When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade

Well we had rain that turned into ice here. I had to cancel my class last night because all the roads were like hockey rinks. I had already prepared for my class and one of the cards was to be for Valentines Day. I wondered what I would do with all those pieces. So after I spent several hours chopping the ice on the sidewalk so that no one would hurt themselves this is what I came up with.

I decided on Garden Whimsey, I stamped the butterfly on the card stock and again on another piece of card stock. I covered the butterfly and wheeled the Whimsy Wheel inked up with Red Riding Hood. I cut out the second butterfly and glued it on top of the first butterfly. I punch out some of the holes with the 1/4" punch and 1/16" punch so that the Red Riding Hood card stock would show thru.



The three squares at the bottom were made with the punches with the exception of the pattern paper which was cut 1" square.

Hi Stampers, this is my latest card. There will be a new bundle coming out in January called the Love You Much Bundle.

I layered the bottom half of my card front with a piece from the Candy Lane DSP that will be coming out at the same time. I used the heart embossing folder on the Riding Hood Red that is the top layer. Place a scrap piece of Chocolate Chip over the two piece were they meet. I always save my scraps just for that kind of thing.

I layer the stamped Love image on white and layered it on Riding Hood Red and Chocolate Chip and placed it in the middle of the Chocolate Chip strip. I stamped the sentiment twice and punch out with the 1 1/4 punch the words "hugs and kisses" and layered it on a 1 3/8 circle of Riding Hood Red and layered these two on the original stamped image that was punched out with the Scallop Circle Punch.

I stamped the stamp that has the three hearts which lines up perfectly with the new punch for this bundle trimmed them so that they would sit on top of the same hearts punched in Riding Hood Red.

Thanks for Looking. Please leave a comment if you like my cards or have any suggestions.
