Stampin' Up Bee My Valentine - Happy Birthday Card

One of my favorite bundles in the mini catalog is this Bee My Valentine bundle.  I will be honest and share that when I received my mini catalog and I was going through the catalog and this bundle was not on my list.  I usually don't send out too many valentines cards, so I was not going to purchase this bundle.  Then I saw how other demonstrators were creating such fun and cute cards with this bundle and then I had to buy it.  

I have had so much fun creating some cute birthday and thank you cards.  I even used this bundle for my thank you gift project for my orders for the month of March.  This birthday card is a bright and cheery birthday card.

Week 7 f the 12 Weeks of Christmas

Today's project is a fun and easy card to create.  I used out Trucking Along Bundle to create this card.   This is an online exclusive and I have had fun with this bundle.  I have enjoyed using this truck on some fun projects this fall.  I also used the assorted memories & more cards and envelopes because the note cards are larger so I could use the designer paper and only had to trim a little of it.  So this is a easy card to create.

Week 6 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas

Today I am sharing a project with one of my favorite bundles from our holiday mini catalog.  When I send my Christmas cards, I like to have a message of the season.  You will see more projects with this bundle in the coming days,  When I created this card I did die cut the the shepherds on each end of the die in boho blue cardstock and glue them over the dull die cut in misty blue.  I wanted the shepherds to be a different color.

Week 5 of he 12 Weeks of Christmas

One of my favorite designer series paper in our holiday mini catalogs is our snowflake magic specialty paper.  I like to create cards with snowflakes.  I usually have a snowflake stamp and die set in my lineup of Christmas cards.  Do you have a favorite theme in creating your Christmas cards?  I like to have a message for my cards.  I don't do a lot with Santa.  This card has a beautiful shimmer on this specialty designer paper.  I added the adhesive backed glitter sequins to this card to add more glimmer.

Week 4 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas

The project for today is a beautiful "Noel" Christmas card,  The card is a is a beautiful card to add to the cards you send for the holidays.  It is made with our gold foil paper to give it an elegant look.  The background  is created with our Tiny Christmas Trees die and then I put the gold foil paper behind it so the trees would really pop on this card.  I also embossed the Noel with gold embossing powder.
