How is it February already, especially when January seemed to last forever? Nevertheless, here it is and I’ll be squeezing in a few more Valentine’s card in the coming days before I mail them.

I hope you’ll indulge me in one more Valentine card using The Greetery’s Love & Cookies stamps and dies. After this one, I’m done baking (making) these cute little cookies! I like making these because I can usually count on them turning out just right. Whereas, for me, that’s not always the case with baking edible cookies!

Love & Cookies Valentine Card

, , , , ,
Comments: 5

Love and cookies are almost synonymous in my opinion. Who doesn’t love cookies? Who hasn’t baked cookies as an expression of love. And I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Girl Scout Cookie season is around Valentine’s Day. So with this in mind, I created this sweet Valentine card.

I used lots of products from my stash here. The main characters are The Greetery’s Love and Cookies stamps and dies. The background is Lawn Fawn’s Polka Heart Backdrop die. I used a heart die strip on the inside and the envelope flap called Tiny Cuts from Neat & Tangled.

I’m playing along with The Paper Players sketch challenge…

Stitch-y Birthday Fun Fold Card

Comments: 10

I’m sharing Jeanie Stark’s weekly Mystery Fun Fold card called a Double Panel Flap Fun Fold (quite a mouthful!).

I’m sure I mentioned it before, but I absolutely love to cross-stitch. I’ve been cross-stitching since 1980, even before I was married. I totally relax when I’m stitching. That’s not to say that paper crafting doesn’t provide relaxation but it’s just so easy to sit down and pick up my needle and stitch while sitting in my favorite chair with sweet Hazel on my lap. So, today I’m combining two of my favorite hobbies with this pretty birthday card for a stitching friend. Do you have any other favorite hobbies beside paper crafting?

Much of the heavy lifting here was taken care of by the awesome Paper Rose Embroidery 6 x 6 paper collection. The stitched sentiment and the embroidery hoop are from Neat & Tangled Hand Stitched stamps and dies. Neat & Tangled is another stamp company that’s no longer in business but one that I’ll still be using their wonderful products. I have such fond memories of taking card making classes with my friends given by Danielle at Neat & Tangled.

So let’s take a look at what makes this card a Double Panel Flap Fun Fold…

You saw the front of the card above and here’s the first panel you open to…all the elements on this panel were cut from the paper collection.

And the next flap…

The sentiment is from a Gina K stamp set. Gina K always has the best sentiment fonts!

I really enjoyed making this card with a stitch theme. You can get all the dimensions and details HERE on Jeanie’s blog. It’s a lot of fun playing along each week and discovering new folds.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you have a good weekend and if you are in the path of the BIG storm that you’ll stay safe and cozy enjoying your favorite hobby or hobbies.

Take care,
Rosanne

Flurry of Fun – PP769

As we’re getting ready for a BIG (?) snowstorm this weekend, I was having a good time creating this fun winter card.

Today’s card features a cute stamp set from My Favorite Things stamp company called Snow Buddies. Although, MFT is no longer in business, their stamps remain favorites of mine. I used one of my favorite techniques, paper piecing on the coat, hat and scarf as well as the dog’s scarf. These were all cut from Lawn Fawn patterned paper.

I’m playing along with The Paper Players “Winter Fun” challenge HERE.

Thanks for stopping by,
