Hugs & Kisses Suite Sweet Love Garland

BLOG CANDY ALERT, keep reading
Today is January 15th and it's my big day to share with you a project featuring products from the Hugs & Kisses Suite in the Occasions Mini Catalog that is also being shared over at Create with Connie & Mary Occasions Edition.  We are celebrating two preview weeks before the five week private subscription which begins on January 23!  Starting Sunday, January 23 only subscribers will have access to the five weeks of fabulous projects that Connie Babbert, Mary Brown, and Guest Designers, Cristena Bagne, Rochelle Gould and myself will be doing on Create with Connie and Mary!  You WON'T want to miss it!
So, on with the show this is it! 
You may not know this about me, but I love garlands.  I am a huge fan of them and I make them for all seasons, holidays, and birthdays.  And, what would Valentine's be without a L-O-V-E garland?  This sweet garland is bright, cheery, dimensional, and sparkly.  It's perfect for adding a bit more love to my home.


All supplies for this garland are from Stampin' Up! but most everything I used comes from the Hugs & Kisses Suite from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  When working with a collection of products from a design suite you are guaranteed a cohesive and polished look.  Click here for a step by step photo tutorial.

    Never thought I had a "thing" for banners, but this one could get me hooked! I AM hooked on my Big Shot...and this is one more way to get things done "the easy way"!!!

    This is gorgeous. I am grateful for the idea of using Versamark on the Letterpress plate. I have tried craft ink, but it fairly messy. I think my customers will have an easier time with Versamark
