This month our theme is “Lots of Love!” Well, I don’t know about you, but that has me thinking of Valentine’s Day and sharing some hand-made cards and gifts with the ones I love. I hope you like my projects! Did you notice one of Stampin’ Up!’s newest stamp sets in the 2016 Occasions Catalog called “Beautiful Ride”? The second I saw this stamp set, I just knew I needed it, I had a total flashback to all the old Herbie movies by Disney. Remember watching “Wonderful World of Disney” on Sunday nights?
Of course one of my favorite “Herbie” movies was Herbie Fully Loaded, with Lindsay Lohan in 2005 (it feels like just last year- not 11 years ago I saw this with my niece).
I have been a huge Disney fan all my life, and so are my nieces and nephews. So I thought they would love a Herbie valentine card and gift card holder.
I used so many new Stampin’ Up! products for these two projects, there is a complete supply list of everything down at the bottom of the page.
I used a retired stamp for the “happy valentine’s day” sentiment- remember “Good Greetings” from last year? Well, it was too big to fit in the washi label punch- so I “extended” it- by slipping in the paper you can trim the ends and get the same washi label look.
Since Herbie the love bug was a pale yellow (remember “barely banana”? that would have been a perfect color to match the original Herbie). I used So Saffron and fussy cut the car out. Colored the wheels in with my black stampin’ write marker. Notice the shimmer on the windows? That is my new favorite – the Wink of Stella glimmer pen (clear). I just love how instantly it makes everything sparkle- and NO DRYING time! Love IT!!
When I got the card to this point I wondered how to enhance it- so I stepped it up a bit:
What do you think of this version?
Had to decorate the inside! love the stamps in the new “Going Global” stamp set! Perfect for Valentine’s day.
Custom insert to hold a gift card, for inside the Mini Treat Bag.
Well, that is my contribution to the January edition of the Stampin Friends Blog Hop. What do you think?

Lynn, so many fun things going on in the card. I can also remember watching the Love Bug on Sunday night. Wow, that was a long time ago. I have to put in a plug for this months paper pumpkin. Love it! The day I got it, happened to be the night that everyone had something going on but me, and I couldn’t help myself. As soon as everyone was out of the house, I opened my box and was in heaven. #SFJanHop
