The Love Notes 6 X 6 Mix and Match Designer Series Paper is one that I had totally overlooked. My upline, Brian King, shared some cards he had made by cutting this paper apart. Oh My!! I was sold. And then it was out of stock of course. But I hopped on it when it was available again. And it is still available.
I will be sharing the cards I created with this paper in the next couple of posts. Today’s is the first one. They are all very simple to do but fabulous for quick Valentine Cards. Here is the first one.
Quick and Easy
That is the title for all of these cards. The DSP pieces are so cute that they can stand alone almost. This one I did layer on a piece of Basic White. Even the strip of hearts is from this paper. It was a cut off piece that just fit perfectly as a strip of love. The best part is there is no stamping involved until you get to the inside for my sentiment.
Extras
The card is so simple, and I apologize for continuing to say that, it only required a bit of DSP and an embellishment. The card base is Real Red and has the layer of Basic White. For the bling I used a trio of White Moody Palette Glossy Dots. These are in a few different colors and small. And that is the card!

I am still loving the Stone & Vines Embossing Folder. It pairs with so many stamp sets. Today’s card is a “lovely” one mixing the vines along with Sweet Blooms. I am loving the mix of colors for this one as well.
The Sweet Blooms Bundle
This great bundle is from the Annual Catalog. Since I was packed up for the move several months I have missed playing with quite a lot from the catalog. So I am going back through and finding wonderful products. This is one of them. The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut, then paired with the “lovely” die cut from the matching Die set. These are more spread out than I would normally arrange them. But I did not want to cover up the floral part any more than necessary. It took some playing around.
Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper
The sentiments are stamped or die cut, and that is all of the stamping other than the inside of this card. The pretty floral arrangement is die cut or fussy cut from the DSP. I wish I could color the flower as beautiful as the pink one is. So I opted to let the professionals do it for me. LOL!!
Stone & Vines Embossing Folder
Once again I have turned to this wonderful new 3D embossing folder. And it is really 3D! Actually this one was embossed at the same time as the previous card using this folder. Having used the two tone Garden Green cardstock, I did one from each side to show the different colors. Although the center of that cardstock is white as you can see from the definition of the leaves. This is the darker of the two sides. You can see the previous card HERE.
Extras
The card base is Petunia Pop to match the flower. I am thrilled with how well it pairs with the Garden Green. To further that pairing, I used the Garden Green Chevron Ribbon to wrap around the layer a couple of times. This was a perfect grounding for the flowers. The final Extra is the bling. This is once again the Sparkle Dot Essentials. I love these with their extra sparkle, the different colors, and sizes, plus they are flat. Many wins all in one with these embellishments.

My card I have to share today is made from the same template as yesterday. I wanted to show you how different the same base can appear. Having a simple Go To template can be a lifesaver when we need a quick card. Quick does not mean it is not a wonderful card.
Encircled With Love stamp set
The sweet sentiment I chose for this card is one that I love. It is simple, sweet, and says you care about the recipient. To go along with my Valentine idea card, I stamped using Real Red Ink. The hearts in the paper are Real Red, Strawberry Slush and Bubble Bath. This stamp set, Encircled With Love, is in the Annual Catalog in the DVD style case. Now Stampin’ Up! has issued it in the new style cases as well. If you choose the new style, be aware that it is a different product number. The new style case number is 169090.
Made With Love Designer Series Paper
These strips are the same as yesterday’s card and measure 1 X 5. This time I placed the card in landscape layout and used two different patterns from this fun DSP. To center the strips I used my grid paper to place the center one and then came in from each side. I thought I would make a simpler one and leave off the layer behind the strips.
Extras
To create the focal layer I used the 1 3/4′ and 2″ Circle Punches. The 2″ is Strawberry Slush with the stamped image cut with the 1 3/4″. I love circles for a clean and simple card. To add a bit more texture I also used the Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon as I did yesterday. Instead of a small neat bow I went with a large and looser bow behind the sentiment layer. And for my bling Rhinestones were called in. The sentiment has three little star shapes. So a trio of rhinestones, one on each star, seemed the perfect fit.

