Stylin' Stampin' Up! Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stylin' Stampin' Up! Blog Hop for February 2012!

Take it to Heart for Valentine's Day

Here I used the gate fold so I could interlock my hearts.  This card is elegant enough to use as a wedding card. (Which is a quote from one of my downline.)   The Hearts Collection Framelits Die is so fun.    Just tie a little of our SAB Organdy Ribbon on one of  the hearts to add more elegance. 

Wonderful You

This card shows how lovely the 3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon is.   Here I used the Blushing Bride ribbon and Smooch Spritz.  I love how the Smooch Spritz also colors the new Pearls.    And what is better than being able to make a doily out of any color you want?

Inspire Heart Card

I took the colors from the Twitterpated DSP and used them as the inspiration for this card.   Anyone would love to receive this card in the mail.

Our Large Pearl Jewels add a wonderful touch of elegance to any card.

 

Elegant Glimmer Bird

What did we do before the glimmer paper?  If you want to add glitz just grab our Silver or Red glimmer paper.    I would love several of these flying around my stamping studio.   I used our new Elegant Bird die from the Occasions Mini.  I learned a good lesson putting this bird together.  Because the glimmer paper is only one sided, remember to run one through with the glimmer side up and one through with the glimmer side down.   And also running more than one through at a time causes the folded part of the wing to cut all of the way through on one of them.  So run one through at a time.  

Here you can see I used an Everyday Enchantment Brad for the eye and the 1/8" Organdy Ribbon in Calypso Coral to hang the bird.
