Loads of Love

Lately I have been all shabby chic, all the time.  But I wanted to get back to basics, make a clean and simple Valentine card.  I pulled out my Loads of Love stamps from Stampin' Up, which I bought 2nd hand from a former consultant.  I have always wanted this set but it was down on my wish list so I never got to it.  I thought it would be great to bring this set back by using it in a more trendy way than before.

I used a white card, stamped the truck in black, stamped the hearts in red, stamped some extra hearts to cut out, used some glitter glue on one heart, then tied some twine around it.  Voila! I love the simplicity of this card.  I can't wait to play with this set some more, finding new ways to make it current.  Are there any old stamp sets you would like to revive?

Supplies:

White cardstock - stash
Black Ink - Distress Ink Black Soot
Red Ink - Distress Ink Fired Brick
Glitter Glue - Studio G
Black and White twine - from stash

Tag You're It!

Here is a tag wall hanging that I made my mom for her birthday. It started as a single tag for a birthday card but turned into something more.

I loved using fun background stamps on each, inking, blending, and dripping water. I also loved using the white rub-ons from American Crafts, and collage images from Gecko Galz.

This was entered into a challenge at Gecko Galz and I am linking it to a giveaway at Paper Issues.

A Note for Teacher

I decided to make some teacher gifts for my daughter's teacher, and found this idea on Momenta's Blog. I had some scraps left from a big project so these were perfect.

I am linking this to the Paper Issues Blog Hop which has a back to school theme.

Happy Scrappy Savings!
