More Valentines

Thursday night was our February Team Meeting

I reward the top 3 in sales on my team with a Stampin' Up! product that they can use in their business, and then I reward #4 & #5 in sales (as long as they meet $300 in sales for the month) with a little treat.

I saw this box by Tarabeth and thought it was very cool. However, Tarabeth did not share the how-to in her video, so I just went to figuring it out myself.

It actually went together pretty easy once I figured out the dimensions of my box. I filled these with some Valentine treats.

I plan to use this same box for my March Card Club using the EASTER BASKET BUNDLE. After I get this all figured out I will share my How-To.

This second card was inspired by Melissa. I was drawn to this card because we love hot air balloons. 

When our daughter was little, and if my parents saw a hot air balloon in the sky, they would come pick her up and "chase" it.  

At out 30th wedding anniversary I gifted my hubby with a hot air balloon ride - super fun!!

Last year our daughter and her boyfriend went to Mexico to see the Hot Air Balloon Festival (& she ended up getting a hot air balloon tattoo).

When I made this card - I made sure to make two of them so that I could send one to them and then send the second card to one of our church members who have had a rough time with surgeries, etc.

DISCLAIMER: I used a non-Stampin' Up! Valentine sentiment on the front and I created my own personal greeting for the inside.

This card combines ENDLESS LOVE with EASTER BASKET

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN FEBRUARY, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE BEAUTIFULLY CELEBRATED BUNDLE (A $53 VALUE)

Quick & Easy Valentine Card

A quick and easy Valentine card

Yes, I am using some retired products, but perhaps you will still find inspiration. Perhaps you have some of these products, but perhaps you can switch things up by using the products that you do have on hand

The hearts were punched out using the Bee Builder Punch. The teeny tiny hearts were retired several years ago - I love using up my retired products.

The sentiment that I used is a Paper Pumpkin stamp. I would encourage you to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, it is a great source to get some very handy stamps and you can also get the add-on dies that are valuable for all card making and scrapbooking opportunities. 

You can subscribe at stamping.com and I would ask that you choose me as your demonstrator.

We enjoy a fun evening once a month to assemble our paper pumpkin kits, but it is totally optional. These kids are super easy to put together with the great instructions, but you also have the option to change things up if you desire (which we do all the time)

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN FEBRUARY, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE BEAUTIFULLY CELEBRATED BUNDLE (A $53 VALUE)

These cute little treat boxes are out today for my Tuesday Stampers as a "thank you" for their continual commitment to coming to stamp with me each week.

It's not much, but they are simple to make. My friend, Donne, made a bunch of these up for her mom to hand out, and when my hubby went to their house to help them out with a house issue, she gave him one of these cute boxes, and Donne was happy to share the instructions with me.

Card Stock: 5-1/2" x 1-1/2"

Score @ 1", 1-3/4", 3-3/4", 4-1/2"

Designer Paper: 6" x 2"

Score @ 1-1/2", 2-1/4", 3-3/4", 4-1/2"

Cut the Belly Band: 1/2" x 6"

the hearts were punched out using the Bee Builder Punch

I put a couple miniature Hershey Candy Bars inside.

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN FEBRUARY, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE BEAUTIFULLY CELEBRATED BUNDLE (A $53 VALUE)

One More Bug - ok - Two!

This fun little bug card is one I made for one of the gals on my team who heads off to Florida for the winter.

The sentiment comes from THE RIGHT WORDS, and the die cuts come from BEAUTIFULLY CELEBRATED. 

I love the new HEARTS OF LOVE Embossing Folder, don't you??!!

A scattering of LOW PROFILE DOTS finish it off.

The dies from SWEET BUGS cut out the images from the designer paper, but I didn't purchase the stamp set/bundle so I fussy cut this little guy out with no problem.

This card was inspired by Tracy Bradley

This second card was made for my hubby for his birthday. He actually has a Valentine's Day birthday. (which kind of messes with things to be honest)

We will celebrate 49 years this June and he still makes my heart buzz!!

This card was inspired by Su Mohr

The stamp set for the sentiment is from BEE MY VALENTINE

Here are the instructions that Su shared:

I began with a card base of Mossy Meadow, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, scored on the long side, 3″, 6″, and 7 1/4″, and folded. The top piece is 3″ X 8 1/2″, scored on the long side at 4 1/4″, and folded in half.

After cutting and folding, I glued Sweet As A Bug Designer Paper to the front of the card base: 5 1/4″ X 2 3/4″ and 5 1/4″ X 1″.  Then, I glued a different pattern of Cute As A Bug Designer Paper to the front of the top piece, 2/3/4″ X 4″. When gluing the top piece to the card base, I glued only the portion that touches the card base, while laying folded, and flat, to insure the edges were even. I also added Basic White Cardstock to the inside, 5 1/4″ X 2 3/4″, for a personal message.

“You make my heart buzz” is from the Be Mine Stamp Set, stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used an Endless Love Die for cutting the heart. The flowers and bee were cut from Cute As A Bug DSP with Sweet Bugs Dies, and all were attached with Dimensionals. I like the way the flowers fit the shape of the heart. For extra pizazz, I added three Ladybug Epoxy Shapes. Can you find the third one, hidden on a leaf?
