Marvelous Monday #89

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 89th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday."  Perhaps in a small way, I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.
Since Valentine's Day is in a little over two weeks, I thought it would be fun to share some projects to help celebrate this day. Using a stamp set called Heartfelt along with matching punches, this allows you to create tags, boxes, and cards for Valentine's Day.  The greetings on this stamp set convey love and friendship which include-"Being friends is better than eating cand (let's do that too!)", "So lucky to have a friend like you," "Love you lots," "From my heart to you," "Roses are red, violets are blue," and, "Happy Valentine's Day." Here are the projects using this stamp set and matching punches:

May you have a Marvelous Monday and a blessed week.

At the beginning of the new year, it's nice to have a stack of birthday cards on hand.  A stamp set called Bonanza Buddies offers a great option for creating the cards.

Marvelous Monday #86-Happy New Year!

Welcome to Monday.  It can be tough getting back into the swing of the things after the weekend.  This is the 86th in a series of blog posts called "Marvelous Monday."  Perhaps in a small way, I can help make Monday's a little happier by sharing some crafting projects and also share some Scripture readings.
Hi and Happy New Year 2020!. Our first Monday of the New Year.  I have a fun little project for you today.
Stampin Up has released a collection of new products and I'm excited to share some 3"x3" note cards and envelopes called Best Dressed. This card size is nice to add to a gift or surprise someone by putting the card on their desk, dresser, nightstand or in someone's lunchbox.  The cards have a water wash printed on the front of the card.  Using a stamp set called Beautiful Bouquet, I simply stamped over the water wash and added 3 rhinestones to the side.
