Toaster Valentines

I have always had a thing for all things vintage, and loved The Greetery for 

spotlighting the sweetness of aged goodies. Their toaster die has just the  

right 'kitchy' vibe for a couple of valentines.

Using mirror cardstock, the aqua toaster is 'poppin' with love!

To make the heart background, I created a stencil using Greetery's Falling Hearts

 background die. 

I used the reversed dies for the 2nd toaster card, this time my toaster's hot pink, still

popping with love.

The sentiments are a combo of Tear Strip Tags Valentine,  and Hearts at Home

Sentiments.

So much fun to create, they're off to a couple of special grands!

 

Poppin' Up to Say...

 

It's the season of Love, and I have a couple of Valentines made with The

Greetery's newest release, Have a Heart.

The Toaster was an immediate favorite during the release. So classic, with all it's

pieces to personalize with color, a vintage sweetheart!

I cut the pieces for the toaster in red and silver mirror card stock. That gave me 2 

toasters. The toast was cut from ivory and Kraft, and then 'toasted' with Vintage 

Photo DOI.

Look carefully and you'll see I die cut another piece of the toaster from black

cardstock, to give it a sort of shadow.

The sentiments were embossed with Ranger's Distress Barn Door, the BEST red

embossing powder ever! And believe me I have several reds. It's so fine, and has

a slight sheen. Really love it!

Backgrounds are also Greetery: Window Pane Plaid stamped with Ranger's 

Barn door onto red cardstock. And Ribbon Maker Hearts die cut from Vellum, and

stenciled onto pale pink cardstock.

Happy Valentines everyone! Thanks for visiting!

12 Kits of Occasions: September Friends and Food

Hi everyone! It's the end of September and time for the 12 Kits' post. 

This month our hostess is Kim Heggins,  (Cupcakes, Cards and Kim) and she's sent us

a kit full of Friends and Food! What could be more fun!

Leading off with some sprinkles, and a joy filled box of sweets!

Kim included this sentiment, I added die cuts and an ampersand heart. So much

fun to dress up in pink!

I haven't tried avocado toast, but hear it's all the rage. Lots of 'pop ups' with foam

and added to a Greetery frame.

Truth is, to own this coppery mixer, complete with all it's attachments,

 is a dream of mine. Baking is one of my passions, and I would love a mixer

that kneeds the dough for me.

Adding a closeup of the mixer, painted with metallics:

And a photo of my 'vintage' mixer:

50 years with this 'old gal'. Still works great.  A wedding present from my hubby's 

aunt when we got married 50 years ago in march! So many delicious memories 

within this bowl! Ah, but I can still dream each time I pass a Williams Sonoma

window with those shiny new mixers in every color under the rainbow!

Can't wait to see what my teammies did with their kits, especially the mixer!

Thanks for the visit, and thank you for your comments. Love reading each one.
