Love Bandit...

Make a sweet and simple card for your Valentine with the Love Bandit stamp set in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

This card has a Whisper White card stock base, with a strip of designer paper from the Sweet Pea paper pack layered on a strip of Real Red card stock that's been punched with the Pinking Hearts Border Punch. A knot of Real Red satin ribbon completes the left side of the card. All three items (paper, punch and ribbon) are in the mini too.

For the medallion, the raccoon was stamped in Basic Brown and the heart was colored with a Real Red marker. It was punched out with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch, and layered on a Real Red scallop circle, which was then adhered to the card front with dimensionals.

Quick and easy - easier than the description, in fact!

Love Bandit and Manhatten Flower folder...

These were two of the swaps at our American Ink demo meeting Saturday.

Kim used the Love Bandit stamp set (Occasions Mini 2010) and Sending Love designer paper, which has glitter on one side of each double-sided sheet in the pack.


Pearl created the Almost Amethyst card with the Manhatten Flower embossing folder and sponging. The sentiment is from the Always stamp set, punched out with the Large Oval Punch and layered on a Scalloped Oval, along with a white taffeta ribbon knot at the top fold.
