Hey there! Earlier this week I received my monthly packet of swaps. It took me about a day and a half to find the time to open it, but when I did I was not disappointed! Today I'm going to share the valentines that were in the packet. Next Sunday I will share some of the other fantastic swaps that were in there, but for today here goes:

First, a really sweet and simple one from Barb Dykhouse. Barb tore a piece of paper, then laid it on the Whisper White layer and sponged ever-so-gently with Smoky Slate ink. She stamped the tree branch from Take Care next, then stamped and punched out the little hearts from the Language of Love set with the Small Heart punch. She then added the "heartstrings" with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. LOVE it!

This was another swap I received at Leadership by Michelle Suit. Michelle used the Love You to the Moon stamp set, pairing it with Fresh Prints Designer Paper and the On Film Framelits. The tiny hearts were punched with the Owl Builder Punch! Cute!

Karen Kurz created this one with the Perfect Pennants stamp set, Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Folder, and Envelope Punch Board. She punched the seemingly dozens of hearts with the Small Heart punch from Silver Glimmer, Champagne Glimmer, and Red Glimmer Paper. The Soft Sky heart in the background was punched with the Full Heart Punch.

I swapped with Linda Wright at Leadership for this one! Real Red cardstock, Fresh Prints DSP, Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim, Petite Petals stamps and punch and Labels Collection Framelits combine to create a quick and perky valentine!

Katy Simecka used the Flowerful Heart wood-only stamp (still available unti February 14th!) with Retro Fresh Designer Paper, Coastal Cabana Ruffle Stretch Trim, and a banner from the Perfect Pennants set for her valentine offering.

Tamie Ackerson used the free SAB set, Banner Blast with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder and a Delightful Dozen greeting. She added a Red Glimmer Small Heart for her finishing touch!

Last but definitely not least, Ruth Bingle used Whisper White Cardstock Vellum over the "love" stamp from Best of Love (still available until March 31st) to give a frosted, elegant look! I also love the crisp textured look of the wavy Fresh Prints paper under the Whisper White Small Heart-punched layer. Ruth added a litle bit of Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon tied in a bow. Simply perfect!!!!!

That's all for now. It's not too late to order Valentine stamps! To shop and place your order (and choose a free Sale-a-bration item when your merchandise total reaches $50!) click HERE to go to my Online Store.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
