love knots stamp for a Valentine's layout in July!

Since I don't scrapbook in chronological order, it's not unusual for me that I'm doing a V day layout. For some of you, I may seem crazy. This is the card that my boyfriend sent with my flowers from Valentine's day this year.

I wanted to use the Love Knots stamp with this layout. I stamped with tin can silver ink from Prima chalk ink onto black cardstock. Isn't it pretty?

Ticket To My Heart

I have been finding lots of inspiration from the Admission Is Free collection from Gel-A-Tins Stamps.  It is such a versatile set with some cute sentiments to go along with the great ticket stamps.

This simple card is perfect for any day!  Just pop it into your child's lunchbox or leave for hubby in his card.  Such a sweet reminder of how much they mean to you.

Love is all around!

Does love put you all in a spin?.  These super fun 'Sweet Heart' Clear stamps certainly got me spinning around.  I used the circular 'Love' with some Amy Tangarine paper from the 'Sketchbook' pad and topped it off with some ribbon and a flower.

Love Is Like A Butterfly

Love is in the air! So are butterflies!  Kate here today to share with you a card filled with love and butterflies.  The butterflies in the sweet grass stamp from the Easter Bunnies collection inspired me to play on the butterflies. 

I stamped the image across the bottom of my kraft cardstock in Emerald Green Archival Ink.  I love the little flowers and butterflies just peeking out from this stamped image.

You know a stamp is great when you can build a card around it. That is exactly what I did with this stamp!

Kiss, Kiss

Do you ever find yourself completely stumped as to what a layout needs to give it a complete look?  I had this layout sitting on my desk for a week. It just wasn't complete; it just needed "something."  That "something" was a border of kisses compliments of the S.W.A.K. stamps.  

This simple border was stamped onto smooth white Bazzill cardstock using a deep red ink.  I repeated the pattern of 3 kisses, 3 times.

These fun whimsical kisses totally played on the kissy face my daughter has in the bottom photo of her and her friends on Valentine's Day.
