2021 Valentine’s Day Card Samples
Do you remember Valentine's Day as a youngster? I folded a piece of red construction paper in half and cut the shape of the heart. And, then I decorated it and gave it away. Of course, I signed it with the obligatory "Love, Kim." I also remember decorating shoe boxes to collect the little Valentine cards we collected in school. Paper crafting has certainly come a long way in the last fifty years! We have access to awesome rubber stamps, coordinating punches and die cuts, beautiful Designer Series Paper, and much more. Valentine's Day is one of the largest card-sending holidays of the year. Are you ready? Today I'm sharing a sampling of...

Friendly Flamingo Card Samples

Of course, I'm excited about Stampin' Up!'s new bundle, Friendly Flamingo. It's available beginning today in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. Today, I'm sharing cards samples and a video featuring this stamp set and its coordinating dies. Usually, I'm a Pinterest girl.
