Grandkids' Valentines

Here are the valentines I made for our grandkids. I already posted the one we're giving to our granddaughter - these are for the boys.

I used the same die for each of them - cut out of different colors. The embossing folder I used for them is from Darice. The "Be My Valentine" stamp is from Inkadinkado. The "To my Special Valentine" stamp is from Darcie's.

Edited to add: The white border was done with a Martha Stewart punch. Thanks, M-J!

Elegant Embroidery #1

Okay, here is the first card with my Stampin' Up! set called "Elegant Embroidery."  Even though I like the stamps, I'm not sure if I'll be making more cards using it or not. I colored the stamp with Zig markers and then stamped. I added a flat shiny sticker for the flower center. I cut the image out with a stitched rectangle die and matted with green. This was originally one piece, but I messed up stamping the sentiment, so I cut it apart. I scored three lines under the image and mounted on foam squares. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession and embossed with clear embossing powder.

Cattail Birthday

A friend borrowed this Memory Box die of mine, so, while it was out, I decided I should use it. I think I'd only used it on one card so far. I'm glad that others have gotten some use out of it, too! I cut it out of kraft cardstock and placed a piece of ivory underneath the cut-out image. Then I added it to a kraft base. The sentiment (from Impression Obsession) was stamped with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder.

February Calendar Page

The year is already flying by! Here is my February calendar page.

The heart was cut with a Stampin' Up! die that I borrowed from a friend. I cut it out of both pink and red. The sentiment is from Fiskars. The patterned paper is from a Recollections matstack.

You can find the Excel file for my calendars through the links under my blog title. If you use them, I would love to hear from you!
