Valentine Projects – Cynthia's Creative Corner

There’s nothing like giving the gift of chocolate to one’s valentines and adding a fancy gift tag to that delicious gift!

These little beauties were created with the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and the beautiful All My Love designer series paper. And, I just couldn’t resist adding that touch of shimmer with a Lovely Lipstick Foil heart!

TIP: When using the Tag Topper Scalloped Punch, cut the cardstock to 2-15/16 wide – it will fit into the punch a little easier.

The Paper Players “Love is in the Air” theme made it easy to create these tags.

TIP 2: The Thinlit Die I used has a tiny heart at the bottom of the die, so I used the Take Your Pick tool to add it to that pretty label. When using this die, make a note of that tiny heart so you can use it on your own project.

Here’s the list of products used.

MANY LOVELY ROSES WISHING FOR SPRING

Me and these many lovely roses are very fervently wishing for spring! One of the best things about having a stamping business is that you can create your own season any time you want! All it takes is some cardstock, ink and a great stamp set like the Climbing Roses Cling Bundle.

I used the Petal Pink and Shaded Spruce combo Stampin’ Blends to colour those little beauties and cut them out with the matching thinlit die. Don’t they look so pretty sitting on that trellis and label? I used a combination of Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots to arrange them.

This would make a great Valentine’s card but my thoughts when making it were for an anniversary or wedding! It’s perfect for either one!

Here’s the list of products used.

Climbing Roses Cling Bundle [150603] $60.25	Lovely Lipstick 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146970] $11.50	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [100730] $13.25	All My Love 12″ X 12″ (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [148576] $15.00

There’s nothing like a great card for a best friend and today’s card fits into that sentiment very nicely!

I’ve been busy creating valentines and think that this is the one that will go to my husband! The Meant to Be Cling Bundle(page 6 2019 Occasions Catalogue) is such a great set to use and looks fabulous when paired up with the All My Love Designer Series paper!

The line-up of hearts along the edge comes from the inspiring sketch that Freshly Made Sketches posted.

I had fun with this one and used some great products to complete it.

THE ANIMAL OUTING BUNDLE IS JUST SO DARN CUTE

Today’s card shows off the very cute Animal Outing Bundle (available in clear mount and wood mount) and matching designer paper. I giggled the whole time while creating this card!

We have two giraffes standing together here, awwww! I cut out the bottom image from the Animal Expedition designer series paper, covered it with a piece of Window Sheet and then cut a scalloped frame. The Layering Squares framelits dies are great for this. Of course the frame is a rectangle so I used the Paper Snips to cut it to size.

Then the Leaf Ribbon came into play….when using this ribbon, the Mini Glue Dots are your best friend!

Here’s the full list of everything that I used.

Animal Outing Clear-Mount Bundle [148324] $61.00	Animal Outing Wood-Mount Bundle [148323] $70.00	So Saffron 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [105118] $11.50	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Card Stock [100730] $13.25

There’s more to the Party Panda stamp set than balloons! How about a little love note.

Isn’t that just too cute? The Paper Players posted a valentine theme and since the Party Panda set was still on my table – well, there you go! Also, that set is the challenge for What Will You Stamp this week. So I’m playing along with that challenge as well.

If you haven’t seen this oh-so-cute stamp set yet, here is the challenge photo. It’s just one of the Free selections from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue with a qualifying purchase!

If you look very closely at the photo, you will see that I used the Simple Stripes Embossing Folder(page 5 of the Occasions Catalogue) for a little background interest.

And, here is the full list of products that I used. Note – the Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker from the Brights collection was used to colour in that tiny heart.

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!

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!!
