Hi Everyone, Happy Monday and welcome to Jaydee's SU stampin space! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas weekend. I have to admit, Lou and I stayed up until 2a.m. this morning playing Mario Kart! We were like a pair of children! But it was great fun.
Today's card is for Kelli. Kelli, like me, loves Valentine's Day. Hey, I enjoy anything that gives me an excuse to make cards and other goodies 🙂 I wanted something clean and simple – yet again! This one is super easy to make and uses a layout that I used before for my Christmas parcel cards.
I was so happy with the end result and thought it was a great way to use some of my left over Christmas DSP from the Christmas Jingle scrapping kit. This is a card that can be made in less than 10 minutes and be made in any color scheme that takes your fancy.
Here's what I used:
- Ruby Red and Very Vanilla card stock
- My Full Heart punch
- White embossing powder
- Stem Sayings sentiment set. This is such a versatile set!
- Red Riding Hood ribbon (sadly, retired) However, you could take a piece of white organza ribbon and dye it Ruby Red – just as I did in my Love card
I did use my stylus to create an embossed line above and below the hearts. This frames the hearts and also subtly divides the card into three – and you all know my rule of three's, right? 🙂
This weekend I did get some very good playtime in my studio – well, yesterday I did. For some reason my mojo went walkabout at the end of last week. Even the simplest of cards just seemed so overwhelming and nothing, but nothing was right. So, I took a couple of days off and didn't stamp and went back into my space yesterday. It was better… still not back to my normal self… but at least I did manage to complete a couple of cards that I actually liked. I just don't know why these spells occur, but now I understand what people mean when they say "writer's block" – except in my case it's carder's block!
Your visits are always appreciated – as is your support. Don't forget… blog candy still in play until midnight on December 31. Bilbo Baggins will choose a winner and I will announce it on January 1 – along with the January 2010 blog candy alert.
I hope you have a fabulous Monday and… as always, thank you so much for visiting my little piece of the stamping blogosphere. Your visits are always appreciated – as is your support.
Peace and virtual hugs
Jaydee

Jaydee,
I only see one thing wrong with that card! And that it is not mine! (LOL) I am going to have to make this one! Very cute! Where in the world do you keep coming up with these ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Jaydee – this card is SO CUTE – and I can totally see it in all different colors. Might have to CASE this card as one of my Valentine’s Day cards…..outstanding! Kadie in Arizona
I love the idea of the printed hearts on the solid background. I NEED that sentiment stamp set for sure now that I see how cute it is. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jaydee, Simple cards are really the ones I gravitate towards, ask my regular stampers,so this will definitely be one that I c.a.s.e.
Thanks for all your inspirations!
I love the three hearts in the middle. I have so many plans for Valentine’s Day and you are adding to my list, keep ’em comin! I love to craft but need to work on my initial creativity. You are great with yours. Have fun with Mario Kart.
I so know about the carder’s block as I am feeling uninspired to make cards right now. In the meantime I have been sorting out my craft supplies and organising my papers.
Thanks for sharing the pretty card today.
Love this card Jaydee! Will be casing it today!
