A Big Squeeze

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. If you have hearts and words of love in your stash of supplies, then you are all set! A card for your big squeeze, though, doesn’t have to be red, and it doesn’t have to feature hearts. I’ve created a cute Valentine’s Day card to share with you today – and it features lemons. Here’s my card:

Sweet Citrus, Stampin Up!, Brian King

The Sweet Citrus stamp set and coordinating Sweet Citrus Hybrid Embossing Folder were initially offered as a bundle in last year’s Spring Catalog. When it carried over into the Annual Catalog, the discount went away – but the products still work well together and are a great deal. What fun! Here’s a look at the Sweet Citrus stamp set:

I positioned them in the coordinating embossing folder (the dies can fit right inside the folder) with the dies and cropped them all out. So fun! So many great combinations to showcase these sweet images. Here’s a look at the coordinating folder and dies:

Go, me! Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (a double pack of amazing designs that can be selected for free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration:
