Sealed With Love Valentine Peek a Boo Card

 As much as I like Stampin Up I also like the My Monthly Hero Boxes by Hero Arts.  This card is made with the Peek a Boo Die from Hero Arts.  Each little window/door opens to reveal a picture or sentiment.  The coordinating stamp can be stamped onto the doors or inside the doors.  I chose to stamp inside the doors so each door when opened revealed a candy conversation heart.  In order to not cover up any of the doors I made half a belly band and adhered it so that it could be opened by lifting the large heart.  The sentiments and dies for the arrow and hearts are from the Stampin Up Sealed with Love stamp set and Love Notes framelits.  I believe both are retired now.  This was a really fun card to make.

I edited this post to add the last picture that shows how the half belly band opens.  It opens and closes back to the front securely with hidden magnets.

Thanks for visiting today.

Back on Your Feet Easel Card

I originally saw this card at Addinktive Designs here.  I found instructions for making a triple easel card on Splitcoast Stampers.  I tweaked them a little but the card still fits in a standard A2 envelope.  The Stampin Up Back on Your Feet set was on my "must have" list.  But I only had a few pieces of the Mosaic paper from a paper share.  Happily I was able to make it work.  My card is pretty much a total case of Bronwyn's with a few tweaks to make it work with what I had on hand. I absolutely love her design.  So I had to see if I could make one too.

All the paper and images are Stampin Up.  Thanks for stopping in today.

Hardest Goodbye Sympathy Card

My friend recently lost her beloved companion of 

12 years, Hannah.  I've known Hannah all of her 12 years with my friend.  I will miss her too.  I made this card for my friend.  

The sentiment is from Whimsey Stamps.  The image is Penny Black.

Coffin Wreath for Halloween

I love making Halloween decorations and this year Stampin Up had coffins!  There are 12 in a pack.  I used 24 coffins to make my wreath.  The tops of the coffins were embossed with the Stylish Scroll embossing folder from SU and decorated with a product called Glimmer Kiss, a paste-like goop with glitter in it.  The middle is black glimmer paper. The large bat was cut with my Silhouette Cameo 3 in black and purple glimmer paper from Michaels.  The orange "boo" was cut with SU pumpkin pie glimmer paper from my stash.  I made the bow with a bow dabra.  Everything was glued together with hot glue.

Thanks for visiting today.

Wiggle Worm Birthday

I really don't like bugs!  But these little bugs are so darn cute.  Inspiration came from Patty Bennett's blog here.  I put the shaker tag on a card and gave it my own little spin.  I'm not a fan of sequins. I have some but I preferred to use prills on this tag.  All the elements on this card are from the Stampin Up Wiggle Worm bundle in the 2019 annual catalog except the prills which are from Heartfelt Creations.

Thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the path of hurricane Dorian. 

Thank you for visiting today.

Geared Up Birthday Card

Made this card for my friend Joe in Pennsylvania.  Joe's birthday is today!  Happy Birthday my friend.  I found the details here.
It uses the Stampin Up Geared Up Garage and You've Got This stamp sets.  I think it makes a great "guy" card.

Thanks for visiting today.  Have a great week.
