Welcome to the Creative Inking Blog Hop, I am so excited to be part of this hop and I know you will enjoy all the projects this month.  Our theme this month is Love Always, Anniversary, Wedding, Love you.  I decided to create a thank you card for a wedding gift  Brides always need thank you cards right?  And the Lots of Heart Bundle is perfect!  The bundle includes the Lots of Heart stamp set and the Many Hearts Dies and will be retiring at the end of June so if it is on your wish list, get it now. :-)

I also used the Love You Always Foil Sheets and the Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper!
There are so many heart dies to choose from in the Many Hearts Die set and I used a bunch of them on my card.
There is also a really cool strip die included in the die set and I used it on the inside layer of the card.

Valentine's Day in is a couple of weeks but you still have time to create some super cute treats!  I have four treats to share with you today.  they all contain chocolate and they are all easy to create.  I used the  Heartfelt stamp set and the coordinating Heart Punch Pack along with the Tags, Tags, Tags stamp set and Trio of Tags dies.
Wrap 1 x 3 pieces of the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper around Hershey's Nuggets and add them to a 3 x 6 Gusseted Cello Bag. Tie the bag shut with Real Red 3/8" Double Stitched Satin Ribbon and add a tag created with the Tags, Tags, Tags stamp set and coordinating Trio of Tags Dies.
I made these adorable sucker type treats on my Facebook Live Thursday, check out the video below to see how I made them.  I used the Heartfelt stamp set and coordinating Heart Punch Pack, purchase them as a bundle and save 10%
Crop hearts from scraps of the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper using the Dog Builder Punch and adhere them to a 2 x 2 Clear Treat Box. Add some Hershey's Kisses and wrap it with Real Red 3/8" Double Stitched Ribbon and create a tag with the Tags, Tags, Tags, stamp set and coordinating Trio of Tags Dies.

Create an open ended Sour Cream Container (see VIDEO HERE), fill it with Hershey's Kisses and add a Heart Doily and punched hearts with the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Heart Punch Pack. Clip the hearts to the container with a Mini Library Clip.

Have you guys seen the Christmastime is Here Suite of products that are available while supplies last in November? I have a Online Class on this Suite and some of the cards are NOT Christmas cards,  You can get the class with a precut cardstock kit, purchase the bundle of products and get the class and precut kit as a bonus, CLICK HERE for the details. 

It is a gorgeous collection including the Christmas Rose stamp set, Christmastime is Here Specialty Designer Series Paper, Gold Shimmer ribbon, Gold Glitter Dots and a gorgeous bracelet.
  I took one of the patterns form the paper pack and when I first looked at it, I thought the little Poppy Parade dots were hearts so I created this Valentine's Day card. :-) I started with a 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" layer of the DSP and added it to a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Whisper White.
I used the Stitched Be Mine dies to create the hearts on the front of the card and ran a strip of Poppy Parade Textured Weave Ribbon.
I used the To Every Season bundle for the sentiment and small hearts for the inside.

Here is a fun little Valentine Treat wrapper for those small boxes of Brach's Candy Hearts.  I purchased a sleeve of five for $1 at a local store so they are super affordable.  
I started with a piece of cardstock that measures 3 1/2" x 7 1/4" and scored it at 1 1/4", 2 1/4", 3", 4 7/8" and 5 5/8"
Definitely remember to stamp the wrap before assembling it!!  Check the video to see what I mean. :-)
I used a variety of hearts from the Be Mine Framelits set that is part of the Meant To Be Bundle.  When you purchase our bundles, you save 10%.

Welcome to the Creative Inking Blog Hop, I am so excited to be part of this hop and I know you will enjoy all the projects this month.  Our theme is love and I chose the Well Written Thinlits Dies to create my card along with the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder whch is a carryover item from the Holiday Catalog. The Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet is part of our Sale-a-bration promotion and you can earn it FREE with a $50 order!  It comes in a pack of eight sheets, four Lovely Lipstick and four Grapefruit Grove and they are both gorgeous in real life! I ran my 4" x 5 1/4" layer of foil through my Big Shot with the Swirls & Curls TEIF and I think it looks pretty cool!
My sentiment is two of the dies from the Well Written Thinlits set and I die cut each word four times.  Three of the layers are from Lovely Lipstick cardstock and the top layer is the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet.  I used our Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to  make adhering the layers much easier. The butterfly and flower image are cut from Powder PInk using other dies in the Well Written Thinlits set as it includes 24 dies!!  I created this fun piece so I could see at a glance what sentiments and images are included in this set plus this just makes me so happy when I look at it! :-)

It's Valentine's Day and I needed some quick treats and this is what I came up with.  I always wait until the last minute to make them.

Thankfully, I already had these Hershey's Chocolate hearts so I didn't have to run to the store.  I used the Sweet & Sassy Framelits along with the Love Notes Thinlits to decorate the hearts and to make the cute tag.

I cut a tiny envelope out of Vellum Cardstock and also die cut a little insert for it. The Sealed with Love stamp set coordinates with the Love Notes Thinlits and I used it to stamp on my tiny note.  I tied the 2x8 cello bag closed with some of our Blushing Bride Stitched Satin Ribbon. 

