Stampin' Up! Meant To Be Bundle

Its time to begin thinking about your Valentine's Day cards!.  Yes, I know.  It seems that Christmas was just the other day.  We'll when I visited my local Walmart right after Christmas, they were already stocking the candy aisle with Valentine's Day chocolate candy boxes and bags of heart-shaped candies.  Today's card highlights the Stampin' Up! Meant To Be Bundle.  This is a Stamp set filled with hearts and Valentine's Day sentiments, but includes sentiments that makes it useful for anniversaries and sending little love notes in your husband's lunch box.  This bundle also includes the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies, which includes a wide assortment of stitched shaped and hearts with different boarders, plus additional boarders to use throughout your cards and Valentine's Day treat packaging.  If you haven't already done so, download and look through the Occasions catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure to see all of the lovely, new sets and new products available.  

The basecard for this card is Thick Whisper White.  Then a layer of one of the patterns from the All My Love Designer Series Paper.     

Then I die cut the edges of a strip of Whisper White with the scalloped edge dies that is part of the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies.  I dry embossed a strip of Lovely Lipstick cardstock with the Lace Embossing Folder and added it on top the scalloped-edge Whisper White.    

  

I added a bow and ribbon using the 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon.  I tripped the bow to make it puffy, yet the light weight of this tulle ribbon make sit lay flat for easy shipping.       

Then I die cut two different hearts using the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies, both from the Whisper White cardstock, and adhered them to the front of the card using Multipurpose glue.

The sentiment is from the Meant to Be stamp set and stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a stitched oval Whisper White label.  The sentiment is mounted on Dimensionals and added to the card.  

You'll want to purchase the Meant to Be stamp set and framelits as a bundle at a 10% savings (150587) over purchasing the Meant To Be Stamp Set and Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies separately.  This is an investment set as you'll find these hearts and sentiments from the stamp set to work not only for Valentine's Day but for Weddings, Engagements, Anniversaries, and just to let someone know they make you happy.   This bundle qualifies you for a Level 1 selection from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure during Sale-A-Bration.  Order the Meant To Be bundle soon so you have time to create your Valentine's cards and treat packaging.

• Become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and select $175 in products for $99 Kit

Stampin' Up! Artfully Aware Stamp Set

Today's card is a simple card using one of my favorite stamp sets from the Occasion catalog.  I used these stamp sets:  Artfully Aware Stamp Set, Beauty Abounds, Detailed with Love, and Healing Hugs.  I love that Stampin' Up! designs their stamp sets to work together.  In fact Artfully Aware works with the dies and stamps from the Ribbon of Courage set from the annual catalog, which extends the usefulness of your investment.  Both the Artfully Aware Stamp Set and the Ribbon of Courage Stamp Set were designed by million $ sales demonstrators from Stampin' Up!.  Janet Wakeland and Patty Bennett worked with the wonderful designers at Stampin' Up! to create these wonderfully thoughtful and heartfelt sets.  If you haven't already done so, download and look through the Occasions catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure to see all of the lovely, new sets and new products available.  

The basecard for this card is a Very Vanilla notecard.  Then another layer of Very Vanilla.  I like keeping a pack of notecard and envelopes on hand for quick cards and matching envelopes.     

Then I stamped the images from four different sets to create the card front, detailed in the recipe below.  I wanted to keep the card simple, so I chose not to color the images.    

  

The sentiment is from Healing Hugs stamp set.  All of the images and sentiment are stamped in Old Olive ink.     

The inside of the card is another image and sentiment from the Artfully Aware stamp set

The images and sentiments in this card were created to help brighten the day of someone going through a challenging time.  Janet Wakeland  has a large collection of samples, you'll find useful for using this set on her remARKably Created web site. 

You'll want to purchase the Artfully Aware stamp set (149447 - $23.00), and the Ribbon of Courage Set (143855- $19.00) along with the coordinating Support Ribbon Framelits (143749 - $22.00) together to get the most from these sets.  This would qualify you for a Level 1 selection from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure during Sale-A-Bration.  Add these items to your Wish List now.

Then I stamped the Lovely Lattice stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Whisper White twice.  I colored the images with Light and Dark Highland Heather Blends Markers, and Light Granny Apple Green Blends Markers.  Then I fussy cut one of colored image out of the Whisper White and popped it up on Dimensional. I colored and used only two of the flowers from the second Lovely Lattice image I had stamped earlier.  After coloring the two flowers, I fussy cut them, popped them up on Dimensionals and added them on top of the flowers from the original Lovely Lattice image, adding more texture to the card.  

The sentiment is from the Detailed with Love stamp set from the annual Stampin' Up! catalog.    

  

The sentiment is stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto an oval of Whisper White matted with an oval of Highland Heather cardstock.  I also used the Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies to cut two leaves that I added to the edge of the sentiment.   

The ribbon is is the 5/8" Whisper White Flax Ribbon from the Occasions Catalog.  I added Glitter Enamel Dots to three areas of the card.

The Lovely Lattice stamp set is a free set that can be earned with a $50 order during Sale-A_Bration.  Add this lovely stamp set to your Wish List now.  You'll be so happy you did as you create your Birthday and Mother's Day cards this Spring.
