Stampin' Up Valentine's Day projects using More Amore DSP and more!

 

Colors on the card are Primrose Petals, Real Red, Pool Party, and Very Vanilla.  I used More Amore DSP, Real Red Core'dinations cardstock, and Pool Party and Very Vanilla cardstock.  You can't see it well, but I ran the Red Core'dinations paper through the Honeycomb embossing folder then sanded it.  The "Love" came from the You Are Loved stamp set; I colored it with Real Red, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, and Island Indigo markers.  Finally, I added some Pool Party ruffled ribbon and a great flower from the Flower Trim ribbon in the current Spring Mini Catalog.  I dyed it with a sponge and Pool Party classic ink.



 

 This Valentine treat was made with the Valentine bundle Stampin' Up offered last month.  I put peanut M&M's in the 1x8 cello bag then topped it some hearts.  I stamped the "happy valentine's day" in VersaMark then used Melon Mambo embossing powder on it and cut it out using the Full Heart Punch.  Then I layered that onto a heart I cut out using the Scalloped Heart Embosslit and finally I layered that onto a heart that I die cut using a Heart Framelit.  I ran the biggest heart through the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Valentine's Day!

PS:  Thanks Kadie for the photo upload help; it seems to be working for now - why does Blogger change things, and not for the better!

HELP needed - why can't I get my png or jpeg or gif files to upload?

Hi everyone, I'm needing some help! I've been trying for the last couple of days to upload some images and Blogger keeps kicking them out, saying "server returned invalid response".  Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong.  I used to be able to bypass this by going into HTML mode, but now the image upload has changed and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong when I try to upload a photo.   I've converted files to jpeg, to png, and to gif and nothing seems to work!

I know everyone's busy nowadays, but if you can let me know what I need to do, I'd appreciate your help!!  Thanks

Stampin' Up Valentine's Day frog card and Greeting Card Kids ornament

Here's an example of a masculine Valentine's Day card made by Stacey M, Executive Assistant at Stampin' Up, find the blog post here.  Unfortunately she didnt' give details of the supplies she used, but I think the idea of a frog valentine is great for little boys!

And here's an example of a very feminine Valentine's Day ornament I made for my niece last year. I still really love it and I hope it inspires you to make something cute and fun this week. The original post is here.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
