Luuuuurve!

Hi everybody!  Thank you for visiting me today.  I'm sharing an early Valentine's card that I've made for my husband.  As my regular visitors will know, my husband isn't very impressed with my cards, especially if they are cute (my usual style!) but I think he'll like this one as it doesn't have a cute image in sight!

Now I just couldn't photograph this card very well - it looks much better in real life!  I die cut the pink card with DCWV glitter cardstock and used lots of foam pads for depth.  I used dies from the SugarPea Designs SugarCuts Heart Journal Card die set and the polka dot paper is by Doodlebug.  Take a closer look at this gorgeous die set...

And here's a closer look at the glitter cardstock...

Well, we'll have to wait and see if he likes it!  In the meantime, I'll be back later in the week with my La-La Land Crafts and Alicia Bel DT posts - see you then!

SugarPea Designs 1st birthday celebration!

This is a very special day - it's the first birthday of SugarPea Designs!  When the very sweet Wendy, owner of the store, asked me to join her design team, I was really pleased she asked me as she is a very talented crafter herself plus I have considered her a very good friend.  What I didn't know was how much I would love the stamp sets and how fast the company would grow!  I truly love SugarPea Designs and very proud to be on this very talented team.

Of course we had to celebrate and we're doing it in style!  First off we have a blog hop - comment on all of the blogs joining in - see the list below - for this special day.  More details on this below.  

Here is my DT card in celebration of SugarPea Designs first birthday...

I just had to use the newbies from the January release and I'm really pleased with how this turned out.  I used the SugarCuts Air Mail die set, SugarCuts Heart Journal Card die set, SugarCuts Heart Border die, and the sentiment is from the Happy Mail stamp set.

I also used the heart border stamp from this month's  freebie stamp set which you can get if you spend $60 or more this month. It's called Build-A-Background - Basics and here's a closer look at it...

Of course there are lots of prizes to be won along the way! A few of our blog hop participants will be giving away a SugarPea Designs stamp set so please leave some love on your travels. In addition to this, one lucky winner will be randomly chosen from all the comments left and that winner will receive...drum roll...

Here's the hop list...

Last day of sneak peeks of the SugarPea Designs January release!

(Please scroll down for my La-La Land Crafts DT post!)

Now yesterday I promised you that we'd be showing a very sweet, adorable stamp set from the SugarPea Designs January release - you won't be disappointed!  It's called Fairy Sweet and this is what I did with it...

I really enjoyed putting this card together.  I even managed to colour her in softly - not my usual heavy handed Copic colouring!  The paper is by Simple Stories and I used glitter cardstock to die cut that cut little heart.  I stamped the sentiment from the set onto a die cut from the SugarCuts Layered Treat Labels die set (available in the store!).

Okay, you know the drill by now!  Join the blog hop and leave a comment on this post and on each of the SugarPea Designers' blogs listed below and you could WIN this stamp set!  All winners during our January Product Release will be announced on Sunday, January 11th.
