Oh WOW! I am SO EXCITED to show you these samples today! They are some of my absolute favorites!

This first one uses the SAB set, "Punch Bunch" (free with a $50 order until March 31st!), the Two-Step Owl Punch, Heart to Heart Punch, "Got Treats" set from page 55 of the Idea Book & Catalog, Cherry Cobbler & Very Vanilla ink & cardstock, and Cherry Cobbler Designer Paper from the Regals Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack on page 175! This little owl-y guy really "pops" for me!

I'm dying to make this "snow cupid", but I don't know if I will get a chance! Isn't he adorable? The "Be My Valentine" halo is from the "Be My Valentine" wood-mount single stamp from the back page of the Occasions mini catalog. At only $8.95, it's a gorgeous stamp for the price! His arms are made with the Snowflake Punch, the hearts are with the Small Heart Punch, and his nose with a petal from the Flower, Daisies #2 Die and the Big Shot!

This next card is the perfect rendition of how I imagined these flamingos should be! These loving birds are found in the "Valentine Defined" stamp set in the Occasions Mini. as is the "love" which has been punched with the Modern Label punch. Both the "Framed Tulips" (Occasions Mini) and the "Square Lattice" Textured Impressions Folders were used on this card, along with 1/8" Real Red Taffeta Ribbon!

Here's these cute little owl guys again, only this time they are punched entirely from cardstock, but the "Valentine Defined" set was used again for the greeting and the wire they are sitting on. The creator of this card also used the "Pinking Hearts" Border Punch and 5/8" Real Red Satin Ribbon to finish this masterpiece!

Last-but-not-least for today, this elegant valentine uses the "amour" from "Artistic Etchings" on page 125 to highlight the Red Glimmer paper Full Heart punch on top of a distressed Decorative Label. Real Red, Crumb Cake, & Early Espresso are the colors used, along with the "Vintage Wallpaper" and "Perfect Polka Dots" Textured Impressions Folders and the "Scallop Squares Duo" Die (a carryover from the Holiday Mini with the Big Shot. The fun thing about the "Vintage Wallpaper" folder is that the negative side of the folder was brayered with Early Espresso ink before the paper was inseted, giving the design a bolder, yet more distressed look!

So what do you think? Do these samples make you want to stamp or what? I'm thinking of heading up to my Stampin' Studio and getting my fingers inky!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!
