Valentine Roses

Today's Valentines focus on romance using roses and rose buds from Kitchen Sink Stamps'
Heart & Roses Multi Step Clear Stamps. The bow is from Holly & Mistletoe Multi Step Clear Stamps (Post sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps).

The 10 minute card is a one layer design which I created for Splitcoaststampers CAS310. Their theme this week was love.

I Love You!

Before you know it, Valentine's Day will be here and I am hard at work on keeping my one New Year's Resolutions - Never wait until the day you need it to make a card. So far I have all my January birthday cards made and in addressed and stamped envelopes! It feels so good! And today, my Valentines are made and ready to be stuffed with cash for my granddaughters!

Nothing says Valentine to me more than hearts and roses so they are the stars of my Valentine cards.

My quick card has 3 die cut hearts popped up one on top of the other.

KSS 10 Minute Monday - Another Overlay

Thank you so much for checking in on today's challenge! This week's 10 Minute Card Challenge is another overlay design. I stamped my Kitchen Sink images and sentiments directly on the card front. The overlay is a 3.75 x 5 inch colored panel which I cut a hole in with my heart Nestabilities and then embossed with my Cuttlebug. The final step in this design is to glue the embossed panel over the stamped images.

If you choose to join in the challenge this week, use whatever shape works for you. I am getting ready for Valentine's Day so I chose the heart. The keyword for uploading to the Kitchen Sink Gallery is 10MC55.

My final card today was created for my 10 Minute Card Challenge in the KSS Forum. 

Those of you who have not purchased from Kitchen Sink Stamps may not know that with each order you get a cute(and free) little thank you stamp from KSS. I thought it would be fun for this week's 10 Minute Challenge if we used these stamps in our designs.

So here is the challenge: using any one of your KSS freebies and 10 minutes, create the card of your choice. You may use any papers, any tools, any embellishments you like as long as your card is completed in 10 minutes. Here is my first card for the challenge. I will add more as the week progresses!

Please upload your card for the challenge in the KSS Gallery and include 10MC3 in your keywords.

Kitchen Sink Crew Challenge - 10 Minute Cards

The Kitchen Sink Crew Challenge 31 is to use your Kitchen Sink Stamps to create a 10 minute card! That is a difficult challenge for some of us on the Crew!! But the clean and simple style of 10 minute cards really allows the beauty and depth of the Kitchen Sink images to shine so I think 10 minutes designs and Kitchen Sink Stamps are a perfect fit.

We are also sharing with you the three new sets released on New Year's Eve to those attending the opening of Kitchen Sink Stamps' Forum and Gallery. What a great time we had! The stamp sets are Bunch O' Balloons, Champagne Celebration, and Sweet Heart Roses.These sets are available for purchase now in the Kitchen Sink Store. If you enter the store in the right sidebar, you will receive a 10% discount on all items in your cart - no code needed!
