Sunburst Thank You

I'm so excited that Stampin Up has released a starburst thinlit! Here's one option--a sunburst square. This card is 4 1/4 x 8 1/2, folded in half. I added a layer of Crumb Cake cardstock at 4 x 4 and doodled around it with my white gel pen. The Sunburst Thinlit cut my Love Blossoms DSP stack perfectly, and I centered it on the layer and then trimmed off the edges.

I really wanted a white sentiment in the center, so I used this "thank you" stamp from Happy Happenings (page 103 in the main catalog) with Versamark ink and white embossing powder. A circle punch and a bit more white doodling, and that's all there is to it!

Sky is the Limit Treat Bag

I love making the Mini Treat Bags! It's so easy with the thinlit set, and they make darling gift card holders. And what a great way to use up that designer paper we've been hoarding! Have to make room for the new stuff, right?

This Treat Bag was a January Stamp Club project using the limited-time Sale-a-bration set Sky Is the Limit. It's a great set for any occasion and includes a happy birthday, congratulations, and the sky is the limit sentiment, along with the one shown above.

Bloomin Love Valentine

This 4x4 Kraft cardstock card base has been sitting on my stamp table for a few months. I couldn't make it work at Christmas time, so I set it aside for "later." I'm happy to report that "later" is here, and this Valentine's Day card came together so easily!

The background paper is from the Love Blossoms DSP stack, which is full of wonderful prints! Can you see the bit of Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper??? I'm addicted to that gorgeous stuff, and I'll be ordering more soon! The banner and saying are from the Bloomin Hearts set, which coordinates with the Bloomin Hearts dies (only the small flower shown here). I had to hand cut the banner, but you don't need to! The Large Numbers Framelits set contains a die designed to match!
