Here's a couple cute little Valentine cards from the same stamp set that I used last week (Sassafras Lass.) I kept it simple with minimal layers, but made sure I used my embellishments, per my New Year's resolution to make simple cards with more embellishments. No more hoarding embellishments! LOL!
I got my Sale-a-bration order from Stampin' UP yesterday, woo hoo! I finally got those itty bitty metal library clips I've had my eye on since they debuted in a mini catalog. They are SO cute and I'm so glad I broke down and got them. You'll be seeing them soon in a future blog post. I also got the crocheted Fleurettes, which are very nicely done, flat and evenly stitched. Yes, technically, I could crochet my own, and I did make a few, but working with such a small hook and fine thread is a big ol' pain in the tush! I'd much rather use my time and energy for stamping.
What embellishment have you had your eye on in the SU catalog but haven't bought yet? The corduroy brads and filigree brads are still on my wish list.
Thanks so much for visiting!

Such adorable cards, I just saw these stamps the other day and couldn't get over how adorable the little dear is, he reminds me of Bambi.

These are really cute, Jessica! The flowers look so soft and the deer are adorable. I especially like the one in the little heart. Love the way the Pretty Petals background looks in white on the first card. I have that background and haven't used it yet. As for new embellishments...I just got the filigree brads. Hmmmm...haven't used them yet, either, but I'll make definite plans for them!
