Heart Happiness

Happy Birthday to my dear friend Joann.  Unfortunately I don’t get to celebrate with her this year as she passed away about a year and a half ago.  I sure do hate cancer!

She is definitely missed but never forgotten.  I think of her today as we head up to Breckenridge in the Rocky Mountains for a week at our time share.  Joann and her husband used to always come with us and we had some pretty good times.  Skiing, dining out, and just hanging out.  Here’s a picture of the two of us up in Breck doing what we do best:  just hanging out!  🙂

Cheers to you Joann!

This card is made with the Heart Happiness stamp set and is actually one of the very first cards I made using a stamp set from the 2018 Occasions Catalog!  Of course I used the new Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers to color the heart.  The sentiment is from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set.  Simple, yet elegant….my favorite type of card!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!  I’ll try to stay in touch next week although I might be quite busy doing not much of anything!  🙂

Yikes!  It’s almost February and I’ve hardly showed you any valentine cards!  I better get on that!

This is a favorite of mine from my last class and it was a favorite in the class to.  So simple.  So striking.  You can’t go wrong with that black and red color combination.

The Heart Happiness stamp set (pg 20 in the Occasions Catalog) is a very versatile stamp set of mostly all hearts.  There is one tiny leaf stamp and one small flower stamp by the flower stamp will fit perfectly in one of the Sweet & Sassy Heart Framelits.  In fact, six of the heart stamps will fit in some of the Sweet & Sassy Heart Framelits and two others will fit in heart framelits from the Lots to Love Box Framelits!  Woo Hoo!

I’ve also used a number of items from the Petal Passion Suite found on pages 22-23 of the Occasions Catalog.  I LOVE this suite.  That black and white paper and that stamp set just call to me!  The die I used on the label also from this suite.  Love, love, love it!

Speaking of the label….did you notice that the rhinestones on it are red?  I used my Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends marker to color them!  Isn’t that fun!  You can color many things with these versatile alcohol markers.  Have you tried them yet?

Do you have a favorite suite or item from the new Occasions Catalog? Leave a comment and let me know.  I’d love to know what you think.
