I am constantly having people say that they love sets like the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set in the current Occasions Mini Catalog, but that they don't think the investment is worth it for the one day holiday... Valentine's Day. Well, there is no need to put those hearts away! Hearts in all colors are always welcome in country decor... especially if they aren't pink or red. I decided that this was a wonderful time to share some heart themed projects that can be used any time of the year. Since I am a "Scrap Packrat"... who saves even the smallest pieces of paper, ribbon, etc... I decided to also give you some ideas on how to incorporate scraps into your projects.
I think this is the perfect thing to have on hand for when you need something special for someone! Everything but the Rich Razzelberry card stock was a scrap from my scrap stash.
Supplies Needed:
Stamp Sets: I {Heart} Hearts, Whimsical Words (FREE with a $50 order!)
Inks: Rich Razzelberry, Melon Mambo
Card Stock: Rich Razzelberry, Scraps of Whisper White
Accessories: Scraps of Razzelberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper, Scrap of Apricot Appeal 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Wide Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals.
I love the look of Amish quilts and couldn't resist doing a paper version to share with you. It is definitely a one of a kind... at least until you make one of your own. Use the "You are One of a Kind" saying from the One of a Kind stamp set (pg.130) on the inside and it becomes the perfect greeting card for a birthday, anniversary, or just because!
Supplies Needed:
Card Stock: Soft Suede, Basic Black and scraps of Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Bermuda Bay
Accessories: Scraps of Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper, 1 1/4" Square Punch, Heart to Heart Punch, Scraps of Apricot Appeal 1/4" grosgrain ribbon
