Be Mine Valentine

Welcome to another fabulous TGIF Challenges!  This week have a fun Inspiration Challenge to share with you!

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, I figured one more card using the Sweet Talk Suite would be perfect for this challenge.  Between the watercolor DSP and stamped images from the Sweet Conversations stamp set, they were meant to be!

I stamped some X's and O's in Petal Pink on a piece of Petal Pink DSP, then added a little layer of the cute conversation hearts DSP.  Next came the die-cut label from Sweet Hearts Dies on Shimmery White, which I watercolored with Pool Party.  A couple X's and O's were stamped in Pool Party too!

I die-cut a row of hearts from the Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper, attaching them to the label with a strip of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon and securing it with a white Baker's Twine Bow.

A couple hearts were cut from the DSP to top the tag and the negative's from the hearts dies created the perfect little embellishments.  A simple Happy Valentine's Day sentiment was added and this card was complete!

Do any of you love the little conversation heart candies?  Those sweet treats are one of my sweet tooth weaknesses this time of year!

I hope you'll join in the fun and play along with us this week!

Happy Stamping!

Supplies Used:

Make it Monochromatic ~ Control Freaks

Welcome to this months Control Freaks Blog hop!  We are sharing some of our favorite Stampin' Up! colors and some of us are even making monochromatic creations!  You may have arrived from the amazing Melissa Davies of Rubber Funatics or you may just be starting.  Either way, make sure you hop all the way through!

I chose to {kind of} go monochromatic with my creations.  Sometimes I just can't veer away from using black!

 

First up is a Valentine card that is sweet enough to eat!  I used the adorable Sweet Talk DSP, pulling the patterns in shades of Real Red and Petal Pink.  Then I selected some equally adorable candy and hearts in the same colors to fussy cut.  Yes, I know the dies coordinated with some of the hearts the DSP, but fussy cutting is my jam and I don't mind it one bit!

The DSP did most of the talking here...except for the simple Happy Valentine's Day sentiment stamped in Real Red.  I love it when that happens!

Next up is a Pool Party friendly hello.  I LOVE the Friendly Hello DSP and would love to see it make it's way into the next Annual Catalog...a girl can wish, right?!?  I cut a flagged strip of beautiful Pool Party and Basic Black floral DSP, then stamped my own piece of DSP using the Friendly Hello floral images.  The cute little bird was stamped in Memento and just a touch of Pool Party was added to the wings and flowers.

In true Craft-somnia Momma fashion, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white on Basic Black and fussy cut it...shocker, right?!?!  A few Artistry Blooms sequins were tucked in here and there and that was a wrap for this card!

Next up is the amazing Cindy Elam of Hearts Delights Cards

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Freshly Made Sweet Conversations

Hello stampin' friends!

I'm taking a little break from Christmas creating to {finally} give some love to my January-June Mini Catalog preorder items!  I am a sucker for ALL things Valentine's, so the Sweet Talk Suite was a must have for me!  These little conversation hearts are the cutest!

This card was inspired by this weeks Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge as well as the sample card on page 10 of the JJ mini.  I loved matching these cute little hearts up with the stripes on the Sweet Talk DSP.

Anyone else absolutely LOVE it when you can let the DSP do the talking...and this DSP really does do the talking with all of the adorable conversation heart messages.   The ONLY stamping on this card is the sweet and simple Happy Valentine's Day, stamped in Real Red.  And y'all know I can't have a card without some sort of bling!  The Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels are so pretty and another must have!

I struggle to use a big piece of DSP to cover a card base, but this Petal Pink and Real Red pattern is just too cute NOT to use.  I'll just have to be sure to snag another pack of this DPS soon...because the fear of running out is real for this paper  hoarder collector!  

I can't wait to create more projects with this adorable suite!  It will be available to customers January 4, 2022!

Happy Stamping!
