I saw this card by mum_of_2_2 on SCS and had to CASE it!  I love the colors and how she spolighted that sweet dancing bear from Under the Big Top stamp set.  The sentiment is from a retired set.  A Texturz plate was used to emboss the Perfect Plum card stock.  Elegant Eggplant, Blushing Bride, and Whisper White card stock were also used.  The dancing bear was colored with Watercolor Wonder crayons on watercolor paper.  Can you see the Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the folds of her tutu?

This stamp set, You're My Type, in the new Occasions mini catalog is one I really like.  It may not seem so versatile at first glance, but I see lots of possibilities with it.  This card is made with Pool Party and Island Indigo card stock, two of the current In Colors from Stampin' Up.  Lucky Limeade Classic ink, another In Color, was used to create the Rolling Marble background.  The heart was embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder then punched with the Heart to Heart punch.

I can't really complain about our weather this winter.  It's been rainy and wet but we haven't had much snow or ice.  Yet, the dreary sky made me wish for spring so I chose pastels for this card -- Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, and Whisper White.  The polka dots are not ribbon or DSP but were stamped in Whisper White craft ink on Certainly Celery card stock.  The flower was cut and embossed with a retired Embosslit, the leaves cut with the Little Leaves Sizzlit, and the lace with the Eyelet border punch.  The center of the flower is a rhinestone brad.  The greeting is from the Short and Sweet set.  Card design CASEd from one posted to SCS by bon2stamp.

I just love it when a quick and simple card is so pretty!  This one has a Poppy Parade card base and Everyday Enchantment DSP from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog.  (You can get this DSP free with a $50 purchase!)  The window was cut with the new heart Framelits in the Occasions mini catalog and the little heart was punched from the Heart to Heart punch.  A little rhinestone was added to the little heart to give it some bling.  The sentiment was stamped on the inside of the card in Basic Black and is from the Short and Sweet set.

This vintage style Valentine was made with Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White card stock, water color paper, Lots of Love letterpress plate, Paper Doily Sizzlit die, Coluzzle cutting system, Greeting Card Kids stamp set, Watercolor Wonder crayons, VersaMark ink, and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details.

This card features the Take It to Heart stamp set from the new Occasions mini catalog stamped on watercolor paper in StazOn black ink.  The image was colored with Watercolor Wonder crayons.  The heart shapes were cut with the new Framelits also in the Occasions mini.  The Bashful Blue heart was embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder and the Pretty in Pink card base was embossed in the Framed Tulips folder.
