Valentines Scraps

I try and try to use scraps, but my box of scraps grows faster than I can use them.

The last few weekends I have devoted to using paper scraps,

regardless of where the paper comes from, it all ends up here!

In This Box ......

All the large pieces, have been scored and creased into failed boxes, treat holders and envelopes.

I refuse to throw paper out.

My addiction to paper is worse than I ever imagined.

 

Anyway, here is a cute card idea to help you use a few scraps of paper from your

scrap collection.

 

 

I used the small heart die, from the Hearts Framelits (125599)

And the (now retired, but always my favorite) Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder.

And lots of little scraps of paper to put behind the hearts.

Add Dementionals, and you have an easy card!

Stars would be nice for a Birthday card!!!!

The possibilities are endless.

 

Happy Stamping!



 

Valentines Box Card

One more Box card!

This one is a Valentines for my son. I plan to sneak it into his lunch box.

I can't think of a batter surprise at lunch time!

 

I did not use Stampin Up paper but the Stamps, dies and punches are all Stampin Up!

I used The Monstermaniacs stamp set (134972) for his box card. I love the little space monsters in this stamp set.

I also used the following dies sets.....

Hearts Framelits (125599)

Apothecary Accents Framelits (127003)

Labels Collection Framelits (125598)

 

(Update on this card... Mar.2nd. He loved it. He had it sitting on his desk for a week!)

And these cute little Valentines treats, he will be handing out to his class mates.

The heart paper is not Stampin Up, however the stamp set is ,

Rev Up the Fun (130523)

 

 

 

Happy Valentines!

 

 

 

 



 

 



Valentines Pop Up Card

Here is one of the cards we made in class.

I did two versions of this card using the Hearts Framelits (125599)

And Notable Alpabet stamp set (126357) and the new Blessed Easter stamp set (133212)

 

 

 

A note about my Blessed Easter stamp....

I cut the Easter blessing away from the flower.

Which gave me Two stamps.

I can now use the flower and the saying with other stamps, or alone.

 

I borrowed instructions from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtxeNMzdJ50

and created my own version of the card.

 

And here it is.....

 

Front

the inside of another version....  Beating Heart.....

 

 

On this one, I used 3 sizes of hearts.

 

Happy Stamping!

 

 



Pop Up Box Card

Everyone has been making these beautiful Pop Up Box Cards,

So naturally I had to try one.

Ok........ Three!

 

I wanted to use up some old DSP as well.

I ended up with some pretty box cards and gifts to give away in my classes as well.

I got my directions from splitcoaststampers.com

Dana Kowal did a beautiful job giving easy to follow directions.

 

 

I plan to have an advanced class to make this box card.

So stay tuned for the Class date.

 

And here are the ones I practiced making.

 

 

This card measures 5 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches, when closed.

I wanted a smaller card to fit into the A2 envelopes, so I down sized the measurements

and came up with the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 size card.

Here are the two smaller cards I made....

 

 And my favorite......

 

Happy Stamping!!!

Candy Corn Treat box

 

 

I went to a Scrapbooking Retreat last weekend.

I had a great time with my daughter and friends.

They are all such a lovely group of ladies.

And I cherish each years Retreat with them.

 

My "Table Mate" and Friend, Vanessa, worked most of Saturday night on the cutest treat boxes.

She worked and worked, and I wondered if she would have time to finish.

I have no idea how late she stayed up working.

But when the rest of us got up the next morning

this is what we saw sitting at our tables..........

 

 

This is just the cutest treat holder I've seen!

She used the Petal Cone Bigs L Die, from Stampin' Up!

You can find it now in the clearance rack on line.

 

Thank you Vanessa for all the work you did to make these, and sharing them with us!

Hope Everyone has a Happy and Safe Halloween!!!
