...and they call it PUPPY LOVE

It is amazing what can be created using card stock and punches and dies!  When I saw the original designed by Mary Jo Price-Williams, I just knew I had to make one too.

To make this cute "puppy love" card, you will need:
card stock:  Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Basic black, Real Red
punches:  XL Oval, Small Oval, 1/2" Circle
dies:   Hearts framelits
etc:  Big Shot, Crumb Cake ink and marker, Signo White Gel pen stampin' sponge, adhesive

Helpful Hint:  To create a folded card, be sure your place the top edge of the scalloped heart die just outside your folded Crumb Cake card base.

Using our Hearts framelits and the Big Shot made cutting out all the heart shapes a breeze!

Happy stampin'!

GRATEFUL HEART

Hi Stampers!
For many, Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer; soon plans will be made for fall events.
But my husband Lou and I have even more to celebrate early every September -- our anniversary.  Yesterday we marked 34 years of marriage, and I thank the Lord for bringing this dear man into my life.

And of course that calls for a special card.  Lou likes all kinds of cards, but this year I wanted to do something a little different, but still on the simple side.   Here's what I came up with:

He loved the rugged carved heart tree look and I am so pleased!

To make this card, you will need the following:
Occasions Alphabet set; Naturals Ivory and Very Vanilla card stock; Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Early Espresso pads and Stampin' Write Markers; Woodgrain textured folder;  Hearts framelits; Big Shot; Full Heart punch; stampin' sponges and dimensionals

 Every day is a day to celebrate!  Thanks for stopping by.
