MY FRIENDLY VALENTINE

January 21, 2020

January has been speeding by and it’s time to get serious about Valentine cards! Today’s card uses an “old” stamp set, Meant to Be and some “new” designer paper and a heart doily(151191) from the Occasions catalogue.

The Meant To Be stamp set has matching Stitched Be Mine dies and I used them to add a little “wow” for the background. I love the pops of red and that sentiment is perfect!

This whole card was created by following along with the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge for this week.

STILL SCENES AT CHRISTMAS

I finally got to use the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate and love it!

It makes a great background for the Still Scenes stamp set and matching dies, so I went all out for this card by using a piece for the background!

I think it looks lovely with the Silvery Shimmer Delicata Metallic ink too! The greeting needed to be smaller so I pulled this one from the Toile Christmas Bundle.

All-in-all a soft and silvery greeting card that works well for a still winter scene!

Make sure to check out my Events Calendar as this card will be included in an upcoming class!

Let’s start the week off with a bough-filled Christmas card! I was playing around with the Peaceful Boughs Bundle again and came up with this great greeting card!

The dies are great to use so putting together these acorns and branches was a lot of fun.

I also used the “masking” technique to get just one part of the greeting so the Christmas die-cut could take centre stage. The Real Red Rouched ribbon is fabulous and added just the right touch to this card.

Check out the list of products used below.

MONOCHROMATIC BUTTERFLIES

Hi and welcome to Cynthia’s Creative Corner! Today’s card is a study in Monochromatic using the beautiful Highland Heather colour from Stampin’ Up!

Of course, I started with a card base of Highland Heather cardstock! Then I added that beautiful piece of Botanical Butterfly designer paper that is Free(with qualifying purchase) from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.

The butterflies themselves were stamped onto Shimmery White cardstock with Jet Black Stazon in and then overstamped with Highland Heather ink. I used an Aqua Painter to lighten the colour on the wings to give it a little contrast. This is just one of the cards we will be creating in the Butterfly Gala card class on Tuesday, January 15, 2019. Have you signed up yet? Visit my Class Calendar to save your seat.

There’s no stamping involved in today’s card – just some fun techniques!

I haven’t used the Embossing paste in quite a while and thought that this brick pattern would work perfectly with that bundle of branches. Adding the ornament from the Detailed Baubles Thinlits dies finished it off nicely. I also like the muted silver tone of the Galvanized Metallic Paper!

Happy Monday to you! Today’s post features the happy stag from the Dashing Deer Bundle(yes I know, again) which is another of the cards we will be making in this Tuesday’s card class.

The Under the Mistletoe designer series paper has 2 pages full of deer images so I thought that they’d be a great background for this beautiful stag! Cutting him out was easy with the matching Detailed Deer Thinlits dies. You save 10% when you purchase the bundle!

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

~~~Clara~~~

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

~~~Connie~~~

Having Cynthia as my upline has been a very pleasant experience for me. She is always available to answer my questions and is very knowledgeable about Stampin’ Up products. I have attended her classes and they are very professional and well organized. I am always excited to share the projects she demonstrates with my customers after attending her classes. She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!

~~~Leona~~~

Cynthia’s classes are set up very thorough and professional. I learn something new at every class and it is always a fun night out. Cynthia gives a lot of inspiration in everything she does and keeps us looking at her blog. Cynthia knows her product very well and keeps us all informed on new products and sales!
