Love Birds

I am having a weird evening of watching Christmas movies and making Valentine's Day cards.  Something doesn't seem quite right!  Although, I have to admit that I could watch "White Christmas" year round white making any occasion of card.  I love Danny Kaye and live for the brief cameo by George Chakiris.  But, I digress.....

Back to card making.  The card I made today could be used for Valentine's Day, but the design would also work well for a wedding card.  Also, I chose a pink flower button, but I think a heart button would look nice too. 

To make this card, I stamped the Branch Heart (E1310) onto paper from the 6" x 6" Gossamer pack using brown Versafine ink.  The Nesting Birds (D1315) image in the center normally has a branch underneath it, but I chose to mask off the heart so that only the nest was stamped.  To finish the card, I added some twine, a couple of buttons, some petal pink jewels, blossom metallic pink cardstock, some 12" x 12" Gossamer paper, and a mocha notecard.

New Paper!

As a first on my blog, I am posting a card that has NO stamping on it.  The new Gossamer 6" x 6" papers are so beautiful, and I couldn't bear to add anything more to this card.  So, I teamed up a blossom metallic notecard with a truffle scalloped sheet of paper and layered some of the new patterned paper on top.  To finish the card, I added a pink ribbon and some petal jewels.  It was such an easy card to make!  Stay tuned for more sneak peeks of the latest products!

New Stamps!!!

I thought I would give you a quick sneak peek of some of the new Memory Box images for Valentine's Day.  Woohoo!  Is there anything better than new stamps?!

For this card, I stamped the bird image and floral image (sorry, they aren't labeled yet) onto some of the new Gossamer 12" x 12" line of paper called "happenstance."  I used my Colorbox Pigment Razzberry ink so that it would match the layers of metallic azalea paper I used as layers.  To finish the card, I used Azalea jewels for the centers of the flowers and placed everything onto a cherry blossom notecard.

How is everyone doing on their holiday cards?  Have you moved on to something new?  I have to admit, I was pretty excited to make some Valentine's Day cards?
