Stamp Review Crew: Hearts a Flutter Edition

Have we put you into palpitations with all of the fabulous ideas yet? I sure hope so! Well, the happy kind anyway, not the kind that brings you to the ER ;)

You probably just arrived from the Cindy Beach's wonderful blog. Lovin' her style! I am stop #15, so I hope you are not too worn out from all that hopping :) If you ever get lost (or want to see the full blog roll, or check our archive of past hops),  just pop on over to the Stamp Review Crew blog.

My first project is a little treat pocket I made with a lunch sack. First cut off both ends with the pinking edge from Finishing Touches edgelits, then fold it unevenly in half. Add Fresh Prints DSP, ruffled ribbon, doily, cute die-cut hearts, jazz it up with a few rhinestones.

Then stitch the sides up, but make sure there is some slack in the pocket so you have room to tuck goodies inside :)

Next up is a little wall art in a 5x7 frame, so it is small. It can stand in a mix of family photos, or hang on the wall. I stitched the die cut pieces together into a banner with my sewing machine and taped the ends of the thread to the back of the frame. The little XOXO and I ♥ U are from the Label and Circle Card thinlits. Hey, if you have it, use it-right! Lots of Gold Encore ink and cut outs to let banners show through.

Here you can see the embossed scalloped heart image, the heart die-cut doily behind the gold, and the fun foil  I ♥ U.

I have to say, this is my favorite of this bunch. You may have noticed that I love woodgrain. I really, really do. I have all my life :) And this background stamp was so forgiving when I was stamping it repeatedly across both sides of the Sahara Sand cardstock! This flip-flop card is SO my style!Wait till you see the inside :)

Here is flap #1 opened up. How awesome is that Retro Fresh Washi Tape! It serves a couple of purposes here, decorative-and it is holding the ends of the strings.....

.....for this adorable banner! I saw this done at convention and have wanted to do one of these ever since! It is really easy to do. I think I pretty much always make my flip-flop cards with the extended extra flap now so I have somewhere to write a message too.

OK, that's it for me! Time for a little more fun with Dawn Tidd's creations!
