Hearts Sparkle for You

Last night I was busy creating some Valentines when I came up with this idea.   Inside the card is a personal note that I have handwritten.  I like the silver glimmer paper heart in the middle of the larger heart.

Butterflies, Flowers & Pearls 3-D Effect

The other day I found a beautiful card made by Sandi MacIver.   I decided to create a card like it and ended up making 3 of them.   It is a mix of Big Shot Framelits, paper punches, and designer series paper (DSP) all from Stampin' Up!.

 Here are the 3 cards in one photo.

I like the flocked DSP and the pearls added as embellishments.  Any paper with designs on it shown in the photo is from the same package.

I was on a mission to use some of my scrap card stock on hand, so switched out the greens for the leaves and also the shadow of the framelit.

 With this card I changed the orientation from portrait to landscape.

With any of these cards a sentiment could be easily added.  Since I used the flocked DSP, I did not stamp any center image on my cards.

Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Dazzling Details Glitter Glue

I have had a number of questions about my white/purple glue holder that is shown in a couple of my videos.  I have found that when I am working on a project that storing the glue upside down keeps the glue at the tip of the bottle and makes it so much easier to use.

The white/purple holder is a magnetic paperclip holder that I found a while back at a office supply store.

The amber glass tree stump is actually an antique toothpick holder that I found this weekend for about $5 at the local antique store.

Other items that would work (just be sure that it has a flat base and is heavier than the bottle of glue you are storing in it):  candlestick holder, shot glass, paperclip holder, toothpick holder, tea light candle holder.   Can you think of any others that might work?

Baby Card Created Using My Digital Studio

Thought this would be a cute baby card.  I created it in My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up!.  I can print it out as a photo and then attach it to a card base.   Another choice would be to set up the inside of the card too and then have Stampin' Up! professionally print it (for a fee) for me.  Both ways are good options.
