Loads of Love Valentine

This Valentine was made with the Stamping 411 sketch#188 here.
I started with a Basic Black base and added some Riding Hood Red card stock. Then I added some DSP from the Love Letter DSP. I stamped the truck from Loads of Love on some watercolor paper and colored it in with blender pens and Basic Black, Real Red and Melon Mambo Classic Ink pads. I used the 1/2 inch Circle punch to punch out some Riding Hood Red circles and added some heart buttons from the Bitty Buttons. I ran a strip of Riding Hood Red thru the Scallop Edge border punch. Loads of Love was stamped on Very Vanilla in Riding Hood Red, punched it out with the 3/4 inch Circle punch and layered it onto a piece of Riding Hood Red punched with the 1 1/4 inch Circle punch, all popped up with Stampin dimensionals. Finally, some 1/4 inch Basic Black grosgrain finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:

Papers: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, watercolor paper, Love Letter DSP
Inks: Basic Black, Riding Hood Red and Melon Mambo

Hello Pretty in Pink

I was inspired to make this card for the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge #135 here.
I started by running Pretty in Pink card stock thru the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper textured impressions embossing folder. I used some DSP from the Patterns DSP Subtles Stack. I ran the Chocolate Chip piece thru the Scallop Edge border punch and pierced the scallops with the Paper-piercing tool. I stamped the dress form from Chic Boutique in Chocolate Chip on Whisper White and again on some Pretty in Pink DSP. I colored it in with the Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink Stampin Write markers, cut it out and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals.  I stamped the flourish in Chocolate Chip, colored it with the Pretty in Pink Stampin Write marker and cut it out. Hello was also stamped in Chocolate Chip but on Pretty in Pink card stock and I punched it out with the 3/4 by 15/16 inch Oval punch, popping it up with Stampin dimensionals. Then I added a Chocolate Chip piece punched with the Decorative Label punch. A 5/8 inch Chocolate Chip Jumbo brad and some 5/8 inch Whisper White satin ribbon finish it off.

The balloon heart, little hearts and sentiment are all from the Love Impressions Rub-ons. That's it, no stamping!

This one was made with the MojoMonday sketch#175 here.
The base is Baha Breeze card stock and I added some DSP from the Springtime Vintage DSP.

The 2 3/8 inch XL Scallop Circle punch was used to punch out the Not Quite Navy scallop. I inked up the stamps from Thanks for Caring with my Baha Breeze, Not Quite Navy and Pear Pizzazz Stampin Write markers. The butterfly was stamped on Vanilla with Not Quite Navy, cut out and layered onto some Not Quite Navy card stock. The circles and part of the butterfly were popped up with Stampin dimensionals.

Clean & Simple SAB Thanks

I made this super quick card for the Create with Connie and Mary sketch#134 here.
My base is Melon Mambo card stock and I used the paper and die cuts from the SAB Ice Cream Parlor DSP and Quick Accents. The scallops are die cuts and I just adhered them and trimmed them down. Then I added some of the polka-dot DSP. I stamped thanks from Thank You Kindly in Melon Mambo and punched it out with the Decorative Label punch. I then punched out two pieces of Melon Mambo with the same punch and just trimmed them down to create a mat. I added some more die cut flower and dot stickers. I punched a piece of the Melon DSP with the Itty Bitty Shapes punches pack and adhered a Bitty Button, threaded with a sliver of Whisper White. Finally, that whole piece was popped up with Stampin dimensionals.

Filled with (Chocolate) Love

Since the Filled with Love promo is almost over (Jan. 24th is the last day to order), I figured I'd make another Valentine. I used the Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge #36 here  for my Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink color combo.
The base is Chocolate Chip and I added Pretty in Pink DSP from the Love Patterns DSP. A strip of Chocolate Chip was run thru the Scallop Edge Border punch. I colored the two stamps from Filled With Love with the Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink Stampin Write markers, stamped it on Whisper White and punched it out with the XL 1 3/4 inch Circle punch. I used the Circles#2 Big Shot die for the Pretty in Pink circle and the XL 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch for the Chocolate Chip piece. I stamped the sentiment from Filled with Love in Chocolate Chip and punched it out with the 3/4 by 15/16 inch Oval punch and layered it onto a Chocolate Chip piece punched with the 3/4 inch Circle punch, and popped that up with Stampin dimensionals. I used the White gel pen to add the dots to all the scallops.
Finally, a piece of 1/4 inch Pretty in Pink grosgrain finishes it off.
