Hello you! At time of writing, I am still patiently waiting for the goodies I ordered at the beginning of January. By the time this post is scheduled to publish, Valentine’s Day will be less than a fortnight away.
With Britain having left the EU, the new rules and regulations kicked in and an incredible backlog of items piled up waiting to get clearance before being shipped from across the Channel. Then we had other hoops it needed to jump through before being delivered here in the UK. It almost broke UPS who are doing an incredible job while they work to clear the backlog. Of course, the pandemic hasn’t helped as staff levels fluctuate. It goes without saying, the safety and health of the people who deliver these services to keep our countries ticking is paramount.
Consequently, I have looked at other ways to create Valentine cards with what I have in hand.
Have you noticed that I have a theme running through my cards this week? Yes, it’s blending! There are two techniques today. First, it’s reverse blending – this means blending the areas outside the central masked area and the second is the mirror image of the “jenny” sitting down. I made this into a “jenny” by putting some flowers in her mane.
Do you want to see how I did it? Grab a cuppa, and press play.

Product List
Stampin’ Up! has a new Reward System beginning early April 2025. Customers now must have an online account and need to opt in to earn 10% of their qualifying commissionable product purchases to redeem as Stampin’ Rewards on future orders. A qualifying purchase must meet the minimum threshold requirement on commissionable products. Be aware that Stampin’ Rewards have an expiration date. They need not be redeemed all at once. Stampin’ Up!’s system tracks them and the rewards expiring first will be used first when redeemed. You can check the Rewards Dashboard to help you keep track of Rewards Expiration Date Information. Please note the new Stampin’ Reward System cannot use Rewards toward the purchase of a Starter Kit as the Starter Kit has non-commissionable items in it. The Host Code will become obsolete.
