Love & Valentine’s

Michelle Gleeson February 14, 2020 February 14, 20200

Happy Valentine’s Day! Just a quick post to send some love your way. I have been creating Valentine’s cards to send to family and friends for a few weeks. One thing I often do is forget to mail them but this year I got them out on time. Success!

This card showcases one of the fun patterns on the From My Heart DSP. The small hearts are foiled so there is a beautiful shimmer to the hearts. The large heart is from Stampin’ Up’s Stitched Be Mine Dies.

The sentiments are from the Simon Says Stamp Love & Valentines Word Mix 2 stamp set and coordinating die. This set has so many sentiments that are stamped at once and then cut out with the single die. LOVE this set.

This card uses another pattern of the DSP and another sentiment from the same stamp set.

I hope you feel the love today.

Cheers,

Michelle

Much Love

Stitched Be Mine Stampinpretty Sketchbook Love Card Idea Michelle Gleeson Stampinup SU

I am gradually getting my Valentine cards created. This card was inspired by a sketch by Mary Fish over at Stampin’ Pretty.

I needed a bit of inspiration and the sketch did the trick. The card base is a standard 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. The DSP is retired SU Garden Impressions. The heart was cut from Calypso Coral cards stock using the SU Stitched Be Mine dies then mounted on the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. This allowed the stacked banners to slip under the heart.

The sentiment is from Concord & 9th’s Pretty Poppy stamp set. I love the font and it pops stamped with Altenew Obsidian pigment ink. The bow was added using retired SU ribbon. And the final touch are the three hearts cut from the Stitched Be Mine dies in SU Sparkle Glimmer Paper.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are inspired to be crafty today.

Cheers,

Michelle

Clubhouse Birthday for GDP#221

Stampin up Clubhouse GDP#221 Color Challenge Masculine birhtday card ideas Michelle Gleeson Stampinup SU

A quick post before I head off to work this morning. I was inspired by two challenges the Global Design Project Team Color Challenge and Freshly Made Sketches.

While I LOVE Christmas if you are like me I am done with all the holiday inspired paper crafting projects therefore I took this holiday-ish color palette and went in a different direction.

The card is simple and perfect for a masculine birthday. Clubhouse is a new stamp set coming out on January 3rd. There are coordinating dies as well.

Of course the inside of the card is just as important as the outside. I do love this sentiment.

(As I was taking the photos the sun went behind the clouds leaving me with a blue tint to the white card stock. )

Thanks for stopping by!

A very special Birthday

Michelle Gleeson December 24, 2019 December 24, 20192

Each year Christmas Eve brings so forth so many memories. Excitement as a child with the anticipation of Santa’s arrival, celebrations with family as we went to mass and came home to enjoy champagne appetizers and gift opening, and then the birth of our first son.

Our son’s birth was not anticipated as he came three months early. I can recall like it was yesterday leaving the hospital on Christmas night passing the beautiful decorations that lined the hospital drive – without him with us. We had a priest come to the hospital to christen him on Christmas Day; and experienced our own Christmas miracle as Conor responded well to the jet ventilator. Today we celebrate his 26th birthday!
