Digi Valentines...


Hi friends!  Thought I would share some of the cards I made with digi stamps for Valentine's Day.  It has only been about a year since I discovered digital stamps.  I think I enjoy using them because they are easy to resize and you can use them in many different ways.  I wish I was a little better versed at using photo shop so that I could create card scenes with different pieces but maybe someday.  For now I am using the simple approach and putting them into Paint and resizing them and printing them out. 

Most of these cards are made with a digi stamps set from Whimsie Doodles.  They always have the cutest little stamps and the gals on the team over there give you such inspiration!

I got a little adventurous this year and decided to make some shaped cards with my nestablilies dies.  Those were so much fun and a lot of my customers liked them too!













This last card was made using one of the digi stamps from Amber Ink.  I just love this little stamp it is so funny!  I ended up giving it to my hubby!


Well thanks for peekin' in!  Hope all is well with you and yours.  Take care of you!!

Valentines...

Hi friends how are you?  I know Valentine's Day has been and gone but I haven't had a chance to post and show you the many valentines I worked on this year.  I am so excited to show them to you because they are all made with new stamps that I got this year.  I know, I know...don't you have enough stamps?  Well can a girl ever really have too many stamps?  I think not!  The cards I am sharing with you tonight are all from Gina K Designs.  I love Gina K!  Her website is full of the greatest inspirations!  Her stamps are very high quality rubber and they come cut and mounted on sticky foam ready for you to place on your acrylic block and stamp away.  The set used in the cards below are from a set called Heartily Yours by Nina Brackett.  The cool thing about this set is there is a Heartily Yours Additions set that goes with it and it has other phrases and sayings that can be used through out the year not just at Valentine's Day!

I thought this lava lamp was so stinking cute!  On the inside of this card I stamped "I'm in lava with you"!


Here is another version of the lava lamp card.


This wishing well was just too much fun to color!  I made her in a few different color combinations.  I like the way the "stitching" turned out on this card, it added a nice finished look.


Here's the purple version...


And on this one, although it is hard to see in this picture I added stickles to give the hearts around the well a touch of sparkle!  I also used a heart embossing folder with the pink cardstock to give it a little dimension.


This little love bug stole my heart!  I thought this one was so much fun in pink!  I couldn't resist!

And here's another version, it's hard to tell but the center of the hub caps are large jewel bling.

Who can have a Valentine's Day with out a few love birds?  The phrase for this one is just right!!


Coffee, tea or me...says it all for Valentine's Day don't cha think?



Thanks for peekin' in on me.  Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day.  Don't forget to check out Gina K Designs!!  Talk to you soon friend!
