SHAPING UP!!!

My friends over at the SUO Challenge site this week is looking for "shape" cards! Anything other than a square or rectangle!!!

I decided to pull out my Floral Frames Framelit Dies and give myself a dose of spring!!!! This has been the hardest, longest, yuckiest winter that I remember! I can't wait for spring, and flip flops, and sunshine, and........!!!!

So here's my card:

The paper is from the gorgeous Painted Blooms DSP!!!!! You can find that in the amazing Occasions Catalog! 

The cardstock is from a Brights Coordinations Pack that Stamping' Up! sent me for free for Paper Pumpkin subscriptions!!! I believe it's still available on the Clearance Rack! But I love the texture of this cardstock. And the colors seem so bright!

The stamped image is from A Round Array!  So a very simple card! I hope you enjoy it!  Now head over to the SUO Challenges site & get some inspiration for your next project!!!! All Stampin' UP!!!

Happy Stampin!!!

CAS VALENTINE'S DAY CARD!

Today's challenge card is for the SUO (Stampin' Up! only) Challenge! This time our challenge was for a CAS (clean and simple) Valentine's card! Now that can be tough because we tend to get "flowery" when we are all lovey dovey!!!

But here is a card I think fits the bill!!!

This is a card we made in my Valentine's Day Class! Now I know the pic isn't clear but it's a pretty sweet card!

I absolutely LOVE the Hearts A Flutter bundle! I can see lots of non-Valentine's uses for it!!! It's so nice that we have the Framelits!!! They make life so easy!!! The Bitty Banners too!!! lol 

I used some of my retired yet still fantabulous materials for this card! The card base is Blushing Bride. The ribbon is the 1/4" Grosgrain in Whisper White (oh please bring back this ribbon SU!!)  Throw in some DSP from the Regals Stack & some Rose Red & I think it's a pretty clean and simple card!!!

Hope you enjoy-and sorry for the blurry photo!!! The camera skills are coming along!!! lol

Happy Stampin'!!!
