Happy Valentines Day!!

 Hello Everyone

                              Happy Valentines Day!!

I made some cards to send out to friends and family.  I did case the Milkshake card from the internet.  

The stamps and dies are from Stampin' Up.  

The gold squares on the first card are the "waste" from die cutting the basket weave on the background in gold. I layered the gold paper over adhesive sheets to make adhering easier.  And the little squares were just so cute, I could not throw them away.  LOL

Stamp and punch for this card is Country Bouquet from SU.

I did some heat embossing on the hearts and sentiment with gold embossing powder.

This one is more on the masculine side.  

So happy you stopped by today.  See you next time!

Valentines for 2023

Manly Valentine's Day Cards

 Hello everyone,

Back today with my manly (or masculine) Valentine's Day Cards.  The cards would be appropriate for adult or child.  I used a cute truck stamp from the Stampin Up set called "Best Delivery". The sentiments are also in this set. I personalized the cards by matching the truck color to the color of the truck owned by the recipient.  Trucks were colored with copic markers. And I used up all my red decorative papers making my Valentines this year.  LOL 

So, hope you have enjoyed all the Valentines this year.  I will have more cards in the next post.  Maybe something humorous.  We all need a reason to laugh these days.  

See you soon.

Valentine's Day Card: Part 3

Hello Everyone,
Part 3 of my Valentine's is the card I made for my husband.  I used a stamp from Technique Junkies as the main focal point.

I paired this stamped heart with a plaid background paper.  I added some stamped swirls and distressed the edges with ink.  Finished off the card with a polka dot ribbon.

Also added some metal embellishments on the side.

Inside of card:

I hope you had some fun making a few Valentine's Day Cards.  I send them out to friends and family.  I think it is fun to share the love.   I just don't make the too mushy. LOL 
See you next time for an Eightieth Birthday Card.

Valentine's Day Cards: Part 2

Hello Friends,
Back today with the second Valentine's Day Card.  This card uses short pieces of ribbon for embellishment.  Great project to use up all those ribbon scraps. 

I used a stamp from My Sentiments Exactly on this card too.  See part 1 here. 
I cut short pieces of ribbon and glued them down.  I added the red ribbon over top as the banner stringer.

This card was fun to make.  I just love using ribbon on my projects.  And, this was a different way to incorporate ribbon.

Next post I will share the card I made for my husband.  See you then.

Valentine's Day Cards: Part 1

Hello Everyone! 
It seems to be that time of year again....Time for Valentine's Day cards.  I made a few this year.  Already sent them out to friends and family.  Today, I will share one of the cards.

I used a stamp from My Sentiments Exactly and some heart themed papers on this card.  I finished it off with a pretty bow. 

This was an easy card that went together quickly.  So, pretty fun to make.  Still loving all my My Sentiment Exactly stamps. 

Check back in a few days for the second card.  I made a total of 3 different designs on 9 cards. 
Have a sweet day!

My Valentine

Hello Everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

This is the card I made for my Valentine.  ( Aww, how sweet.)  

The inspiration for this card was the ribbon with the silver hearts.  I have had this ribbon for quite a while and have not used much of it.  I decided it needed to be the focal point and not just an embellishment.  I laid it down over red cardstock warping it under the edges of the cardstock.  I added a strip of polka dot decorative paper on the opposite side of the card.

I added a big sheer bow and a stamped heart to complete the card.

Hope you have a lovely Valentine's day.  See you soon for a sweet birthday card with bunnies.

Valentine's Day Cards Watercolored

Hello Friends,
Today, I wanted to share three more of the cards I made for friends and family.  I used the "Roses for You" stamp set (Simon Says Stamp).  I added the heart from the set on the first card.  Sentiments are from My Sentiments Exactly.
(See three more cards on my first Valentines post here)

To get this look I stamped the image with Versa Mark ink on Mixed Media Paper.  Then heat embossed with white powder on the first and second cards and black powder on the last.  I used Distress inks with a wet brush to paint on the color.

Heart die cuts were used on this card for layers and a foiled paper.

Thanks for stopping by!  I have one more Valentine's day card that I will post tomorrow.  Hope you have enjoyed my Valentine's day cards.  See you next time.
