Valentine's Day - Love You Much

After searching all over for my Love You Much set from the bundle I got in December, I realized I never received my stamp set (bundle pieces were sent in different packages). So I called SU and they were so cool to send me the set pronto.

I made these to tie closed to hold in some photos, so the ribbon runs along both sides of the card. The three hearts stamp is stamped in versamark on the background of the red card. I stamped the scallop Hugs and Kisses stamp first in black on the pink pirouette (and punched out with the scallop punch), then in real red on the whisper white. I punched just the inner circle out of the the white and layered it on the pink. I colored in the dots with the white gel pen. Then I used dimensionals to pop up the whole thing above the ribbon.

Quick and easy thank you notes

I've been into the cute, but quick mode on some cards lately -- especially when I need to make a lot of them at once.

I put these together for our holiday thank yous (24 of them). I used Stampin' Up! DSP (designer series paper) and a simple "Thank You" stamped.

I used some wintery/holiday paper (but not too holiday). I cut squares and then split them in half for each card. The cardstock doesn't match the DSP exactly but it works pretty well.

This could easily be adapted for other times of the year or events by changing the cardstock colors and DSP.

Stamps: Thank You Kindly
Ink: Close to Cocoa
Paper: Wild Wasabi (retired), Soft Sky (retired), Wintergreen DSP (retired), whisper white
