Use the Holiday Mini for Valentine’s: Part 2

Time to share with you the other Valentine Idea I had using Holiday Mini products! I've been asked to lead a group of women at our church in making 2 projects to send in College Student's Valentine's Boxes, so that's what these ideas have been created for.

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• Stampin' Write Markers work perfectly when you have an image such as this one that calls for multiple colors on one stamp. Just ink up the rubber with the brushed end of the marker and you're good to go!
• I used to always mat my main image cardstock pieces by cutting an extra 1/4" to my cardstock, creating a 1/8" mat on each side. Lately, I've been cutting an extra 1/8", creating a 1/16" mat on each side for a more subtle look, as shown here.
• I just adore being able to cut chipboard from the Big Shot! Here, I used the Hearts & Brackets die.
• The Designer Paper that you see on the left hand side of the card is a fabulous flocked paper – a first for Stampin' Up! I just love having an additional element of interest, and one that I don't have to work to create!

Wandering Thanks & Appreciation

I wanted to make up about 20 cards as Thank You Cards for the Women who attended the Women's Retreat at our church a few weekends ago. I was asked to lead two projects with them (see my old blog) and it was the first time stamping for many! So I just wanted to send them a little note and invite them to my next upcoming class. So these cards needed to be a little on the simple side of things, nothing too wow this go around!

I have received a lot of the Level 1 "Patterns Designer Series Paper Packs" and wanted to use up those papers, so the paper pack determined my color combo! I ended up having 3 different "looks" as I rotated through the background paper. The Ruby Red shown above and then the Really Rust and Mellow Moss shown below:

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• The wide grosgrain ribbon was tied uniquely by going up through a slot punch before being knotted. TIP: For trimming your ribbon ends at a "v", fold your ribbon in half and make 1 angled cut. Then when you unfold, you have your two cuts perfectly even!
• This big bold image can be a little bit stubborn to get a crisp image – try stamping on a tile or other rock solid surface.
• Earn this Designer Series Paper for FREE by hosting a workshop or placing an order totaling $150 or more!
