FEB 3: A VALENTINE A DAY

It's day three of my plan to deliver a Valentine each day until Feb 14th ... enjoy!

P2015413 Today's card is another that I swapped for at Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Conference in January; it's also one of my favourites.

Made by fellow demonstrator Laura Hoffman, it has the right amount of detail, balance & bling to look great without overdoing it, don't you think?

SUPPLIES:

Papers - Pretty in Pink, Real Red & Whisper White card stock

Inks - Basic Black, Real Red & Pretty in Pink Classic inks

Stamps - Holiday Best (only available to workshop hostesses)

Accessories - "Perfect Polka Dots" embossing folder, "Heart of Hearts" embosslit die, Big Shot machine, Real Red satin ribbon, "Full Heart" punch

My favourite new discovery is how a Full Heart punchie fits exactly over a Heart of Hearts die cut, with only the scallop edges peeking out from behind. In case you're wondering, Laura punched a red heart, then ran the punchie through the Heart of Hearts embosslit to create the tiny dotted heart pattern, then she mounted it on a Whisper White Heart of Heart embosslit ... too kewl!

Have you given any thought to making Valentines for the special someones in your life? You know, a hand-crafted card shows just how much you care! If you want any help, give me a call!

cheers

FEB 4: A VALENTINE A DAY Here's the fourth Valentine card in a series of fourteen ... one a day until Valentine's Day ... enjoy! I love square cards. Maybe because I started out as a scrapbooker, used to a 12 x 12 square canvas on which to create. Or maybe I love 'em just because we don't see as many square cards as the more traditional 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" A2 sized card. Whatever the reason, my team-mate and friend Samantha Forrest has made the most of this smaller 4x4 surface - isn't it adorable?

Hi, I'm Donna Henley, and I've been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 2002 and a long-time scrapbooker/amateur photographer before that. I have two grown kids and a SUPER-SUPPORTIVE husband who doesn't mind a little ink under my fingernails & glitter in my hair. Since 2002 when I first discovered Stampin' Up!, my hobby has gradually grown ... and as of January 2008, it is now my full-time job; I'm my own boss at last - WAHOO!!!
