I am excited to play with this weeks Friday Mashup, since my friend Hayley, from Stampin’ UP! with Hayley Kew, is one of the guest designers this week.

For this week’s challenge, we were invited to create a project, not necessarily a card, using the following photo as inspiration.

Love is definitely in the air this month and I have been creating some Valentine Cards to send to those special people in my life. As luck would have it, one of the cards I had already created, works perfectly with this weeks challenge. Hearts, hearts and more hearts, with a little bling thrown in.

My card:

I really gave my Big Shot a work out with this one and I really don’t know what I did without it!

Here are the details:

Card Stock: Whisper White, Love Patterns DSP, Real Red, Pretty in Pink

Stamp Set: Candy Conversations

Ink: Real Red, Pretty in Pink

Tools: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Top Note Bigz Die, Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die.

Embellishments: Basic Rhinestones, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Thanks for taking a look.

Valentine’s Day is fast , so I decided to use this theme for this week’s Mojo Monday.

This week’s sketch:

My card:

When I first saw this week’s sketch I thought it would be easy to come up with a design. But looks can be deceiving – what looks simple can sometimes be very tricky.  I had a hard time coming up with something that wasn’t too simple (or boring) or too fussy (not my style!). It took a while but I have to say that I am pretty happy with what I ended up with.

Here are the details:

Card Stock: Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Whisper White, Love Patterns DSP, Red Glimmer Paper

Ink: Real Red

Tools: Big Shot, Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, dimensionals, Corner Punch, Large Oval Punch and Scallop Oval Punch

Thanks for looking and if you want to know how you can enter the world of Stampin’ Up, leave me a comment and I would be happy to help.
