Happy Valentine's Day! Today is the big day. Did you send out those Valentine cards? If not, you can still mail them now or even hand deliver them. Today's card is a design that I borrowed from an old card swap that I had received. Usually, I give away my old card swaps, but I really liked the clever design of this card with the sentiment peeking out from the inside so I kept it in my stash to recreate at some point. And in case you're … [Read more...] about Sending Love
Valentine's
Simple Is Good
It's perfectly okay to create quick and easy cards. It's better to have them completed and sent on to the recipient than waiting for perfect inspiration or just the right supplies. Like today's card, which is a simple Valentine for a special person. We all want to hear that someone cares for us and remembers us. This card took only a few minutes to make, but it can put a smile on a loved one's face for hours. P.S. Valentine's Day is … [Read more...] about Simple Is Good
Be Mine
The Hearts of Elegance bundle is in our Online Exclusives section of our store. This bundle does not appear in our regular catalog. Instead it's available through our online store. I paired the bundled with our brand new gift bags. The gift bags come in a pack with two different sizes. This is the smaller gift bag. I left the top open so I can add some treats to it. The mini gold heart that I used is self-adhesive. The hearts are out … [Read more...] about Be Mine

Happy Valentine’s Day!
It is so nice to open my mailbox and find something other than bills or flyers addressed to "Occupant". I just received a lovely Valentine's card from my friend Lyndi in the mail a couple days ago. This really tickles me because Lyndi lives across the street from me. You're probably wondering why she bothered to mail it when she could have just left it on my porch or handed it to me. She knows, just as I do, how nice it is to open your … [Read more...] about Happy Valentine’s Day!
Love You
There's just something so sweet about pink and red hearts. Add in a bit of gold and you've got a fabulous card. Since I was working with the this fabulous paper and die cutting a bunch of things, I ended up with some strips of heart cut-outs. Not willing to let them go to waste, I used them on my card. I just love that pink swirl paper in the background. It almost looks like frosting. I'm so glad I picked this paper as one of my FREE items … [Read more...] about Love You
Thoughtful Moments
On Monday I shared a perfectly lovely simple card. Today we are going to step it up a notch. I'm using the Most Adored pattern paper that's FREE with Sale-A-Bration with the Adoring Hearts stamp and die bundle and the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder and dies. Oh my goodness, this Hybrid set is pretty incredible. Honestly, I waffled on getting it, but I loved the words in the set. And I love that the letters are raised in the embossing … [Read more...] about Thoughtful Moments
