Congratulations to the following winner of a subscription to the upcoming edition of InkSpirations 4U!

Random.org selected #97.

I haven't participated in a sketch challenge for a long time but I saw this Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge and couldn't resist playing along.  A friend of mine recently lost a grandparent and this sketch was perfect for my card design.  I used this really sweet sympathy set from Peachy Keen called Mitsy Sue & Colby Cheer Up.  I paper pieced the kitty with a butter colored polka dot paper.   All of the papers are from a retired Stampin' Up! collection.

Valentine's Day is coming up quickly and will be here before you know it. Why not get a jump start on your Valentine goodies for the sweethearts in your life?   This heart shaped treat box is easy to make and oh so pretty! The front of the treat holder has a pocket that is perfect for a gift card or the matching note card.

After taking a break (what break? LOL), I am back to contributing to the Papers & Pixels online magazine.  This year I will be featuring a series of action cards.  My card for this month features this fantastic Peachy Keen stamp set called Valentine Cupids.  I can share pictures of the project.  Details and the step by step tutorial is available in the January 2012 issue of Papers & Pixels.  If you aren't already subscribed, it's a fantastic deal!  It's $1.00 per issue when you subscribe for the year (12 issues) or $1.50 for a single issue.  Not only is it packed with many wonderful ideas, but each project comes with a step by step tutorial!  Also included are give-aways such as free digi stamps & papers, svg cut files and special blog candy and discount codes from many of the vendors inside.

It's finally time to reveal all of the great new Inspired by Stamping stamp sets!  You can buy it HERE.  Once again, I'm showing you a card made with the Hearts stamp set. There are lots of stamps in this set!

 The hearts on the card are all glittered with dazzling diamonds and the greeting is outlined with a gold stardust pen.  The section is raised in the middle with dimensionals.  Once again, I used the new pleated ribbon from Stampin' Up! which is my new favorite embellishment.  I wish you could see this in person, it's so glittery and shimmery!

After many requests, Peachy Keen has created a Stamp of the Month Club.  Each month, members will receive a set worth $39.95 for only $24.95.  The club is a 6 Month subscription.  This is a GREAT DEAL on fabulous stamps!  The new Design Team is sharing their fabulous creations made with the first SOTM.  Join the fun in a linky party over at the PKS Challenge Site.  The January 2012 set features angels, cherubs, hearts and valentine greetings.  This is a HUGE set.  The largest stamps in the set are also big.  What a great bargain!  Details on joining the club are HERE.

This is my creation using the new SOTM.  These little cherubs are the sweetest!  The faces are interchangeable.  I wanted to make my little angel sleeping on a cloud.  I die cut a bunch of clouds and layered them all over the back with dimensionals.  The angel and clouds in front are popped up.  The card closes (although it's a big thick).  Sorry I didn't have time to write a tutorial for this one.

Here's another project coming at you.  The Sweet Valentine's set has so many wonderful greetings in it!  I wish you could see this card in person.  The paper has glitter imbedded in it which you can't see in the picture.  It's so soft and pretty.  The Hearts set by Inspired by Stamping will be available to purchase on Saturday.

Inspired by Stamping is releasing a new batch of fantastic stamps this Saturday.  For the next three days I will be sharing my creations using the new Valentines set called Hearts.  This set will be sure to capture your heart!  The other design team members will be sharing peeks of other sets coming out.  Please be sure to stop over at their blogs to see all the other great ideas.

I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to guest design for Emma from My Creative Time.  I instantly fell in love with her greeting sets the first time I saw them.  They are made from the same high quality peachy rubber you have come to love from Peachy Keen.  They stamp wonderfully with all kinds of inks and the sentiments are truly awesome!   Today I'm using a set called "You Had Me at Chocolate".  Below is a picture of what you get in the set.  Take some time to check out her other stamps HERE.


I created this special project just for you!  Below the photo is a downloadable tutorial for the Ferrero Rond Noir candy box with Bon Bon card.  ENJOY!




If you love this project, you'll be thrilled to know that Emma has asked me to design a project once a month.  You can look forward to more fun and inspiring projects featuring these fantastic stamps!

Have you seen the new Occasion Mini Catalog? It’s fabulous and chalk full of great new stamp sets and accessories! This pretty project uses several new products from this mini. The new Adorning Accents Edgelits and Framelits dies, Adorning Accents embossing folders, new designer series paper and the beautiful new Apothecary Art stamp set!

This folder and cards make a perfect gift for Birthdays, Mother’s Day or a "just because" gift. Makes a great class or club project too!  This beautiful project was designed by Laurie.
