Today I have a Valentine's card using a lovely, but sadly retired, stamp.

Spellbinders Club Kits for February: Glimmer and Small Dies
Time to share my cards using this month's Spellbinders Club Kits! Today I have the Glimmer of the Month: Spring Canopy. It comes with Lavender Petal foil. And keep on scrolling to see what I did with the Small Dies of the month, Step into Spring.
I tried the glimmer plate first with Rainbow Confetti foil.

Happy Heart Day!
February is the month for Valentines, so I'll be sharing some cards all month with that in mind. For today's card, I dug out a clear stamp from Wild Rose Studio dated 2016. I collected Teddy Bears for many years, so this one tugs at my heart.

Some Valentines, inspired by Tim
It's February, the month for Valentines!
I was inspired by Tim Holtz's Valentine video last month to pull out my Valentine supplies and make some cards.

Gilded Viola
Memory Box/Poppy Stamps/Birch Press Design have the best sales at the end of the year! And these companies are so generous! I placed an order then and they sent along some freebies. This Gilded Viola stencil set was one of them. I decided to take the title to heart and used inks for the first 2 layers, and foiled the third.
I tilted this first photo so you could see the gold foiling better.

Abstract Triangles
My dear friend Linda had an extra foiling plate, and generously sent it to me! She also came up with the idea for both of us to use this plate to make a Valentine's card and post our cards on the same day, what fun!
Here's mine.

Woodblock Wednesday!
Here's my card for this month's Woodblock Wednesday at Amy's blog. Choosing a snowman seemed right to wind up my mini snowman series this month.

Snowy
Here's everyone's old favorite snowman from Penny Black! He's a woodblock, dated 2008. This time I made a (mostly) 1-layer card, using masking and paper-piecing.

Let It Snow!
Since I've finished with all my assignments from Spellbinders, I think I'll finish out this month with some snowman cards!
Today's card features the new Tim Holtz set released at Simon Says Stamp in December as a limited edition, and sold out now. It's called Be of Good Cheer, and it included the heads of a Santa (used HERE) and this snowman. I gave him a body and brought in some supporting dies that are also retired to mix with him, taking a page out of Tim's book, to just play with what I have.

This is the Day
I mentioned that the Nature's Frame stencil set was my favorite of the Spellbinders Club Kits this month, so I wanted to use it one more time. It was easy to mix these springy colors, so that's what I did!
The stencils form a lovely floral frame and this time I chose a large sentiment to fill the center. This satisfies my need for some color in these bleak grey days of January, and a reminder to enjoy every day.
Thanks so much for coming by today - enjoy your day!
