February 2020

Hi Everybody!!

Are you someone who “needs a reason”, such as - birthday, anniversary, Christmas, etc. to send a card? Everyone knows that Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away, but did you know there are tons of unknown or little-known celebrations for the month of February?  Here are a few:

                 February is…

                                Canned food Month

                                National Bake for Family Fun Month

                                National Embroidery Month

Want to see what we’re making?  Your wish is my command…

This card was CASE'd from Sue Mohr (one of my favorite

people to CASE). It is such a romantic card to be used for 

Valentine's Day or an anniversary.  It also has a soft look

and could be used as a sympathy card.

Next, is a card using the Painted Poppies stamp set.  And, 

when you pair it with the Peaceful Poppies DSP, the possibilities 

are endless! This card and the one below were both 

inspired from Kim Smith's designs. 

Have I mentioned that I love the Painted Poppies and

Peaceful Moments Bundles? I do, I do, I do!!!!

I think this card could be used for every occasion

you can imagine!

Last, but not least... I had to get out of my rut of poppies!

Using the Timeless Tulips Bundle, this card is CASE'd from

Susan Levasseur.  Great to send as a sympathy card, 

get well card or Easter card.

Below are some more cards created by me or inspired from other demonstrators using the Poppies and Tulips stamp sets.  If you have the products for make these at home, you can order a "kit" (consists of cardstock and embellishments) from me for $3.00 each.
