Valentine’s Day cards using Sweet Talk DSP and Simply Marbleous DSP

 Welcome to my blog. I’ve been working on Valentine’s Day cards. I have a lot of stamp and die resources in my stash so I tend not to buy any more. But I do love the DSP in the new mini catalog. The above cards I made using the Sweet Talk DSP from the Mini Catalog and the Simply Marbleous DSP I earned from the Sale a Bration catalog. I also used the Hedgehog punch from the Mini Catalog. The punch is part of the Happy Hedgehog Collection. I bought the bundle ( cute stamp set) but you can purchase separately Remember when buy 50$ of product you get to choose something from the Sale a Bration catalog. The card bases are dies I have from The Stamps of Life. They are the Flip it Heart, Circle Flip it and Heart Stand Up. You can find them on the Stamps of Life website.

If you are in need of Valentines stamps and dies the new Mini Catalog has 2 sets to choose from.You can purchase the whole bundle or the parts you want. You can order them from  my website.They are: 

-Sweet Conversations Bundle

-Love and Happiness Bundle

Gate Fold Valentines card using Happy Hedgehogs and Simply Marbleous DSP

 Welcome to my blog. Getting started on valentines cards. This gate fold card uses the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set from the new Mini Catalog and the Simple Marbleous DSP I earned from the Sale a Bration catalog. The Happy Hedgehogs can be bought in a bundle that comes with a hedgehog punch. I haven’t tried the punch yet.

Materials and Directions:

- To make the gate fold card base you need a piece of cardstock 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 ( I used Flirty Flamingo). 

Score @ 2-18 on both sides.

- The outsid layers  I made using 2 pieces of white cardstock 2 x 5-1/4 and 2 pieces of DSP 1-3/4 x 5

I used a heart stencil to make the hearts on the DSP. The stencil is from my stash and the ink is Stampin Up Polished Pink. I then adhered the DSP to the white cardstock then adhered to the card front sides.

- For the inside layers I used Blushing Bride cardstock 4 x 5-1/4 and adhered a 3-3/4 x 5 piece of white cardstock to it. The sentiment is from Stamps of Life hedgehog set.

- Belly Band is a piece of cardstock 11 x 1-1/2. Score @ 4-1/4 and 2-14. Put around card and glue.

The heart is a die from my stash. I stamped the Hedgehog image on it using Soft Suede ink. Glue the heart to the belly band.

Fun cards using New Horizons DSP(from mini catalog) and Daffodil Afternoon DSP (from sal a Bration)

 Welcome to my blog. Here are a couple of more cards you can make using your DSP. I got this idea from Karen Titus (stamping on the back porch). This a good way to use your 6 x 6 papers. From your 12x 12 you can make 4 cards. Works especially well with scenery paper.

Materials and Directions:

.- The card base is 4 -1/4 x 5-1/4 of cardstock. I used white.

- Take your 6x6 piece of paper and cut as in photo ( from Karen Titus). 

When your finished you will have 4 pieces you will use to make the card front.

- Adhere to the card front as seen in the photo.

You can stop here and the card looks great. But I used the deer from retired SnowFront stamp set and the birds from Light House 2 stamp from the Stamps of Life. I like how the look on the card.

- For the card on the right I used a layering piece. This piece is 4 x 5-1/4. The DSP is then cut 1/4 inch less. This is the measurement from Karen Titus.

Adhere DSP to the layering piece and they adhere to the card base.

You can order the Stampin Up products from my website.
