Yet another sketch from last year that I had to tuck away for future used due to the insane business of December which lead to very little stamping time. The round circle was taunting me to use the "U" die once again, but alas, my "U" Die support group meetings have been doing their job LOL!
I've had my eye on these adorable acorn dies and matching stamp set from PTI for a while now, and can gratefully say some birthday money provided them a one way ticket to my house - happy, happy, joy, joy! Lots of great sentiments and different styled "tops" for the acorns so you can mix and match to your heart's content.
I knew the "nuts about you" sentiment would be great fun to use for a Valentine's Day card - thus the red acorns were born LOL! Still playing with polka dots and paired them with stripes this time. A fun, simple card that was great fun to make :)
What's In It?
Stamps: Autumn Acorns (PTI)
Paper: Dots and Stripes (Echo Park), Pink Stripe (Making Memories), Real Red
Ink: Black, Real Red
Accessories: Lacy Circle and Circle Nesties, Acorn Dies (PTI), 5/8" Sheer Black Ribbon, Button, Twine, Glue Dot, Black Half Pearls, Dimensionals
Ooh this card is a cracker! Hmm, doesn't a cracker go with nuts?

ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! Your acorns are awesome and this card totally came together beautifully. Fantastic Valentines Day card, Marisa!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card, Marisa! Love those acorns and your mix of stripes and polka dots!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect for Valentines day.. My dog eats acorns all the time in my driveway. Drives me crazy cause then she gets a tummy ache. Love the colors. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking you're getting cards done before the hubby job comes!!! I've been so busy...I'm behind!!! Love the colors and those acorns!!! Also, love the previous card.
ReplyDeleteUntil you pointed it out I had never noticed the regular appearance of 'U', glad the support group thing is working out! Of course I love this card of dot, stripes and classic simplicity! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I loe those glitter PTI acorns, but have managed to exercise self-control in ordering them so far. You are NOT helping! Enabler! Sounds like you had a wonder mom and daughter date. A free trip to Old Navy?! I need to shop with you!
ReplyDeleteLove the acorn colors! Changes there look and makes them look so lovingly festive! Awesome look, Marisa!
ReplyDeleteYou're so funny, the "U Die support group"!!
ReplyDeleteThese acorns are AH-dorable!!
Oh, yeah...I'm certainly nuts about this card! (And other things if you ask hubby)! Striking color combo and beautiful organdy ribbon!
