Valentine for challenges

This is an A2 card (4.25" x 5.5"). It is a valentine for my friend, Jenny, who has been with me thru thick and thin! We have been friends for over 20 years and what ever one of us goes thru, so does the other. When ever anyone talks about "best friends" I think of her. She is one of those people who will do anything she can when ever you need her.
The card base is Bazzill bling cardstock. The patterened paper in the center is wallpaper border (how green is that!). The green paper is from DCWV-"Shimmer Stack". The white cardstock is bargain brand from ACMoore. I ran that thru the Cuttlebug with the "textiles" embossing folder. The sentiment stamp is from a clear set by "My Sentiments Exactly". I stamped it with a lime green ink by Nicole crafts, cut it apart, mounted each word seperately on the Bazzill cardstock and adhered them to the white paper. The butterfly is cut with the Cricut and Gypsy Wanderings cart. I cut 4 layers in different papers and only glued a small area so it could fly a bit. The hearts are paper clips that I just had to have from somewhere and have never used. The ribbon roses are by Offray.

Valentine for challenge

I made this valentine for several challenges. My daughter, Rachel, wanted a valentine card for her boyfriend, but didn't want much pink on it. She picked the papers. The base is from DCWV, the rest of the papers are from my stash. I finally used my gypsy! I welded "valentine" together using the "upright" function on the Opposites Attract cartridge. The mug is cut from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge. I used the hide feature so I could get the cuts I wanted in the different papers. I put Stickles on the shadow of the steam to add a little definition. The edge punch I used is from EKSuccess, I think.The inside of the card reads-"I think you're HOT! Rachel thought my pun was pretty lame at first, but I think it grew on her a little. At least she said to go ahead and make the card. lol

Happy Valentine's Day

Well, Ron and I were going to go out to dinner tonight for Valentine's Day, but I picked up a virus and I'm not going anywhere! Getting sick sure does put a kink in the plans, but we'll just go another time. I had a few bites of breakfast, a piece of toast for lunch and have been resting and drinking lots of tea. At least I have a beautiful tea pot and a lovely mug for my tea! I haven't made any cards for the last few days, but I have been giving them away! Mother and Daddy had their Anniversary yesterday and Ron took my card and some flowers to them-I already wasn't feeling well, so I didn't go along. My friend Ginny came up for lunch on Thursday (her birthday) and I gave her one of the birthday cards I made and the Valentine's Day card with the chocolates on the front. Now I need to get busy and make some more, but I think it will wait 'til I feel a little better. Maybe I'll knit something this afternoon! Hope you have a great day today!

Valentine's cards

I've made 4 valentine's cards in the last few days. 2 of them are basically the same with some color variations. I used the question mark cut from the Storybook Cricut cartridge, pp from DCWV Glitter stack, cuttlebug hearts embossing folder and a Studio G stamp on these.


For this one I cut the heart with the Cricut, again using Storybook cartridge, same paper for the background and the stamp is from Heidi Grace.


On this one I used a stamp from Inkadinkadoo, stamped twice and the wing cut out and popped on foam tape, cut the marquee shape from coordinating papers with Storybook and popped them also. The "love" stamp is frrom Studio G. I inked on lots of the papers, and used a Martha Stewart (MS) edge punch for the lace edge. The inside sentiment was computer generated, and I inked the edges of the plain cardstock and the patterened paper. I think I'll give this one to my hubby.
