Strawberry Slush Valentine

 Hello & Happy Thursday, Friends!

Today I have a quick Valentine's card to share with you!

The card looks like a normal card on the outside but the inside I used the Blending Brushes to decorate for a different look...

Card Details:

Stamps: Endless Love, Forever Lovely (retired sentiment on front), Penny Black (sentiment inside)

Ink: Strawberry Slush

Cardstock: Strawberry Slush, Basic White, Thick Basic White, Made With Love DSP

Accessories: Endless Love Dies, Classic Label Punch (retired), Strawberry Slush Ribbon, Strawberry Slush In Color Pearls, Blending Brushes, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I made a template with some Thick Basic White cardstock using the large heart die from the Endless Love dies and I used that as a stencil for the inside. I used Strawberry Slush ink and brushed on the ink with a Blending Brush, then I stamped my images inside of the heart while the stencil was still attached. It really gives it a different look and also gave me a chance to break out my Blending Brushes since I don't seem to use them very often. 

So much fun!

2026 Chics Swap Card

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Before I get to my card I wanted to share a picture of Miss Bailee after yesterday's doggy day spa...

Here she is on her Dad's lap after her day at doggy day spa. She just had her supper and was out in the yard. I'm sure she was cold and was trying to snuggle up with Shawn. LOL She's the best little dog and I bet now she feels like a million dollars! 💗

The card I am sharing with you today was made in December for a team swap we did. I am part of Angie Juda's downline and the ladies were requesting to do a swap with the new Spring Mini Catalog and the 2026 January Online Exclusives. I loved the Endless Love bundle from the new Stampin Up Spring Mini Catalog so that was what I used for my swap card.

Card Details:

Stamps: Endless Love, Valentine's Day

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Basic White, Made With Love DSP

Accessories: Endless Love Dies, Beautiful Pattern EF (Online Exclusives), Bubble Bath Ribbon, Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

We were required to make 16 cards and send to our fellow Chics team mates.

It was alot of fun and so neat to see all the different cards & idea's the ladies sent!

Here are my 16 cards...

Today I am headed to the stamp table to get started on a card order for Audrey.

She called yesterday with a nice sized order.

Audrey's Valentines For the Great Grands

 Hello & Happy Wednesday, Friends!

 Today I wanted to share with you the cards I made for Audrey's other 3 great grandchildren that are celebrating their 1st Valentines Day this year! All are the same but a bit different. I used the Endless Love Suite from the 2026 Stampin Up! Spring Mini Catalog which is perfect for making Valentines this year! I love the prints & patterns in this paper. The coordinating dies are wonderful and the Hearts of Love 3D EF adds a nice touch of texture to your project!

Card Details:

Stamps: Wildflower Celebration (retired)

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Basic White, Made With Love DSP

Accessories: Endless Love Dies, Wildflower Celebration Dies (retired), Hearts of Love 3D EF, Word Wishes Dies (retired), Mini Alphabet Dies, Loose Valentines Assortment, Adhesive Sheets, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I just pulled out some scraps of the Made With Love DSP and started working with what I had. Audrey loves them personalized which takes some extra time but always adorable when they are finished. She was thrilled with them!

Valentine Sweet Treat

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

Waking up to some snow this morning. Nothing too heavy but it is downright cold out!

They are saying snow all day which may mix with sleet & freezing rain. Power outages are possible. I've declared today a pajama day! I'm having my coffee as I type this then headed to my stamp table for a bit. 

The other day I whipped up a few sweet treats with the Endless Love bundle. These were so fun to make and the stamp girls loved them! I found some Ghiradelli candy at the store and the rest is history!

Project Details:

Stamps: Endless Love

Ink: Strawberry Slush

Cardstock: Strawberry Slush

Accessories: Darice Self Sealing Cello Bags, Endless Love Dies, White Ribbon (retired Online Exclusives), Pretty In Pink Shimmer Dots (retired), Hand Held Hole Punch (retired)

2 little treats fit in each bag and I made 5. My heart is attached to the bag with the ribbon. No adhesives were needed.

I was a bit skeptical on the Creme Brulee candy but they were very tasty & sweet! Yum!

Valentine's Cards

 Good Morning & Happy Sunday, Friends!

We woke up to more snow this morning...I sure hope we aren't getting anymore anytime soon!

I was out and shoveled paths all over the backyard for Miss Bailee to roam around and do her business. Yesterday we got maybe 2 inches, today, 3 more. And on top of that it won't be melting anytime soon as it's to stay bitterly cold for atleast the next 10 days. I swear the older I get the more I was not made for these harsh cold temps!

It sure is pretty but the cold just chills me to the bone!

Today I wanted to share with you the cards I made for Audrey's great granddaughters, Evie & Malia. She now has 5 great grandchildren with another on the way this year. I used a mix of old & new for these cards...

Card Details:

Stamps: Happy Valentines Day (retired), Unknown Alphabet Stamps

Ink: Real Red

Cardstock: Real Red, Bubble Bath, Basic White, Made With Love DSP

Accessories: Endless Love Dies, Heart Punch (retired), Tags to Go Dies (retired Online Exclusives), Hearts of Love 3D EF, Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon, Red Rhinestones (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These were so much fun to create and as usual, I love to mix up the products I use!

I will share the cards I made for her other 3 great grandchildren in a few days.

Hope I have inspired you to pull out all your Valentine's Day supplies and create something beautiful!
