I know the Festive & Fun stamp set is not available at this time but I have had several requests to share my Valentine card I created using this set. This set was available in our 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog.
The first thing you will probably notice when you look at this card is that I did not stamp the image as shown in the mini catalog or as it is intended. I didn't want it as a long image for my card but rather more square so I inked up" "v thru "n", cleaned my stamp then stamped the "t" thru "e" under the first stamped image. I did use StazOn Jet Black ink so that is why I had to clean my stamp thoroughly between stamping. I watercolored the images so that is why I used the StazOn instead of our Basic Black Stampin Write marker. The Basic Black marker is not permanent so the ink will run when you watercolor. I used Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Certainly Celery, and Pink Pirouette and my Aqua Painter to watercolor the images. I used our small heart punch to stamp the heart out of our Red Glitter paper for the tip of the arrow. I used Pink Pirouette cardstock and punched along one edge using our Scallop Edge Punch and added some stitching detail using a Real Red Stampin' Write Marker ( this tied in the stitching found in the "n" of the image. The Designer Series paper I used came from our Subtles Designer Series Paper Pack # 117152. I added a Whisper White Satin Ribbon, a mat of Certainly Celerry cardstock and a little Dazzling Details to the dots in the heart and walla!! my valentine is all ready to give to my sweetie tomorrow!!
I hope you use your Festive & Fun satmp set as much as I do!
