Card Assortment for February Occasions

February was a month full of birthdays and anniversaries.  A friend of mine came over one cold afternoon in February and we had a lot of fun stamping.  It looks like we were in the mood to use Gray in our creations!  Love the Gray and Pink as well as the Gray, Green and Purple color schemes.  My daughter even joined us.  She made her very own birthday invitations.  Check it out!

Masking Anniversary Hearts

Ohh I am finished my Stampin' Technique & Scrapbook Club cards.  This month we will be doing two.  Here is the first one featuring the basic masking technique.  I decided against the Make-A-Monster card as I wanted to do two cards featuring the masking technique and that one would only let us do one.  It is kind of a timely card........lots of steps.  Masking is one of my fav techniques the reason being is it is so versatile.  You can mask anything.  There are also different ways to mask....you have a basic mask, reverse mask, and an advance mask where you stamp your image and put a background behind it.  For September's techniques we are doing the basic mask which is demonstrated in this card as well as the advanced mask which will be featured in the next post.  Ohhh I am so excited to teach them the advance mask.  I am still back at the drawing board for the reverse mask.

Stampin' Up! Supplies used:
Stamp sets: I {heart} Hearts, Teeny Tiny Wishes
