HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

These stitched layered hearts turned into Valentine's cards!  

Gosh, I realized after I uploaded this picture that the colors don't look the best.  Well you get the idea.  I used the Altenew Dotted Swirl Debossing Plate on the white card stock layer.  The Stitched 💗 Heart Stacklets are from Taylored Expressions.  I added various sentiments and some of the cards have a heart glitter sticker in the center of the heart stack.

Happy Valentine's Day!

So I was at Costco and I couldn't resist these pretty hand dipped heart cookies.  I wrapped them each individually and decided I had better share or this could go horribly wrong! ha!  

I had these handle bags in my stash, perfect for a Valentine treat.  I bought them at the Target Dollar Spot.  I just love that they provide inexpensive (cheap!), seasonal fun for us crafty types! 

I made a couple of quick tags using the Amuse Studio With Love stamp set and the Tag Builder Blueprints 4 Die set by My Favorite Things.  

Cupcake Tower - Yes, Please!

I had fun coloring this cupcake tower by Taylored Expressions.  The set is a Stamp & Die Combo called Sweet Tooth Tower.  I had the patterned papers left over from a class that I took last summer at Taylor's Studio.

Fishtail Stitched Tag Die

One of my favorite things in the Amuse Studio January 2015 Monthly Collection are the new stitched dies.  When I made these tags I die cut two tags in different colors and then cut them to make them two toned.  I love how they turned out!  

The stitching adds such a nice touch to these tags don't you think?!

My Favorite...

It's official my favorite stamp set from the Amuse Studio 

January 2015 Collection is With Love!  I love the images and also the fact that there are matching dies to accompany the stamps.  The Love banner and the With Love banner are two of my favorites.  The flat panel card was made using Amuse Studio Grapefruit Pinstripe card stock.  I had a few scraps on my desk and thought these would be perfect for sending a quick note.
