Weekly Challenge – Page 12 – Stampin' With Candice

Stampin’ Sunday 2-15-09

Today I decided to share the projects that we did at club this month. They were all centered around the wonderful Sale-A-Brations Sets. We also used the technique that I showed on Technique Tuesday February 3rd. You can check out all the details there.

Swapping Saturday 2-14-09

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today I thought I would share some of the other Valentine’s Day cards that I’ve made or gotten from swaps. Hope you enjoy. Here are just 2. You can click here to see more.

I really like this card. I love how she used the hearts for balloons. This card was created by Naomi Keeling. You can check out more of her stuff at: www.stampwithnaomi.blogspot.com

This beautiful card was created by Kimberly Anderson. I think it was for my big shot swap. Check out all the beautiful detail. What I love about this card is it’s all the big shot so it looks complicated but the cutting part was easy.

Here’s a close up of the bird and flowers. I love the glitter.

Freewheeling Friday 2-13-09

Today was Friday the 13th, but for me it’s usually a good day. Once again that proved to be true. Today I was able to go to the shoebox swap that my up-line Brandi was having. I love it when I can get together with other demonstrators and Stamp. It’s so much fun to visit and get new ideas.

This was one of the 19 cards we got to make. I loved how we used the roller on the flower from the pretties kit. What fun. I also love all the texture in the card. (Texture plates on card-stock and textured DSP.) I think the project was created by Becky.

Thrifty Thursday 2-12-09

Today we had to make lots of Valentine’s for my son’s classes. So we decided to make the same fun project. My son, Mikey had a lot of fun helping to make them. Then we put them in bags so the candy would stay in when he gave them out. I love making the Valentine’s because they get something fun and different.

It was also nice because one of my other sons told me last minute that he need some as well. He’s in middle school so I didn’t think he needed them. Thankfully I had extra Candy and Paper already so it was easy to make more for him. Once again Stampin’ Up!© saves the day.

Wacky Wednesday 2-11-09

So today was club and I decided to make each member a cute little Valentine. The projects we were making would take a bit of time so this time I made this little gift for each of them before hand. I hope the know how much I appreciate each of them.

This is a sample that we made for one of my parties. They loved it. The heart is made using the Big Shot Petal Card and folding up the two bottom ones to make a pocket. I saw this idea at leadership and loved it.

Colors- Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette
