Sending You My Love

I love Karen Stolpers girls...they are all my favorites...I must admit when I first saw them I didn't think that I'd love them as much as I do...they are perfect for quick cards...there's not much to colour in...but the little you do colour gives them such a big impact...and Karen has one for every occasion you can think of...Geez it's going to take me forever to collect all of them...LOL...these cards are the same stamp...just making very slight differences to each card.

Today turned out quite nice...even though it is very cold and a little windy...but after two days of snow the sunshine is a welcome relief...thanks for stopping by.

Have a stampin' good day.

Thanks Snow Much...3 X 3

This was a perfect day to stay home...have a stampin' good time...and enjoy a cup of hot chocolate...so I pulled out one of my snowmen sets that I love so much...with all the snow outside...(at least 12 inches) this was going to be fun...these little cards are 3 X 3 and I made matching envies for them too.

These little cards can't be mailed in their 3 X 3 envies...but they would be wonderful tucked in a gift basket...a box of homemade cookies...or any little gift.

This is my favorite finishing touch to my cards...a piece of plain printer paper inside of the dark cards to write my note...I usually take the ticket corner punch to the paper...but any corner punch would look great.

These are the 3 X 3 envies to go with the cards...I used printed paper...but they would look good used with a double sided paper also...and to finish it off I used the ticket corner punch and some printer paper to make small labels for the front of the envie.

Thank you for stopping by on this snowy morning...I had fun stampin'...and I hope everyone also enjoyed a stampin' good day...MMMMMMMMM...my hot chocolate was delish.

Gently Falling Hearts

I started making this card over a month ago and never finished it...then I forgot about it...but it has come in handy for me today since I don't have any cards or projects to post.

It's so cute and is a quick and easy card to complete...it doesn't have to be for Valentines day...just add an additional sentiment to make it special for whomever you are giving it to.

Inside the card I used the cream printer paper to write my note...it gives the card a very nice finished look...also it's great for card stock that is too dark to write on...use the corner ticket punch to do the corners of the paper and it really completes the look.

Well that's it for today...I have tons of work to do this morning...and hopefully I will get a chance to stamp tonight...it's going to be very cold today...stay warm everyone...thanks for stopping by this morning.

Have a stampin' good day.
