WOOHOO, the Saints are going to the SuperBowl!!!! We are so happy for our New Orleans Saints!!!! As you may be aware, Saints Fever is sweeping the nation! With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I asked my boys (they are 5 year old twins) if they wanted Saints Valentines and they said "COOL!!!" So here is my version of a Saints Valentine -
Black & Gold all the way!!! I had to add a little red for the holiday! The Fleur de Lis image is from a retired stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Carte Postale and I would not give it up for anything! But, the same image (slightly larger) is available as a stencil (item #118262)in the Definitely Decorative brochure.
Connor's Valentine uses the Stampin' Up! Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder (117335) and the Full Heart punch (113693). I sponged some Encore gold ink around the heart cut out and sprayed the paper with a Shimmer Paint mixture. It is more fabulous in person!
For the shimmer, I used an older Stampin' Mist container. Fill with 70% rubbing alcohol and about 1/2 teaspoon of the Champagne Mist Shimmer paint (116806). Be sure to shake it before you spray it and mist your paper! The alcohol evaporates and leaves a beautiful sparkle to the paper! If you are stamping as well, be sure to stamp after you spray and it dries.
I made Jack's a little different, of course! The gold heart is created with brushed gold card stock (102935) and the Stampin' Up! Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslits die (117332) from the Occasions Mini!
I love the edge of this Valentine - it's created with the Pinking Heart Border punch (117649). Other supplies I used for this project are the Small Heart punch (117193), With All My Heart stamp set (118134), Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (115370), Word Window punch (105090), and Modern Label punch (116630).
GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!
