Valentines Makes

Here's the bits I made for Valentines day this year...

 Card for my boyfriend made at SU card club.
Made using:
  • Language of love stamp set
  • Gorgeous grunge stamp set
  • Small heart punch
  • Full heart punch
  • Petites penants punch
  • Banners framleits die
 Wine cork heart...still undecided whether to try hanging this or just lean it against a wall, it does sit rather well laying on one of it's flat edges.

Mixed dark and milk chocolate hearts. Melted a few bars of dark and milk chocolate together then thinly spread it onto greaseproof paper into the shape of hearts. Whilst it was still setting I put some sugar hearts on top of the chocolate.
 After a few hours in the fridge they were ready to be bagged, Needed to keep them in the fridge though as they were so thin just touching them for a few seconds caused them to start melting...not that they lasted very long before they were all eaten!

Owl Punch Obsession

I know I'm not the only one with this problem but I am obsessed with the cute Owl Builder punch from Stampin' Up. Here's a couple of cards I've made recently using this punch.

 The first was for my boyfriend's birthday. I've used the owl builder punch and sassy salutations birthday stamp. The string for the balloons is actually thin metallic blue wire and the hearts on the balloons come from the owl builder punch.

 The second card was made for a little girl's 1st birthday and I was told to keep it cute and girly...so i got the owl builder punch out again! Everything was done in shades of pink and I used the Bitty Butterfly punch to add a few pretty pink butterflies to the lace trim. Love the pastel pink bakers twine I found for this card too.

I just love how versatile this owl builder punch is, suitable for all ages, guys and girls....even has it's uses for making non owl shaped things...check out my pinterest board Stampin Up Inspiration for some ideas how else to use the owl builder punch.
