"xoxo" ... This is the Valentine I made for my husband. It features one of my most favorite postage stamps that I'd saved to use for something special. It's just perfect combined with one of the cute postmark stamps found in our "mostly miscellaneous" collection and the xoxo message from our "typewriter words" collection.

"xoxo  love" ... I made these adorable little tags for my kids' Valentine treat bags. I created my own fun postage stamps by combining the postage stamp border found in our "mostly miscellaneous" collection with sweet messages from our "typewriter words" collection and a punched polka dot heart.

Another stylish card using the darling photo border stamp found in our "mostly miscellaneous" collection. I love the idea of a pretty little snowflake ... framed as a tiny work of art.

"thanks!" ... This darling thank you coordinates with the fall card in my previous post. I just love this combination of colors and papers. To create the design, I used 3 very cute stamps: the "mostly mini" thanks message, the scallop trim from our "simple things" collection, and a "micro mini" heart.

A simply sweet design combining a scrap of green fabric, a flower, and 2 cute stamps from our "mostly mini" collection. The thought bubble (with tiny heart) and our little bird, work together perfectly to convey warm loving thoughts to the card recipient.

"happy birthday" ... This charming little card has many of my most favorite things: hearts, flowers, patterned papers, a vintage button, a bit of vintage trim ... and I love adding sweet little details using our darling stamps. For this design, I included our cute "mostly mini" butterfly, "micro mini" heart, and happy birthday from our "mostly mini greetings" collection.

I made this happy card for my brother who is recovering from knee surgery. He loves dogs and this sweet dog found in our "mostly miscellaneous" collection is perfectly cute to bring our love and warm thoughts to him. Inside I stamped our "mostly mini" thinking of you message and "mostly mini" paw print.
