Beautiful Valentine Banner

Here is a beautiful Valentine banner I'd like to share with you today. Wouldn't you love to receive this! Oh my goodness it is so lovely. Our CEO Shelli Gardner created this project for her daughters. Here is some information she shared:

The idea for this banner came from the OnBoard Heart book in the Occasions mini catalog. It was easy to do—just use the larger circles in the Scallop Circle #2 die, and put one each behind the upper circular parts of the heart, then cut out the inside of the third scallop heart and snip the inside edge to make a long scallop strip for the “V” part of the heart. Did I lose you? Try it, you’ll get it.

  I would love to receive this...better yet, I should make one for myself!

Have a great day and Happy Stamping!

Heart Treat Cups

Hi everyone!

Can't wait to share some photos of our Family Stamp Camp! We gathered at my moms' house to make Valentine Treat cards. We had such a great time...all ages stamping and crafting together. I enjoyed it so much. Living so far away from everyone, we do not get to do that often. We helped Sarah make these to send to her cousins who live all over...IL to MN!

Here is the supply list we used to make this fun project:

Sending Love Specialty DSP, Real Red CS, Very Vanilla CS, Real Red Classic Ink, Sweetheart Stamp Set, Heart Treat Cups, Sweet Treat Padded Envelopes (not shown). I forgot to bring my Full Heart Punch with me so we used a punch from another company...we made it work!

We were all tickled with the way it came out and hope the kids that receive them in the mail will be very excited! Here we are working on our projects -    

Here is Sarah showing us the DSP she picked to use.

Here is Jess...she used the new Pinking Hearts Border punch for our layer under the heart. She got the hang of it right away!

Thanks to all the gals for helping us have such a great time!

Share your photos with us as you create your Valentine cards and projects. We love to see what you are working on!

Happy Stamping - Cindy
