valentines-tickets-stampwithtamiPart 6 in my series of Valentines Day cards is a sweet design, Valentines Tickets using the Take a Ticket wheel #126941 and That's the Ticket stamp set. Both of these stamp sets coordinate with the Ticket Duo punch #126883. This card is from my friend Jackie Ross.

CARD: Word Play Valentines – Part V

wordplay-leadership-stampwithtamiPart 5 in my Valentines Day card series is from the Word Play stamp set. The words says "You're in my thoughts, you're in my heart" and for some reason I always want to sing this to the tune of Rod Stewart's "You're in my heart..." LOL! Sorry the photo quality isn't better, this was a display at Stampin' Up!'s Leadership event last month.

The technique is the chalkboard technique, and you can catch my video tutorial on this technique for details.

MDS: A Blizzard Named Nemo

2013-02 Blizzard-nemo-stampwithtami--1
Remember that "little" snowstorm I mentioned yesterday?!? Well turns out, the weathermen were right! We got hit with a couple feet of snow, and lots of blustery wind (still have that wind)...all from a "little" Blizzard called Nemo lol. As you can see from the pictures, we found Nemo. The image above is my back deck before we went to bed last night (lower) and at 7:45 a.m. this morning (upper)!! Holy snow Batman!!!

It was actually a fun storm, we didn't lose power this time (praise God) and I stamped a lot (see video from yesterday). The photos below are more shots of my deck while it was still snowing. It only stopped being fun when the snowblower didn't work and the kids and I had to shovel. We are grateful for short driveways, and a kind-hearted neighbor who helped us tackle the "plow mountains" at the end with his snowblower.

I had some fun with the My Digital Studio - Downtown Grunge photobook template for these, saved them as jpegs.

VIDEO TUTORIAL: Artisan Embellished Love & Dying Flowers

stampwithtami-artisan embellished love-setThe weathermen are predicting an "epic" blizzard today in New England. They've even named it...Nemo...when did they start naming snow storms?? Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel is even here in Boston, that about says it all lol. You know it's going to be bad if Jim is here. I think it's the perfect time to hunker down and stamp! And today's video is one of my "stamping storm" creations. I had some fun with my Artisan Embellishments Kit #129328 & Flower Trim #126869 from the Spring catalog.

This beautiful card idea is great for Valentines day, Wedding, Shower or an elegant birthday. It's gorgeous plain, and it's eye popping with the flowers dyed red. In the video show you how to dye the flowers from the Flower Trim to get this deep, rich color with ink refills. As well as a "cleaner - quicker" stampin' write marker trick (for those afraid to get a little ink on your fingers hehehe).

CARD: Hearts a Flutter Valentine Part II

Stampin Up! Hearts a Flutter Valentine card Part 2 in my series of Valentines Day cards also comes from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set / framelit bundle. So pretty in tones of Rose Red, with a touch of Pool Party (embossed heart). The flower from the flower trim was dyed for the pretty pink color.

CARD: Bloomin’ Marvelous beauty

sab-bloomin marvelous-esther villasanaThe Sale a Bration Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set (free with $50 orders thru March 31) is fast becoming one of my favorites! It's such a pretty set.

Then the bird and flower images are embossed over it. Gorgeous!! Created by my friend, Esther Villasana.

VIDEO TUTORIAL: Chalkboard Technique Valentine

hearts a flutter chalk board-stampwithtamiLast night a few gals from my demonstrator group came over and stamped! We had so much fun, we each brought a project for everyone else to make. We call it a "Shoebox Swap", only because we put the project supplies in boxes like shoeboxes, not because we are swapping shoeboxes hahaha. This is a picture of us below.

Today's video was one of the "shoebox" projects, brought by my friend Kathie Rotti. We will be "kickin' it old school" creating this fun and super "hot" chalkboard technique Valentine's Day card.

CARD: Swallowtail Butterfly Beauty

spring-swallowtail-celeste reising-7Today's gorgeous card is from the new Swallowtail Butterfly stamp in the Spring Catalog. This is such a beautiful stamp image, everything in it is gorgeous, and this card is exceptionally striking. Simple too. It is heat embossed in black for the rich color, then colored with coordinating Stampin' Write markers to match the card stock. The color coordination brings the elements on this card come together for a real "WOW".

Created by Celeste Reising.

 

CARD: Feel Goods with Laughter

spring cat-feels good-diane giarrussoThis is a "feel good" card, much like the stamp set used on it, Feel Goods from the new Spring Catalog. The saying is "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people - Victor Borge".

I think the designer paper really makes this card stand out, it's the Birds of a Feather DSP in the annual catalog.

Created by Diane Giarrusso of Diane Stamps.

CARD: Hearts a Flutter – More Amore

hearts a flutter-stampwithtamiI received this card from my up-upline Cherie Manderschied. She always sends the best cards:) This one is great because it's simply, easy, versatile...yet stunning. Qualities I look for when creating a card.

This is a great collaboration of the new Spring Catalog, along with some Sale-a-Bration sprinkled in. The More Amore Specialty Designer paper & Hearts a Flutter framelites from the Spring catalog are the focal point, while the Vine Street SAB impressions folder adds a pop.

CARD: SAB Bloomin’ Marvelous Card

sab-bloomin marvelous-jennifer bainHere is a beautiful card using many of the new Sale a Bration free products including the Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set, Vine Street Impressions Folder and Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack. This card was designed by Jennifer Bain.
