Hand Crafted with Love

 Plain to Spectacular with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool - The card base is a standard 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" Very Vanilla Base, but there is nothing standard about this masterpiece after my stylus has his way.  For a video tutorial about the Simply Scored Scoring tool Click Here

It's true the PS I love you stamp set is a perfect choice for Valentines day, but it is not limited to just one occasion.  Try the PS I Love You stamp set for Wedding, anniversary, Sweetest Day, and Love You cards.

The matchbox die is large enough to Nest 4 Hershey's Nuggets.  The base is Blushing Bride card stock and the cover is Twitterpated designer paper.

 

Robin's Craft Tips
Scrunch Victoria Lace on a strip of Sticky Strip 

Add a couple Twitterpated Designer Buttons with mini glue dots

Stamp your frame and message using the PS I Love You Stamp Set and punch with the Word Window Punch.

The stitches in the pleated ribbon and the stamped stitches of the PS I Love you stamp set compliment each other.

The Fashionable Hearts embosslit die embosses 5 unique patterns. Better yet, they simultaneously cut and emboss these fun hearts.  Pool Party Baker's Twine rounds out our card with a complimentary bow.

Congratulations, Sue!

"The plastic brad boxes can be used for many things, but my favorite is a travel sewing box. You can pad and cover the lid for a pin cushion. I have used them for a water color brush cleaner also. Enjoy"

Thanks to all who participated.

Coordinated Card Making Supplies

Making Cards with a coordinating stamp set, embossing folder and edgelit die makes a real statement.  Today's Thank You Card oozes elegance.

The Thanks was stamped with the Outlined Occasions stamp set which I earned for free as a Sale-a-Bration Reward stamp set.  The stitched lines are a terrific match for the stitched line of the Bordering Romance Stamp Set.

The embossed hearts peeking just below the card front  were embossing with the Adorning Accents embossing folder.  Don't forget to emboss you envelope flap too.  The band of raised hearts dance across you envelope saying it all.

Robin's Card Tips

• For perfect placement try embossing just above where you intend to cut your edge.
• Then line-up your Adorning Accent Edgelit just below your embossed image and cut.
• Emboss once again with you Adorning Accent embossing folder just below your cut edge.
• Line up your Bordering Romance Stamp and stamp using Poppy Parade Ink.  How Pretty is that?

Paper Crafts for the Frugal Crafter

Frugal Paper Crafters will love today's crafting tips.  Think outside the box when using your punches for alternative uses.  Clean your work area to find inspiration for your next project.  And enter your frugal paper craft tips for chance to win Frugal Crafter Blog Candy.

Robin's Paper Craft Challenge

• Do you remember yesterday's stretched Fancy Favor bag?  The Everyday Enchantment Designer paper tabs that I removed for my bag were the inspiration for today's Birthday Card.  What's on work area?  Today's Paper Craft challenge-use something left out on your work area or a scrap from your most recent project to inspire a new project.

Our focal point is the Packed for Mom Stamp die-cut with the Labels Collection Framelits. A picture is worth a thousand words and Packed for Mom speaks volumes.

It seems only right to add feminine touches to our "girlie" card.   Lucky Limeade Ribbon (a free Sale-a-Bration gift) and Basic Rhinestones dress our card up nicely.  Like a  Chic outfit, the card base is embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.

The Occasions Mini is officially here.  Seriously, I don't know how to choose just one favorite product.  

Robin's Stamping Tips

• Let the PS I love You stamp set say I love you year around.
• Let the inside show.  When your interworks are beautiful, why hide them?  Slice off a bit of the front to reveal your message.
• Make your cut beautiful with the Adorning Accents Edgelits & embossing folders.  Stay tuned to Stamping Country for a video tutorial featuring the Adorning Accents.
• Make Hearts & Labels in 6 different sizes with the Hearts or Labels Framelits.  Mix & Match for added interest.
• Dress your envelope for every occasion with stamps.
