THE LAST FROM THE HEART DSP

This was one of the final cards my friends and I made using this dsp.  I had a few pieces that we used n this size.  I didn't want to cut it down any further because I really just wanted to use up the papers.  After I had all of the pieces cut and organized for us to get together there were STILL some pieces left but one of my friends was happy to take them for her own use.  One package of dsp ALL USED!

MORE FROM THE HEART DSP

This was a fun one to make.  I had already assembled the piece with all of the strips of the two dsp patterns on a white piece of card stock.  All we had to do was add the white mat to the red card base, attach the piece with the strips and then the 3" square with the heart cut out of the middle.  A white 4" x 5 1/4" white piece of card stock was added to the inside.

STAMPIN' UP! - From the Heart DSP

I had some of this paper left and was determined to get it used.  This is one of the cards my friends and I made.  One of the centers is getting a variety of designs.  Tomorrow and the next day there will two more cards using this paper but different layouts.

VALENTINE CARDS USING DIES

 Monday my friends Carol and Joanne came to help make the Valentine cards that we donate to three care centers.  This is one of the designs we did for one of the centers.  I have a set of four unbranded heart dies.  These are two of them.  The cards are 4" x 4".  Come back tomorrow and there will be another Valentine that we made. 

Thank you for coming by today!

STAMPIN' UP! - HAND-PENNED FLOWERS, FRAMED FLORETS

Unfortunately the birthday card we sent to our granddaughter in December never arrived.  When I was told, I naturally decided I needed to make another one for her.  Fortunately we do not put cash in the cards for the grandchildren but use checks.  Since her birthday is December 12th, it is possible that her card got mixed up with all of the Christmas mail.  Who knows where it is!  I am hoping that eventually it will either be delivered or returned to our address.

VALENTINE FOR OUR GRANDSON

I'll make this short since I am expecting my two friends to come and help make the cards that we donate for Valentine's Day.  We always have fun getting together.

Now that our grandson is 16 years old, it is getting more difficult to come up with cards for him that aren't too feminine.  I found one similar to this on Pinterest and decided that this might work. What do you think?

HYBRID BOUQUET OF LOVE DIE AND FOLDER

I watched a video of a card doing these layers but now can't find it to link for you.  To get the layers all lined up just right I cut the three hearts all at the same time.  Well, only two actually were cut successfully, but the pink layer had enough of an indentation that I was able to line up the die again and finish it.  After cutting the hearts, then I embossed the front layer and the pink heart that had been cut out.  All of the layers were then added.  When the card is completely closed the cut out areas line up perfectly.  

A 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white was added to the inside.  The embossed pink heart was lined up to show through the window and adhered to the white layer inside.

The front of the card I saw was finished differently, but I just added some punched hearts to finish mine.