I used the Sealed with Love stamp set and Blushing Bride ink to stamp the hearts and then I cropped them with the Love Notes Thinlits and the Sweet & Sassy Framelits.

I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!

Wanted to make a cool Valentine for my husband and I really wanted to use Melon Mambo, not because it's his favorite color but because, I hadn't used it in a while and I love it!!!!

I decide to make him a Z-Fold Card because I'm pretty sure he will think it's really cool. :-)
Below is the card closed, I used a lot of fun products on this card, starting with the Pop of Pink Designer Washi Tape.  I added it in three places -
*To separate the punched hearts border from the focal point (I added the Washi Tape to a strip of Whisper White before I added it to the layer)
*On the right edge of the inside layer
*A different pattern on the right edge of the top layer
I also used the edgelit, the small envelope, the tiny envelope liner, the small note card in the envelope and the heart pattern that fits on the top of the note card.  all of these pieces can be found in the Love Notes Framelits Dies.

Here's a closeup of the heart border and the envelope.  The Confetti Hearts Border Punch was used on the left side of the top layer and I also used the punch on a scrap of Basic Black so I could inlay a few of the black hearts to really make the border pop.  I chose one of the patterns in the Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper for the small envelope and die cut a tiny envelope liner from Whisper White to hide the reverse side of this paper as it didn't really fit my theme.

And here is the inside layer, I stamped images from the Sealed with Love stamp set in both Melon Mambo and Memento Tuxedo Black.

A Z-Fold Card is super easy, start with a 4-1/4 x 11 piece of card stock and score it at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2.  Fold the card in half and then fold it back on itself.  Add a layer that measures 3-1/2 x 5 and you are done. Decorate and embellish as desired.

Have you seen the Sending Love Suite?  It is so fun and full of some great products.  I have created a video for you to show all the pieces that come in the Love Notes Framelits Dies and how they coordinate with the images in the Sealed with Love stamp set.

I also show you all my swap cards, I received over 30 swaps made with this suite and they are amazing!!!

  VIDEO - The Sending Love Suite (Can't view it in your reader, Click HERE to view it on my blog)

Here are some of the cards I show you in the video.  You can click on the photo to make it larger.

I love the use of the half doily and Falling Petals Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on this card and the heart was dropped from one of the patterns in the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack

This card has a couple of hearts cropped from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and the arrow is inlaid into the Basic Black layer, cool!

The Large Letters Framelits were used for the letters and the middle strip is cut from the Sending Love Glassine Sheets.

Another card with the new doily and a small bow using the Sending Love Ribbon Combo Pack.  Check out what the edgelit in the die set does, super cool!!

Two of the patterns in the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack, Layering Circles Frameltis and Metallic Thread.

Another card that uses the Large Letters Alphabet Framelit set, this time they are affixed to a piece of Window Sheet so the Designer Series Paper shows through.

Here is a close up of the Sending Love heart embellishment, it was inked in Real Red and covered with Wink of Stella, so sparkly.

Butterfly birthday card created with two of the detailed hearts

Great use of the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper and those tiny envelopes are adorable.

So cute, a couple of the small stamps in the set can be used as a postage stamp!!

Multiple die cuts are used on this card.  The arrow was snipped in half so it would appear a bit longer to fit behind the envelope.

Thanks for shopping with me!!

I made these treats with the Tiny Treat Boxes, Snuggles and Smooches Photopolymer stamp set, the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack and the Happy Heart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

These adorable Tiny Treat Boxes measure 2" square and are the perfect size for a few chocolate treats.

I ran a 3/4" strip of the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack from the back, along the bottom and up the front.  I trimmed it off and used the 1/2" circle punch for the thumb slide.

I stamped various heart images from the Snuggles and Smooches Photopolymer stamp set and punched it out with the Sweetheart Punch.  The 2" circle under the heart was embossed with the Happy Heart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I also lined the inside of the box with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of the Designer Series Paper scored at 2" and 4".

Fun way to use up some of those scraps of Designer Series Paper that we all have in our craft stash.

Some Valentine fun with a few sets.  In addition to the One Tag Fits All, Snuggles and Smooches and Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp sets, I also added a couple of images from the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set called You Brighten My Day. (see photo to the left)

You can earn this set FREE with a $50 order placed in my store and I am also offering a FREE Mini Treat Bag Kit with a $50 order, get those details HERE.

I enjoy making Z-Fold cards, they are fun and interactive and pack a WOW.  I used some of our fun new Heart/Valentine themed products and you can use these products all year. 

Some of the fun products used on these cards include the Confetti Hearts Border Punch, the Stacked with Love Designer Washi Tape and the Happy Heart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  It is hard to see in the photo but if you click on it to view it larger, you will be able to see the Happy Heart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on the Basic Black the left panel

I love the Note Tag image in the One Tag Fits All stamp set and I love it even more as it coordinates with our Note Tag Punch.
