Happy Valentine's Day! After two very busy days I'm looking forward to having a nice relaxing day today. This morning I found out that this card I made was featured on the Stamper's Showcase today.
How exciting is that?! For those of you who don't know, Stamper's Showcase is a card gallery featured on the demonstrator only side of the Stampin' Up! website. If you'd like more details on this card, you can find them by clicking here.
Throughout the school year I enjoy making hand-stamped gift for my children's teachers. I know that teachers are always in need of thank you cards so I decided to make a set for each teacher for Valentine's Day.
The layout for my card came from Valerie Stangle. I loved the Christmas card she made using this layout.
If you're anything like me, you have a huge stash of retired designer series paper (DSP). I can't seem to use it all up. So I pulled out some retired Georgia Peach DSP and used it to make my cards. You can substitute the Georgia Peach DSP with the Washington Apple DSP that's still in the current catalog. Both packs of DSP have the same layout and design, they just have different color schemes.
The So Saffron ribbon is from the Ribbon Bundle that you can get for free through the Sale-a-bration promotion. The layout and design of this card is so simple that I think the rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory.
Thanks for stopping by today! ~Dannie

Congrats on your card being the center of attention Dannie! I love the notecards you made--as a first grade teacher, it's true I'm always in need of notes. Wouldn't it be great to have a parent like you!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Wow Dannie, I saw the card and didn't even check who had submitted it. I thought, how cute, putting the love birds in front of that cute heart?! Congrats!

So funny that the featured card was yours! I was in there 2 days ago (or was it yesterday already?!) and I saved it to my favorites to eventually case for my website! I picked it out right away but didn't connect that you were "Dannie"! (Not sure what I was thinking but SU is a big company!!) Good job!
