January Stamp-a-Stack

Okay, I wanted to get my January Stamp-a-Stack post done while it was still January!! Does anyone else feel like this first month of the year went by too fast. Well, I've already held one of my February on Tuesday and I'm still trying to get my January post up.

Most of these cards are for Valentine's Day which are always fun to make. The first one is from the Christmas shoebox swap I attended. I think it was designed by Lynn Luetkemeyer. Thanks, Lynn, for a great card that I could use at my class -- what a time saver!

Supplies:
Stamps: Love You Much
Paper: Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay & Basic Black
Ink: Basic Black, Markers (Old Olive, Bermuda Bay & Melon Mambo)
Accessories: Melon Mambo Ribbon and Stampin' Dimensionals

This next card I found here. It was so simple yet looked elegant using the Sending Loving Specialty Designer Series Paper. I love the glitter on the paper!

Supplies:
Stamps: Love You Much
Paper: Whisper White; Real Red; Pretty in Pink; Sending Loving Specialty DSP
Ink: Real Red
Accessories: Ticket Corner Punch, White Taffeta Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

The inspiration for my next card came from Gretchen. Check out her blog here. The card was easy to make but I added a WOW when opened (I gave it a little pop, Gretchen!). I used the new heart embossing die. I love new toys!

Here is what it looks like open.

Supplies:
Stamps: I {heart} Hearts; Whimsical Words
Paper: Whisper White; Real Red; Pretty in Pink; Sending Loving Specialty DSP
Ink: Real Red
Accessories: Pretty in Pink Grosgrain Ribbon, Heart Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals

My final card for January was not a Valentine card. I used the With All My Heart stamp set from the Occasions Mini. My inspiration came from Sarah Klasing who is a wonderful demo from our group Gateway Glitter 'n Ink. You can see her original card in my January 7 post. I love the new clear-mounted stamps. What about you?

Thanks for continuing to stop by to see if I've posted. I'll try to stay in contact more, LOL!!!
