Change of address, make the switch!

Hello stampers,

As you have noticed, life is getting busier for me, so in order to take a break, I'll be closing this blog .

However, part of the spirit of Stampin' Up! is to share what we love to do, so I'll keep doing that, but on my Stampin' Up! website blog, Creativeheart. Feel free to subscribe to the feed and get a notification each time I post something new, and you can keep leaving your comments there too. Don't forget to save it in your favourites, so you can find it quickly ;)

Happy Valentine's Day

These are Julian's Valentine cards for his school friends.  I had the idea of making a red card, and I did want to use the Pinking Hearts border punch... but as the night went on, while we were at Sue's house, and after a couple of tea cups... I got feedback and suggestions from my fellow Divas that were present at the moment, and this is the end result of such great team work:

 

Nothing complicated, just simple and straight forward... I thought it would take days for Julian to write all the 18 names, but he was fast, and he had fun writing his name 18 times, I had to keep telling him that his name was needed so the person that gets the card knows from whom it is... :D

Ingredients: Card stock: Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Basic Black (for heart). Ink: Early Espresso. Scallop circle punch, Heart Small punch. Big Shot: Two Tags die. Fine Galaxy Red glitter.

Feliz dia del amor y la amistad,
