Hi friends, Welcome to the latest YCCI (You Can Create It) Challenge post.

Our February supply packets were so pretty and shiny. They included a panel of Parisian Blossoms specialty paper, a piece of Champagne foil sheet, half sheets of Petal Pink and Pool Party cardstock, and some gorgeous Champagne Rhinestones.

I decided to use the eiffel tower side of my patterned paper, and used it as a background in a die-cut frame.

The sentiment is white embossed on Vellum, which allows the patterned paper to still show through.

There was *just enough* champagne foil sheet to use as a frame and also cut the pretty die cut shape.

This gorgeous die is from the Flourish Dies set, and has been on my mind lately after helping a customer order it on the weekend. I was reminded of just how beautiful this die is, and I couldn’t wait to use it again. It’s one of my all-time favourites!

A very big thank you to my YCCI subscribers for this quarter who shared their February creations with me.

Here’s a picture of Jacque’s gorgeous cards…

BREAKING NEWS: Brand new SALE-A-BRATION products are now available! Check them out here.

Happy stamping, 

During the month of January our new group of YCCI (You Can Create It – International) subscribers received their quarterly packets of happy mail.

The box included a variety of products to experiment with – one for each month of January to March – plus bonus products to use at any time.

This is the packet they created with during January…

It included two heart doilies in Flirty Flamingo and Real Red colours, a generous length of Real Red Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon, thick Whisper White cardstock and a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

What would you create with these items?

It’s fun to let your imagination go wild.

This is what I made…

It was such a fun card our stamp club groups are making this one in February, along with a couple of other cards.

Hearts aren’t just for Valentines Day! So far we have turned this card into a birthday card, ‘my heart is with you’ card and a Thinking of You card just by changing the sentiment.

This card uses some of the gorgeous shimmery paper from the From My Heart Specialty Series Paper pack.
