Greeting Card Kids Valentine Card

The Paper Players Challenge #127 - PP127

Challenges...well...they challenge me.  I've been creating valentines for a week now and am surprised I had another one in me.  I was going for the vintage Valentine look on this card.  That's how I wanted to introduce the blue from the challenge.

Hope you like it!

I colored the little rosette from the Flower Trim you can get in the Spring Catalog right now with a mixture of Real Red classic re-inker and rubbing alcohol.
The image was stamped in Basic Gray on Naturals White card stock and colored in with a blender pen and markers.
You can purchase all of the supplies used to make this card in my online Stampin' Up! Store.  If you need help with how to order, you can check out this blog post, or you can email me or call me.
Thanks for stopping by!

Itty Bitty Banners Pinwheel Birthday Card

Handmade cards don't have to be ordinary! Take yours a step up with Stampin' Up!

Once again, Stampin' Up! product coordination and stunning embellishments make this little pinwheel card over the top adorable!
Isn't this a nice break from Valentines?

Take a look at how perfectly the Tea For Two designer series paper (129311) works for creating your pinwheel.  All you need is a great pair of paper snips (103579) and some glue dots (103683).

This is a 4 x 4 Very Vanilla card made with a 4 x 8 inch card base folded in half using a bone folder (102300).  The Calypso coral polka dot pattern from the Tea For Two paper is cut at 3 x 3 inches and the So Saffron card stock (105118) layered beneath it is cut at 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches.
I used the Ovals collection framelit dies (129381) with the Big Shot (113439) to cut out the oval shaped chevron stamp from the Oh Hello stamp set (130730 wood or 130733 clear mount) that was stamped in So Saffron ink (126957) on Very Vanilla card stock (101650).  The greeting is from Itty Bitty Banners stamp set (126255 wood or 126257 clear mount).  The happy birthday greeting is stamped in Early Espresso (126974) and cut with the Bitty Banner Framelits (129267).  I added a Vintage Faceted Designer button (127555) to the center of the pinwheel with a glue dot.  The pinwheel handle is just a skewer that I had in my kitchen, cut to the appropriate length, and attached also with glue dots (103683).

Isn't it so adorable!!!  Don't forget you can get the Oh Hello stamp set and the Ovals Collection framelits as a bundle at a reduced price.  Click on the Spring Catalog and check page a 4 for pricing details.
