 Yum! Those are some sweet lookin' cupcakes for "love" at Cupcake Inspirations #634! So it looks like THIS card will be my last Valentine for this year, lol, and I dug out 2022's Sweet Conversations to have a go! Looking at the inspiration cupcakes, I decided to pull this "XO" sheet from the Made With Love DSP pack - thank goodness I refreshed my Valentines papers this year, lol. After some fiddling, I went with the "fold-over" trick - pulling down one corner to show off the back of this sheet, too! The main sentiment went right on that slant, and I finished with a few random conversation hearts in Bubble Bath. I think I need to play with this color more - it really is fresh!

 OK, one last Valentine's prompt for me, and then I'm done, lol. In{k}spire Me #583 gets it! I checked my critter section for this one, and when I saw this sentiment in Pet Love, I knew this was it, lol. I think my dogs tell me this all day, every day, lol. I pulled in the Made With Love DSP, and squeezed it two patterns - this glorious background, and the calmer dotty sheet for the kerchief. So fun! To break up the patterns, I slipped in a Stitched Be Mine Heart, and just for fun, also threw on the little "always" collar tag from the stamp set. Just perfect, lol.

So many goodies on the Festive Friday #202 Valentine's inspo list! Fun fun fun! Just in time for this challenge I got my next Online Exclusive pre-order in! Yay! I got several super cute things to tide me over til the next catty, lol. When I saw pink and gray listed on the inspo list, I thought right away of our upcoming Moon & Back set - how adorable is this? We don't have many "space" sets, and I knew I needed this little astronaut as soon as I saw him, lol. Besides pink and gray, I have hearts, arrows and a "love" sentiment - perfect! This was so fun to play with today!

RSVP today to save your spot! Class is ON for Saturday, Feb 14, at 1 pm - note the special time!  So cute - Shopping Our Stash #566 is called "love me do," and they want to see love cards! I couldn't resist pulling out my loving lumberjack for this one - Wood You Be Mine? from 2015! So handsome, and he looks great in Pretty in Pink, don't you think? I had a lot of fun coloring him in Valentine colors, and floated him over a Timber embossed background, too - a few sweet Loose Valentine hearts finish things off. I am smitten! Wood You Be Mine?

Time for a little cookin' this round at As You See It #365's recipe challenge! So, I have to admit, I consider vellum to be my crafting nemesis, lol, so I always try to think of minimizing it, as well as disguising whatever adhesive I used on it! What better way to accomplish all this than by sandwiching it between layers of other papers?? Inspired by the circular theme in my teamie Deborah's elegant card, I came up with this flashy little Valentine! First up, I brought the bling with a full background of Red Glimmer paper - yes, I've had red glitter somewhere on my face for three days, now, sigh. Next I pulled my retired Circle Sayings stamp set, because one of the rings is to "celebrate!" So I created 3 layers to feature it with my Spotlight on Nature dies, and added some sweet hearts in the middle in all the shades of red I could think of. I finished with a little sweetheart sentiment from Valentine Kisses! Whew! I can't wait to see what YOU cook up this round - meet you at the challenge! Circle Sayings Stamp Set (retired 2024) & Valentine Kisses Stamp Set & Dies; Made With Love DSP; Basic White, Vellum, Red Glimmer, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Poppy Parade & Sweet Sorbet CS; Real Red Ink; Spotlight on Nature Dies; #AYSI365.   Just in time, we have some SWEET colors for you to play this round at Sunday Stamps #378! After pulling my favorite heart-y sheet from the new Made With Love DSP pack, I went all the way back to 2012 for the P.S. I Love You stamp set, lol. I still love this one so much! Today I went for the chocolate covered strawberries, and inked them up with my Stamp-n-Write markers. I even had to break out the Stamp-a-Ma-Jig to get it all lined up! So nostalgic, lol, especially after I pulled out the old Modern Label punch, too. I used to use this one for everything, lol. I can't wait to see what sweetness YOU come up with for our tasty colors - meet you at the challenge! P.S. I Love You Stamp Set (retired 2012); Made With Love DSP; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Granny Apple Green, Poppy Parade, Strawberry Slush, Flirty Flamingo & Early Espresso Stamp-n-Write Markers; Early Espresso & Flirty Flamingo Inks; Happy Heart EF (retired); Modern Label (retired) & 1 3/8" Circle Punches; White Transparent Dots; #SSC378.   Such a fun challenge - Inspire Create Challenge #207 wants to see "something new!" So one of my newer sets is of course Valentine Kisses - these kissing bears are the cutest! So far, I haven't used the little kissing booth dies - this is my chance! I made a sweet little booth in Crumb Cake and Bubble Bath, then set up the tip jar (lol) and a few Bubble Bath decorations for it. I finished with more of the Loose Valentine's Assortment mix - those little lips! Something else new for me is the amazing Party Banners Dies - I've had them for a bit and NEVER used them! Another good first for today, lol.

I don't get to play here very often, so I'm thrilled! I recently realized that I have used all my Valentine's papers, so I refilled with the upcoming Made With Love DSP pack in the Spring Mini catty - super cute basic Valentine's patterns, with very good color layouts on all the reverse sides - so versatile I had to get it! And look how adorable it is with the Valentines Kisses bundle! Perfect for our loving bears, like this smoocher with some cupid wings, lol. I threw on some Loose Valentines Assortment embellies, too - love the tiny envelopes! I think this is supposed to be for shakers, but I can't resist them placed just so! Valentine Kisses Stamp Set & Dies; Made With Love DSP; Basic White, Flirty Flamingo, Real Red & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake Blends Marker; White Gel Pen; Loose Valentine Assortment; #FMS717.   Aw, In{k}spire Me #555 is their Valentine's Special! Yay! I couldn't resist pulling out my super sweet Bee My Valentine set for this one - I even still have a little of the DSP left! When I rummaged through my Sweet Sorbet folder of retired scraps, I also found this awesome Ombre Glimmer sheet, too - perfect for a big background heart! I did a quick (but still cute!) bee, and dressed up my sentiment with some honeycomb, too - so fun, and really fast, somehow! Bee My Valentine Stamp Set; Bee Mine DSP (retired); Basic White, Sweet Sorbet (retired) & Sweet Sorbet Glimmer (retired) CS; Daffodil Delight & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Sweet Sorbet Stamp-n-Write Marker; Bee Builder & 1 3/4" Circle Punches; Stitched Be Mine Dies (retired); Adhesive Hearts & Flowers (retired); #IMC555.   Lol, If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #201 has some sweet Valentines cookies for us this round! Yum! I decided to do a browse of the Shelves of Retirement for something Valentine - but my critter section starts right after "small holidays!" And right next to the Valentine set I was thing about was my Kangaroo & Company from 2021! And I remembered, she had this cool set of hearts to tuck in her pouch, that look SO much like these cookies, lol. Anyway, Roo won the ink today, but I did dress her up with some scraps of Marbled Elegance DSP, and this quirky-fonted sentiment from the 2019 January Paper Pumpkin called Be Mine Valentine. It just worked! Kangaroo & Company (retired 2021) & Be Mine Valentine (Paper Pumpkin Jan 2019) Stamp Sets; Marbled Elegance DSP; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler Blends Markers; Kangaroo Dies (retired); Festive Pearls in Gold; #Cookie201.  |
