Hello Fellow Stampers ~~
Yikes! Still struggling to get my arms wrapped around what I wanted to accomplish this week! And now we're full under another snowstorm here in Littleton, Ken Caryl, Colorado. Expecting close to another foot of snow; I hope not!!! Yuck!
So, while we stay snug as bugs in the Studio, I'm here to share some more creative fun with you today before we leave the Valentine's week too far behind us!! But before I do that, let's just review our "weekly round up" of going's on at Stampin' Up!

On the 5th of February, we held the Annual DDS Studios Valentine Class - we were a small contingent; but we had a wonderful afternoon of Valentine fun!!
And it's time to share those projects with you!!
This fun card showcases the new "smooshing" technique for an easy and fun watercolor background.
This card will be the focus of our next Class With Wendy tutorial video - so stay tuned!!!
This fun bright card showcases an easy emboss-resist watercolor technique. I love the color combination of Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Flirty Flamingo, and Daffodil Delight on this card!!
This sweet Valentine showcases the new Gingham Embossing Folder for the background; and a sweet color combination of Real Red, Blushing Bride and Hyland Heather.
No craft session can be complete without a Fun Fold card, right?? LOL
Not only does this "angled" card-in-a-card fun fold showcase the pretty Sweet Talk DSP, but also puts the Ombre Specialty Paper front and center for a gorgeous glimmer and shimmer.
Opening the pretty top flap gives you a first peek to the inside of the card.
Lifting the angled flap gives you a full view of the pretty message set against the Sale-a-Bration Simply Marbelous designer series paper in the background.
This "offset" shadow card replicates the design I featured in this POST - but with a twist.
I used the absolutely stunningly gorgeous Pool Party paper in the Supple Shimmer Specialty Paper pack as a "peek-a-boo" in the heart cut out from the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder; then offset the cut out heart, added the smaller die cut heart and flowers/leaves; finished with the simple sentiment stamped in Pool Party classic ink. And finished off with Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels and the Pool Party 3/8" Sheer Ribbon, this card is beyond "pure elegance." You can't beat a "white-on-white" monochrome with just a soft addition of color!!
Our final project of the day was simple, sweet & fun!! LOL
We wrapped the Sweet Little Boxes with a simple Expressions In Ink specialty designer series paper wrap; added a luscious White Frayed Ribbon tied bow, and a shimmery glimmer Supple Shimmer heart tag. Then wrapped up a bunch of little Hershey Nuggets in their pretty Sweet Talk paper wrappers, and popped them inside. The perfect sweet treat to end our day together!!
I hope you've had some fun with me today! And that you have all sorts of fun ideas for your stash of "love notes."
We'll be back later with more late Valentine fun!
I Love to hear from you. Leave your questions or comments below!!
Hugs, . . .
