10 Handmade Card Ideas to Say “I Love You”

Mom’s Kitchen stamps and dies + In Stitches: Adorable Apron dies + Seasoned with Love Sentiments stamps

Project Inspiration: Springtime Blessings Card by Brenda Noelke

Sneak Peek Day 3

January 7, 2013      Nichole Heady      21 Comments

Let me share a little bit more of what's to come this month!

Sneak-peek-5
A new folk art styled set is joining the Papertrey line-up this month, full of endless creative possibilities.  It includes outlined images as well as multi-step solid images that you can mix with the outlines or use alone.  So you can stretch your coloring skills or go the quick and easy route with solid stamps without sacrificing color options!  The sentiments have just a touch of that folk art look as well, which really brings a project together!

Sneak-peek-6
Dawn McVey certainly has a way with words and her new little $5 set of happy phrases definitely does not disappoint!  The gorgeous fonts will complement a variety of projects!

    Sigh…. want, want, want…. I can see the folk art stamp in many ways…. even with some sequins filling in part of them. Makes me think of some designs from India I’ve seen.
