More Valentine's and some goodies...

So I was visiting my friend Tammy in Everett this last weekend, and she happens to live by a Joanns.  Like right by it...  So I had to check it out ;)  And wouldn't you know they had some stuff that my local store didn't, score!



I swear I am addicted to these $1 clear stamp sets.  I mean really, who can say no to a dollar??


Then I found some more $1 goodies with these wood mounted stamps.  Also all the paper crafts were 40% off this week, so great deal on the punches too!




I have wanted to make some square cards, but I didn't want to spend $$$ on the envelopes since they are an odd shape.  But lookie what I found, and for 40% off to boot!  Plus, the easter cards were only $1, and the Spellbinders template, yeppers, 40% off baby!




Moving right on to the Valentine's cards...  I love this paper stack by K&Co, it is called Ka-Zoo Valentine, super cute!  I got it at Michael's with my 40% off coupon ;)  The sentiment stamp is another $1 set of course!



Have you heard of a "One Sheet Wonder"?  I had a while ago, but never tried it out.  Basically, you have a template to cut one sheet of 12x12 paper a certain way to make a variety of cards.  So I decided to give this one a try, and it was fun!  AND it made 16 cards!  I have had this single sheet of SEI patterned paper for a few years, and decided to use it for this project.  The basic guideline is pretty easy to follow, and then once I had them all assembled I embellished each one with flowers, bling, etc.

  1. Great Finds and awesome cards Shasta. The Close To My Heart WISHES Card Confidence Book has three different sets of these types of cards where you can get a ton of cards from a couple pieces of paper. Super Cool as it saves time and coming up with the idea...you get to spend more time on the fun part...embellishing!! :o)
