Be My Valentine

We all need masculine Valentines! And sometimes they are hard to come up with. Here's one that just might do for that special man in your life. I used that awesome DSP called Well Worn. It is (BTW) on the SU! Clearance rack. It's just a great all around masculine paper & the cool thing is is that if you look at it, it has red in it which TOTALLY makes it "legal" for Valentines Day!!! :) Have fun with this!

Mirrored Tree

Here's a card that uses the age old technique of masking. First punch your window mask from a piece of scrap CS. Place it over your CS that you want your image on. Ink up your tree stamp & stamp off once on scratch paper them stamp on mask piece so that 1/2 or so of the faded tree is in the window. You want to then use a dab/brush motion (with a sponge applied to ink) to create the edge of the mirror. Pull off your mask & stamp tree again ( this time don't stamp off on scratch paper once) placing it a little lower & to the right. Add a greeting & ribbon & you've got a very elegant card!

Sending Sympathy

I love this DSP. It is discontinued but was called "Everyday Enchantment". Stampin Up has such wonderful DSP (designer series papers) that there truly ate endless combinations we can do on this card.
