Twisted Pop-Up Valentine
At first glance, this looks like a very simple Valentine. There is a “Wow Factor” as it is opened, though. An 11″ wide pop-up section twists and opens…and it is not terribly hard to create this fun fold. This was a club project this month, and everyone agreed the construction … Continue reading
Terrific Tags Throwback
This is one of my earliest handmade cards. I made it in a class in Columbus, Ohio sometime around 2005. The stamp set “Terrific Tags” came in a cool blue tin with a tag punch. The punch was later available in two sizes. I made a similar card with mini envelopes … Continue reading

We have the perfect colors to play with at this time of year – better than perfect since Stampin’ Up! also offers a gorgeous designer paper series (Love Blossoms) that features these colors. I chose a few patterns for my card. I used the Sweetheart Punch to create a stack of … Continue reading

Sky is the Limit, Take 2
This time around, I have used “Sky is the Limit” for a Valentines Day card in soft colors. It looks so different than the red, yellow and blue birthday card I made with the same set last week (click here to see it). This set is only available with the Sale-a-bration … Continue reading
