Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
The stamp set I used here is called Love Bandit and it can be found in your 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog. I have seen so many cute cards done with this stamp set… I had to try it!!!
However, I had a bit of a problem… two days ago I let my girlfriend borrow my heart punches so I had to think of another way to cut a heart in my tree. All of a sudden it hit me… the Big Shot Movers & Shapers die with the Magnetic Movers and Shapers. It worked perfectly!
What could I use to create a tree? Then it hit me why not use the “NEW” Wood Sheets. This would be my first time using them and I was curious as to how easy/hard they are to use. I was surprised… they are thin and really easy to use not to mention they are a very beautiful wood texture. I liked them a lot. I can see more projects with them in my future!
It’s a bit hard to see here but I also used the Jumbo wheel handle with the I {Love} Love Wheel and a Real Red Classic Stamp Pad for my background stamp on the Real Red Card Stock. I also wanted to add a bit of embellishment but not much. This little guy is so cute he didn’t need anything to compete with him. However, I tried the “New” Real Red Corduroy Buttons and some Hemp Twine and I loved it!
The top of the tree was done with Old Olive paper… flicked and Old Olive Designer Series Paper also with flicked edges. The raccoon was just stamped in Basic Black and then I used a two way clue pen with some dazzling diamonds glitter to finish him. He sparkles!
I wish you all a wonderful Valentine’s Weekend! Don’t forget to reach out and touch, call or hug the ones you love. God Bless. Brandy
