Do you like receiving flowers? I sure do and think that they are probably one of the best gifts that show the giver loves you! So today’s card in flower-infused.

No stamping here, just some great dies to layer over those beautiful flowers! I used the Stitched with Whimsey dies(155314) to create the background mat for those flowers and then had fun with the Stitched Be Mine dies as well as the matching dies from the Forever & Always Bundle.

I’m following along with the new layout from Freshly Made Sketches and playing along with the SUO Challenge to use a “Love” theme.

That title is the truth in this day and age – we’re always together in our small, safe bubbles. So why not create a pretty card for the occasion?

I’m carrying on with the love theme here using the Forever & Always bundle(156200). I also decided to use a few more colours than usual with the combination of Rococo Rose, Pool Party and the Just Jade in the designer paper piece. It turned out very nicely and I’m quite happy with it. This just might be the Valentine card that I give to my husband this year(yes, he does like flowers).

Hi on this wintery Monday! I’m starting the week off with a “love” card that isn’t just for Valentine’s day.

Have you checked out the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate(154557) yet? Oh my, it’s beautiful and helps to make the perfect statement on a simple “love” card!

TIP: I adhered the words to the acetate first and then added Mini Glue Dots strategically so they wouldn’t show through. Using a bit of the adhesive from the Fine-Tip Glue Pen helps too.

I just couldn’t leave the card base plain so after adhering the Poppy Parade strip, tucked it into the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder(154317).

I needed an idea for the layout so followed along with the new CAS(E) this sketch challenge.

Here’s the list of products used.

Forever And Always Bundle [156200] $62.00	Basic White 8 1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [159229] $11.25	Poppy Parade 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [119793] $12.00	Basic White 8 1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [159276] $13.25
Gold Foil Sheets [132622] $6.75	Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate [154557] $12.25	Versamark Pad [102283] $13.00	Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder [109129] $8.25
Heat Tool (Us And Canada) [129053] $41.00	Painted Texture 3 D Embossing Folder [154317] $12.25	Stampin’ Seal [152813] $11.00	Stamparatus [146276] $67.00

“All days are beautiful that begin with you”! This is the sentinment that I put on today’s card!

This simple message is to celebrate all of the women in our lives that support, protect and love us! The whole idea for this card came from a combination of three challenges that I’m playing along with. I don’t usually combine several challenges, but I wanted to keep things clean and simple and these three helped to make that happen.

The Paper Players Colour Challenge,

The SUO Challenge to celebrate women and the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

I only took two stamp sets, lol, Floral Essence stamp set provided the sentiment and Butterfly Gala stamp set and matching punch provided that tiny butterfly!

Today’s card features the Sending You Thoughts Sale-A-Bration stamp set for a sensational you card.

I love all of the sentiments in this stamp set and did a little fancy masking to get the sentiment just the way I wanted it! This card is filled with love and that is why I’m posting on The Paper Players “Love is in the Air” challenge.

The “another year of sensational you” is all one stamp, so I used scotch tape to mask off the words to make it easier to separate them for the card layout. If you try this, make certain to clean the stamp after every use!

Here’s the list of products used.

Sending You Thoughts Cling Stamp Set (English) [152297] $0.00	Real Red 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [102482] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper [151189] $20.00

Hi and welcome! Today’s card is full of happy hearts for a sweet Valentine!

I took a piece from the most excellent package of From My Heart specialty designer series paper(151189) and created what looks like an optical elusion. When I was setting it up to be edited I wasn’t sure if it was sitting straight or not, lol. The strip of designer paper was cut at 3-1/4″ wide and 7-1/2″ long. I used a pencil to draw the angled lines to measure 1-3/8″ at the top. Then it was adhered on an angle across the card front and paper snips were used trim away the excess at either end.

The Meant To Be stamp set(148626) from last year has some beautiful dies to go with it so I made good use of them to add the interest and greeting at the bottom of the angled strip. That’s it, a pretty card full of happy hearts for my special valentine.

Here’s the list of products used.

Meant To Be Cling Stamp Set [148626] $33.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Real Red 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [102482] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25
From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper [151189] $20.00	Real Red Classic Stampin’ Pad [147084] $10.25	Heart Doilies [151191] $7.50	Stitched Be Mine Dies [148527] $48.00
Snail Adhesive [104332] $9.50	Stampin’ Dimensionals [104430] $5.50	Fine-Tip Glue Pen [138309] $9.50	Stamparatus [146276] $67.00

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.

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.
