Valentine’s Week: I LOVE YOU CARD
Valentine’s Day is only 5 days away…and I thought I’d share with you some Valentine’s Day stamping ideas each day this week!
I think this card is quite adorable and creative. It was stamped by Karen Daley, a member of my team…the INKredible Canadian Stampers. I hosted a Sale-A-Bration swap last week and this was one of the great cards we received in the swap. (In case you didn’t know…a swap is like a cookie exchange…but we use cards! Thankfully, demonstrators don’t always have to come up with ideas ourselves…we definetely find inspiration from others!)
Here are the stamp sets Karen used to create this card:
Jumbo Outline Alphabet (Item #114998) $50.95
AND the "heart" is from the stamp set called Polka Dot Punches from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.
It’s almost time to Sale-A-Brate!

Frienship Blooms meets Build-a-Brad
At my Stamp Club night on Monday, this is one of the projects we made. We used the Frienship Blooms stamp set out of the Sale-A-bration brochure. Did you notice that the stamp set coordinates with the Love & Happiness Rub-ons? I didn’t know before ordering them, but, the rub-ons in this package have 4 different coloured sheets. You’ll find a black, white, old olive and Chocolate Chip.
For this card we used a 6×6 piece of Kraft cardstock and folded it in half. We used a Soft Sky and Very Vanilla layer. The ink colour was Old Olive to match the Old Olive ribbon. We added a Pewter Build-A-Brad in the middle of the cut out flower. I love Build-A-Brad, it really adds that special touch to a card.
Here’s how to Build-A-Brad Works
Step 1: Punch hole in middle of flower. Step 2: Stamp Image on scrap pager and use 1/2" circle punch to punch out theimage that you want in your Build-A-Brad.
Step 3: Add a small amount of Liquid glue or glue dot to middle and add 1/2" punched circle. Step 4: Carefully remove top layer from package ensuring you don’t leave fingerprints on bottom and position on top of circle. Press down firmly to set. 
Step 5: Place brad in punched holes.
Step 6: Flatten out the back of the brad. Voila!!! You now have a lovely Brad.
Can you picture how many different designs you can do with it? I hope you enjoyed the "How to" of Build-A-Brad!
(Card inspired by a swap from Shalon Doxsee)
Have a HAPPY STAMPING DAY! Josee
