Dragonfly Dreams plus One Cent = A Penny Spinner Card....COOL!!
Notice the "track" in the middle and the position of the dragonfly that appears to move?
Well, this is a fun "Penny Spinner" card made by my friend (and demo) Kim B. of Hennepin, IL
You probably can't tell by the pics but Kim used Clear Wink of Stella on the Dragonfly wings.
She also used the Blossom Bunch Punch for the 4 little flowers at the top and bottom.
It's been awhile since I've made a spinner card myself, but it sure is fun to receive one!
I just love to sit and play and watch (in this case) the dragonfly move around.....
I know-- I'm very easily entertained apparently! LOL
Thanks for stopping by. Lori Helvick

Valentine for my sweetie using "Sunshine Wishes Thinlit" by StampinUP
I made this card while at a friends card buffet in Sterling, IL.
Debbie Kramer got this idea from Ronda Wade.

The "I Love You" words and the black outline image both come from the set "Thoughtful Banners"
This verse for the inside of the card comes from the "Sealed with Love" Stamp Set
(Occasions Catalog- pg. 15)

Though my sweetie is a bit under the weather today, he still enjoyed his card!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!

January 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit Alternate Valentine Cards (times 2)
I used pcs. and parts and stamps from the recent Paper Pumpkin Kit from StampinUP.
I had fun using the diagonal striped vellum and the hearts in a different way other than the 3-D Boxes.
Though the candy treat bag/box was very cute in the January kit, I would much rather make cards!!
Here is another alternate idea that is simple and came together quickly.
On these cards, I just added some white and real red card stock.
Oh, and on the 1st sample, I used some of the "Metallic Enamel Shapes".
Any questions, I would LOVE to answer them for you.
Please contact me here or send an email to: stampinfool2006@yahoo.com
Thanks! Lori Helvick

Sale-A-Bration 2017 Freebie- "Inside The Lines" Designer Series Paper x 2 Cards
Personally, I'm not big on coloring but this special paper looks good either way!
I used the Layering Square Framelits here to cut out a pc. from the bottom layer.
Then I did use markers to color that pc. and layered it with the Stitched Framelits.
On this card, I did not color the paper at all.
I used the dotted stamp from the Dragonfly Dreams Set to add some color on both corners.
I really love this stamp set and this paper used together!! :)
If you have any questions about either card, please let me know.
Thank you- Lori
