Pals Blog Hop – From the Heart!
Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for January 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are showcasing projects using Stampin’ Up! products featuring a theme from any of the following: Valentine’s Day; Thinking of You; Get Well; or Sympathy. All of these themes come “From the Heart.” We hope you enjoy our creations.
For today I just couldn’t decide which creations to share with you today, but I finally settled on two very differed Valentine’s Day creations! The first one I am featuring is a card I made for an Occasions Catalog swap I participated in. I used some colors that I don’t typically pull from my supplies, but I love how they came together. The items from the Going Places Suite are so versatile that I love the range, plus I think they are a more masculine stamp set – which I always need! The Going Global stamp set has such a variety of stamps that it is hard to decide what to work with first. For this card I decided to feature the ‘Love‘ sentiment as well as the compass and then pull out the fabulous papers in the Going Places Designer Series Paper Pad. I also used my 2″ Circle Punch to mimic the compasses that adorn the background then ties it together with some of the Crumb Cake 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon.
You may or may not be able to tell, but this second card is a 3″x3″ card which I think is perfect for little notes and fabulous for Valentine’s! I wanted to create a soft and classy valentine which could be mass produced for cards to give to all of your loved ones. I pulled out the fabulous new Bloomin’ Love stamp set and used Rose Red Stampin’ Ink on this ‘My Valentine‘ sentiment. I also decided to use my Stampin’ Write Markers in Rose Red and Garden Green to color in the flowers I love how these came out – almost as if I had watercolored! Then I thought it needed something to finish off this sweet card and I pulled out my Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Pad and cut just a strip to add to the cards edge.

Today my creation for this sketch uses a Host Exclusive stamp set in the 2015 Holiday Catalog called Antique Tags!I wanted to create one of my last Christmas cards of this season and I realized that I hadn’t used this darling Santa tag yet! I don’t like mt stamps to be neglected so I pulled this stamp out for today’s challenge! I also used a piece of the gorgeous designer series paper called Season of Cheer and selected the poinsettia design for my background. I then decided to use a series of circles for the bottom left corner of my card using Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler card stock layers until I got the desired affect. I really love how deep and rich these colors are together, I think they would make a series of fabulous Christmas cards!
