Love You Valentine Cards

Happy Valentine's Day!
Valentine's day is only a few days away,

so here are my last Valentine cards that I have to show you.

For both of these cards, I used inked background pieces

from my stash to die cut the hearts.
I used a silver metallic card stock for the

background on this one.

For this card I used a simple card stock background and

used dash lines to accent the heart and edges of the card.

I die cut the "love you"  and adhered it to vellum and fussy cut the 

"shadow" on the first card, this second card, I die cut the 

sentiment from gold vellum.

Inside, as with all my Valentine cards,

I used a 

Dyan Reaveley Alpha Stamp Set

for the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by,

I hope you will come again soon.

You never know what you will find here at

Until we meet again,

have a happy Valentine's Day and 

eat some chocolate.

Hi all!

My last post was a card where I used the same technique as I used for this card.

I said I'd be posting the other card with this technique and here it is.

This is a technique I learned from Kristina Werner in 

this video.

I made this card to give to my husband, Dave.

Back in February I made a big decision, I decided to have 

weight loss surgery.  If you are interested in my story of why and

how things have played out since then, there is a tab at the top of my 

home page for "My Weight Loss Journey"

feel free to read it if you care to.

From the moment I said to him that I wanted to do it,

he has been very supportive.  He has encouraged me all the way.

When I had the surgery on June 6th, he was right there by my side.

He has been a huge help and support in this journey and I wanted to just

let him know, even in just this little way.

He has been my rock through the entire process and I know he will continue

to be there for me.

I love how this card turned out and I hope he will love it

as much as I do.

Just a little way to say Thank You to the best husband ever!

I hope you will try something that is a little out of your comfort zone.

I know a lot of people are intimidated by water colors,

but just give it a try and you'll be amazed at how easy it can be.

Hop over and check out the video with Kristina Werner

and try something like this yourself.

I hope you'll come again soon.

Birthday Slider Card

Hi!  I hope your having a good day!

We seem to be having some actual spring weather here in 

Western New York, let's hope it stays!

Hope you're having some nice weather too.

Today I have a birthday slider card to show you.

I used "Heart Balloon" (#5204) from Eureka! Stamps and 

"Love You" (#10301) and "Happy Birthday" set (#22803) from 

QKR Stampede

All the papers I used were from my scrap stash.

I stamped the balloons on scraps of patterned paper

then fussy cut them.

This was a fun card to create.

I love that it slides to reveal another sentiment.

I'm entering this card in the 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

of April 2, 2014

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you have enjoyed this post and will come again soon.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Dangling Hearts

Hello all!

Do you realize that Valentine's Day is just a little over a month away?

Have you started you cards yet?  Do you usually make Valentine's?

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.

Today's card is made with

Love You (#10301) from QKR Stampede.

This image can easily be used as a Valentine or for any occasion when you just want to say I Love You!

The image comes in 3 parts.  I cut the 3 components apart and use them separately. The sentiment is stamped directly on the white card stock, the rag doll is stamped onto another piece of white card stock and colored with water color crayons.  The heart is stamped 3 times onto red card stock.

I fussy cut the doll and the hearts.

The doll is adhered with foam tape as well as the heart she is holding.  The others are adhered with glue dots. 

I pierced each heart and the letters above with a paper piercer and used 'baker's twine' that I made to "hang" the hearts.

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you have enjoyed this card and will come back soon.

Now why not pop into the QKR Stampede shop and see what you can find to make your Valentine's Day cards with. Or for that matter any other cards, there are a lot of great images there.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