My card today is using a stamp set that I new I had to have. I created this simple card as soon as I got it in my hands. We all need a hug on a regular basis. And if you love animals, then this one is for you.
STAMPS
This adorable image is from the Hugs & Healing stamp set. As soon as I saw this cuddle between the dog and cat, I was sold! Not all dogs and cats get along this well. I have had a couple that did however. And it is the sweetest. The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with a variety of Stampin’ Blends. They are all listed in the Supply List at the bottom of the post. The stamp set does not have matching Dies. But this was pretty quick to fussy cut.
The sentiment is also from the stamp set. It has some sweet ones that go with each of the images. This sentiment actually says Sending Healing Hugs To You. I did not want the Healing. So I stamped the sentiment, which is two lines, and then cut it apart. Plus the cut apart sentiment sort of goes along with the image I think.
PAPERS
There are a variety of papers used here. I sort of went crazy with the DSP and colors. But I wanted it to look like they were laying on the floor. I began with Pecan Pie cardstock for the base. It matches the pups coloring. Next is the “floor”. This piece came from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper. The “rug” is from the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. (It pays to keep all of your leftover pieces! ) And then another Pecan Pie layer paired with Crumb Cake cardstock for the actual image to lay on.
EXTRAS
The Extras are a mix of dots that I actually had to look up to make sure they were not retired. They were on the Last Chance List. Of course I just looked again as I am writing this post….and they are gone! These are the Ombre Mat Dots in case you happen to have some in your stash. But if you are like me, you have a few embellishments that have colors to match since I used quite a few for the quilt. I am so sorry about this!!
June Suite Sale
This is a super Sweet Suite sale. All Suites and Suite Products are 50% off. So any part of a suite, like a Bundle, or DSP, etc can be 50% off when you purchase one other. The key is to get two of similar price to get the most bang for your buck.

I am mixing old and new again today. Another Stamp Bundle that I loved from convention is going to be Live with the new Online Exclusives on May 6th. (Which is the same day the New Annual Catalog launches!)
STAMP& PUNCHES
This fun cookie jar is from the upcoming Sweet Jar Punch Bundle. I really love punches and this one cuts the cookie jar and the lid. Additionally there are a few different images for inside the jar. It is going to be a year round go to.
The cookie jar was stamped using Basic Beige Ink for the jar. (Sorry my photo got washed out when trying to clean up some things) And the lid was stamped using Blueberry Bliss Ink. I decided on chocolate chip cookies today. Which happens to be one of the images. The cookies are one stamp and the chips are a separate one. So I could have made my favorite, which are sugar cookies!
The sentiment is from the stamp set as well. It is also stamped with Blueberry Bushel. And is on a punch out from the Keeping Tabs Punch. I did this card for my club ladies and most cut the tab in half. I folded it over the two layers.
PAPERS
This paper may look familiar to you. It is one of the sheets from Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper. This is the pack that has oranges and lemons on one side and blue tiles on the other. I have used this paper often and am thrilled to say it is carrying over.
The card base was pulled form the DSP. It is Night of Navy. As a surprise choice, even to me, I went with Misty Moonlight for the layer and the band for the cookie jar. It seemed to work best with the DSP, so who am I to argue.
EXTRAS
There are a few Extras on this card. First is the twine. This is a darker brown, when you can see the true color, to match the cookies. It is the darkest brown in the Naturals baker’s twine multi pack. And for bling, I used the Adhesive-backed Gold Hearts. These are in a few different sizes and are totally flat. Sadly they are on the Last Chance List. So do not hesitate to add these to your next order before it is too late.
DOUBLE REWARDS
Two days only, May 2-3, is Double Rewards. What a way to begin the new Rewards Program! Now is the time to really stock up on some of the Last Chance List. Or items that are Bundled in the Annual Catalog. Even if they are carrying over, they generally are no longer bundled. So you lose that 10% discount. Just food for thought!

This fun title is actually a stamp. The first time I saw it I laughed out loud, and still do when I see it. And that is what I think our cards should do. Maybe not laugh out loud, but bring a smile or happiness to someone. Plus the way I have used it today is another “almost” no stamping card.
STAMPS
This fun sentiment is from the Saying Hey stamp set. Sadly it is on the Last Chance list. But if you do not have it, then it is not sad. It is currently marked down to $15.30. That is a steal for some fun and unusual sentiments. I thought this sentiment was perfect for the frame and the adorable little mouse. (They are only adorable when not real!!!) It is stamped on Basic Beige cardstock to go along with the other softer and antique looking colors. Then I just fussy cut it to keep it small and to fit on the frame.
PAPERS
These papers are once again from the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper and sticker pack. The Wild Wheat background so reminds me of old timey wallpaper! Then the frame is from one of the sheets that has multiple different tags and small size images. As soon as I saw it, I went to the sticker page to see what would work inside the frame. Most of these stickers are the storybook animals. But this mouse seemed just right.. She is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals to help her stand out from the frame
The card base color is pulled from the frame. I chose Flirty Flamingo. Then decided it required a layer between the wallpaper. Basic Beige seemed to go along with the antique as I said regarding the sentiment. So a thin layer breaks up those two darker colors.
EXTRAS
To add bling to this scene I have created was a little difficult. I went through all of my embellishments and most seemed to blend in more than stand out. When I came to the Antique Pearls, they were on my desk and not in the container, I knew these were the bling. They also fit with the antique look. I decided that a trio of them across the top of the frame would be the perfect location.
