Soccer Love

When I sat down to do my last card as a Guest Designer for Sweet N Sassy Stamps, I had the Christmas Carols playing...I was singing along...and the urge to do Valentine's struck!  Bam!  Just like that I packed up all the Christmas papers and pulled out the pinks and reds.  I know that we're going to have a few "special" valentines to give away and who doesn't know a soccer fan?  Cocoa Loves Soccer is such a perfect image to personalize an otherwise generic valentines card.

I used my Cuttlebug to cut the hearts out in a sparkly felt that I found at my local craft store.   This card came together very quickly, and I plan on making a few more and using different images like Cocoa Loves Football and Spot The Dog.

A special thanks to Jeanette who asked me to be a Guest Designer and to everyone over at Sweet N Sassy for making this such a wonderful experience.  With images as wonderful as these, it made my job a whole lot easier!

Customer spotlight Sunday

Today our customer spotlight features Margo Smith and this adorable Christmas card that she made using one of our new December release digis- Cocoa Loves Soccer. I love how Margo creativity made the soccer ball into an ornament! I love all the sparkle she used on the soccer ball. I bought one of my daughters a soccer ball Christmas ornament this year too so this immediately reminded me of that.

Well, here we are in the homestretch- the last week before Christmas. Are you ready yet??

Have a blessed day everyone!

You're #1!

I'm going to switch it up a little today and take a step away from the Christmas/winter cards. (Even though I'm not even done with my Christmas cards! lol) But I was in need of a birthday card for a young boy so I printed off "Cocoa loves soccer". I kept the card simple and went with the boy's school colors (black/white).

Card measures 4 1/4 x 4 1/4. Background is cuttlebug'd with the swiss dot folder. Colored Cocoa with Prismacolor pencils and blended with odorless minerals. Cocoa is cut out of the circle and cut out with a circle Spellbinder and then layered onto a scalloped circle Spellbinder. Entire layer is on dimensions. Did a faux layer, by using a black marker, around the digital Sports Sentiments. On the inside I wrote "Happy Birthday, All Star!" Added a ribbon tied in a knot at the top to finish off my card.

I love simple and quick cards and am really pleased at how this turned out. And with that I will leave you with this....... only 7 more days until Christmas! (eeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkk)

For a little all-star I know

Hi everyone! This is Denise here....so excited to be here as a guest this month! A dear friend of mine has a daughter who plays soccer, so I made this little notecard to send to her. I used the newly released digis, Cocoa Loves Soccer and Sports Sentiments.

The card measures 4.25" square. The main panel and star are up on foam tape. I drew in a bunch of grass with a Copic marker and then accented the grass with eucalyptus Stickles.

Stampin' Hugs,
Denise
