Stampin’ Up! Sealed With Love You Lots!

Well, it’s Monday again.  A-freakin’-mazing how fast the weekend flies by.  I wonder if it would if I was “really” retired?  Would I still get the Sunday-afternoon-blues?  Hmm.  Not sure.

So – I had a bit of a revelation this weekend.  Ready?  Here ’tis.

Mrs. Brady had it made.

Not cuz they knew it was much more than a hunch.

Not even cuz all the girls had hair of gold like their mother (the youngest one in curls).

Nope.

It was Alice!

Mrs. Brady had Alice.

I don’t even know if she realized how good she had it – her fake tv house was always clean – fake dinner was always ready and the fake dishes were always done.

And – thanks to Alice – Mrs. Brady wouldn’t even have gotten upset over…

That used to be the stuffed squeaky toy he got for Christmas.  I think one of those white things is the squeaky thing…

Sigh…9 months.  15 more months of chewie….sigh…. Alice would just cheerfully vacuum up the mess.  No.  Wait – she’d pick up all the pieces, stuff them back in the toy and sew it up.  All while a lovely roast was cooking in the oven.

I want need Alice!! 😉

Now – my card for today is another Valentine’s Day card or a hey-I-really-love-you-here’s-a-card card.  I used the Annual Catalog host-exclusive set called Love You Lots, plus a few goodies from the Sealed with Love Bundle.  And threw in a little…Grateful Bunch!  Take a look-see:

This one played along with the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches this week.

And…the Just Us Girls Photo Week inspired much of the card.

I started with a plain Whisper White panel and stamped a field of Grateful Bunch daisies across it – using So Saffron ink and stamping it off once before stamping the card.  Then I SNAILd the panel to a Real Red mat.

My hearts are from the Sweet & Sassy Layering Framelits – and the Love Notes Framelits.  I cut two Sweet & Sassy hearts – one from the Sending Love DSP Stack and one in Real Red.  The Real Red heart got embossed in the Happy Heart TIEF, too.

I cut a heart from So Saffron card stock, using the Love Notes Framelits die.  The last heart…started with the cute ladybug stamped image from Lots of Love.  I stamped it in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Whisper White.  Then I colored the image with my Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker and cut the image with another Sweet & Sassy Framelit.

The sentiment is from the Sealed with Love stamp set.  To start, I inked the little interlocked hearts image in Real Red, stamping it off once on scrap paper, then stamped my card stock.  Over that, I stamped the little sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  Then I cut the image with the matching die in the Love Notes Framelits.

I adhered the three bottom hearts to the card front with Liquid Glue.  The lady bug heart and the sentiment are popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Then I added a Real Red Enamel Shapes heart and the card front was done.

On the inside, I simply stamped a single Grateful Bunch daisy in stamped-off-once So Saffron in the middle of a Whisper White panel.  I used some sticky note tape to cover the other two flowers on the stamp.

I SNAILd the panel to a Real Red mat and into my So Saffron card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

For my Whisper White Medium Envelope, I added more of the Grateful Bunch daisies in So Saffron across the front…

…and gave the envelope flap a little more of the Sending Love DSP.

Et Voila!  Yellow daisies and hearts for Valentine’s day – or just any day you need to tell someone you love them.  Hope you like! 🙂
