Love Impressions – Carol Payne Stamps

Valentine Week Concludes!

Posted on February 4, 2011 by Carol Payne

Lots of fun valentine samples to squeeze in here today, so let's get started!

The top left valentine uses "Valentine Defined" again, while the "Full Heart/Scalloped Heart of Hearts" card on the right almost disappears into the background, but would be striking off the board! The bottom left uses "Love Impressions" Specialty Designer Paper, along with Red Glimmer Paper and the Heart to Heart Punch.

The bottom left card uses "Springtime Vintage" Designer Paper, "Be My Valentine", and "Framed Tulips" Textured Impressions Folder, all from the Occasions Mini, and the top right was made with "Greeting Card Kids", "First Edition" Designer Paper, and Basic Black 1 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon!

These next two cards both use "I (Heart) Hearts" from page 46 of the Idea Book & Catalog!

THIS sample I know the creator, my good friend, Meg Wheeler! She used "Love Letter" Designer Paper (pg 173 of the IB &C)with Real Red 1/8" Taffeta ribbon and Vanilla Rosettes from the Occasions Mini! This would make a perfect little co-worker or teacher gift!

Traditional valentine here! This one uses the "Delight in Gladness" & "Pleasing Polka Dots" Builder wheels from pg 23 of the Occasions Mini along with Full Hearts and Red Glimmer Paper!

And lastly, this card could fit many occasions, not just Valentine's Day! The brackets and heart are cut from the "Hearts & Brackets" Originals Die on page 213 of the IB & C, and "You're in MY thoughts, you're in my heart" is from Word Play, on page 147!

Well, Valentine week is now over, and I'm a little sad, I've enjoyed collecting up all these fun valentine samples to show you every day. But don't worry, I'll be back next week with more fun stuff to show you!

Have a great weekend, get your fingers inky, (tonight I have my Punch Class/Club ladies coming!) and have a "Stampingrox!" day!

More Valentines!

I'm back today with more Valentine ideas from Leadership!

This fun box uses the Fancy Favor Die with the Big Shot, found on pages 204 & 208 of the Idea Book & Catalog, with "Love Impressions" Specialty Designer Paper and Red Glimmer Paper from the Occasions Mini. The arrow behind the heart is a "Game Spinner Hand" found on page 10 of the Occasions Mini!

Full Heart & Small Heart punches were also used.

This card was made entirely with the "Valentine Defined" stamp set from page of the Occasions Mini. Colors used were Real Red, Whisper White, and Blushing Bride.

This adorable Valentine Bear was made with the "Bear Bigz Die", "Beary Essentials Bigz Die", "Beary Girl Sizzlet Die", & the Big Shot! The Top Note Die, Square Lattice & Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folders give this card dimension. Colors used are Cherry Cobbler, Blushing Bride, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso. The "Scalloped Heart of Hearts" Embosslit Die, Word Window punch and Teeny Tiny Wishes (happy valentine's day) were used for the greeting.

Another on-stage sample from Shelli used the "Valentine Defined" stamp set! I love the way she used a cut-in-half "Decorative Label" punch to frame the tree image. You can find the Decorative Label punch, a carry-over from the Holiday MIni, on page 30 of the Occasions Mini catalog!

Until tomorrow, (and you are going to LOVE the samples tomorrow!), have a "Stampingrox!" day!
