Sorry for the absence I've had a family emergency that took me away. I just found out my dearly loved most favorite Uncle has lung and lymph node cancer. I'm sure he would appreciate prayers and good vibes sent his way...
Getting onto a happier note: my sweet and super talented friend is guest posting today! I love her craftiness and I know you will too!! Without further adieu here is Milli's post and if you fall in love with her project please be sure to check out her blog One Scrap Happy Momma for all her other goody projects! oh and p.s. she sells Close To My Heart (insert big heart smile)!!!
As you know, I'm a moderate card maker - and very sporadic at that. I decided to try my hand at some Valentine's Day cards this year. Close To My Heart had a gorgeous paper pack called Heartstrings that I wanted to play with and I'm a sucker for word printed paper!
And how about that gold foil sticker? That's left over from my Year >> Noted kit! I still have a few of those left so don't be surprised to see them here and there.
Although you can change the colors of the layers in Design Space, it helps me to use a scrap piece of paper to designate which color in Design Space equals which paper I'm actually using. This way I don't confuse my prints. Of course, it didn't help so much in this case - probably because I didn't look at the color mats cutting when I fed the machine! LOL!
For the front of the card, I used my January Stamp of the Month, This Moment. Close To My Heart is fabulous in that the Stamp of the Month is usually a month ahead of the holiday that it is useful for so that you get immediate use out of it. In other words, November's Stamp of the Month was Christmas stamps; January's was Valentine themed. Make sense?
So what will February's Stamp of the Month be? A beautiful spring-themed floral set titled A Happy Hello, which could be yours with any qualifying purchase for only $5.
Isn't that a lovely stamp set? There are some amazing projects being made already with this stamp set! Here's a quick layout I made:
