Follow Your Heart

This is going to be another busy week.  Luckily I had time this weekend to make the cards I needed for this month's Stampin' Up card swap.  They are due this Thursday so again I am waaay early - LOL.  This month's theme is Soft Subtles.  There are 9 people in our exchange.  I made 10 of these because I like even numbers.

Since this is for my Stampin' Up swap - all of the supplies are Stampin' Up.  I used the polka dot embossing folder on vellum paper for the top half of the card.  I also used a layer of vellum paper over the sentiment to create a little heart shaped window.  The stamp set is retired but I love it and it fit perfectly in my heart window.

Supplies
Stamps: SU Whimsical Words
Paper: so saffron, rose red, certainly celery, shimmery white
Ink:  chocolate chip
Accessories:  polka dot embossing folder, eyelet border punch, small heart punch, hearts set Sizzlits

I'm including this in the following challenges:

Stampin B's - Old / New
Old - Eyelet Border Punch & Polka Dot Embossing Folder

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card!

Happy New Year's Eve!  Today's project is this Celebrating Love card.  I made it for this week's Stampin B's Challenge - #91 Make a Celebration Card.  For the color combo I used this week's Colour Q combo CQC#65.  The layout is from this week's Sweet Stop Sketch SSS88.  Today's Free 4 All Challenge (F4A45) at SCS is to celebrate those resolutions.  I can't really think of a better resolution than to Celebrate Love in 2011.

The stamp set I used is from Whimsy Stamps (Love Letter Seals).  I won this set from their blog hop earlier this month and was so excited to get a chance to use it.  The middle of the seal says 

"And now these three remain:

faith, hope, and love

but the greatest of these is LOVE."

Special Thanks to Whimsy for this great stamp set! 

 

Wishing you and yours a Very Blessed & Happy New Year!
