Groovy Love...hearts, hearts, hearts...

Today's post is all about hearts!  This stamp set is a lot of fun and has a matching punch so NO fussy cutting.  :-)  You all know how much I love to fussy cut....NOT!
 
Time to be thinking about Valentines.  It is sneaking up on us quickly...
Hope this provides some inspiration for you.  You can find this set on page 110 and the matching sweetheart punch on page 222.  The pearls and venetian crochet trim are just the accessories to top this card off.  Those little things add so much.
Enjoy your weekend!

Butterfly Basics, one of my new fav's!

It's been a while since I posted...my apologies, I have had my stamp room torn to pieces going thru things and getting rid of garbage.  Organizing takes a lot of time but hopefully I can stay on track once I get it all done and keep it organized a bit better.  Going to have to make some changes in order to do that but it will be for the better.  :-)
 
Today I am playing with one of my new fav's from the occasions mini catalog.  Turn to page 26 and you will find the set and framelits I am playing with.
 
Here's what I came up with:
 
I used pear pizzazz, pool party and so saffron for colors.  There is a bit of a trick with the intricate design of the framelit and getting it all to fall out without poking each one individually.  Now each big shot machine is a bit different but this is the "sandwich" that worked for me.
 
SANDWICH FOR CUTTING DETAILED FRAMELITS & THINLITS
  • Magnetic Platform or Multi-Purpose Platform
  • Cutting Plate (the flatter, the better); hmmm...might be time for new ones for me!  :-)
  • Unused Dryer Sheet
  • Cardstock or Designer Series Paper
  • Wax Paper
  • Framelit or Thinlit
  • Cutting Plate                                                     
When done running it thru you will remove the plate, wax paper, then the framelit, then pull the cardstock away from the dryer sheet (it's gonna want to stick) and all the little pieces stick to the dryer sheet.  Magically wonderful!  I just use cheap, unscented dryer sheets from the dollar store.
 
Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day!
