Valentines for Family

Hello Everyone!

Today I'm showing you the 

Valentine's cards I made for my family.

I don't always send out Valentine's, but 

I needed to make a couple and just decided to

keep going.

I just went with things I had available and

created as I went.
I'm pretty happy with the way they turned ou.

This one goes to my hubby.

This one to my son and daughter in law.

This one to my daughter and son in law.

This one to my granddaughter.

This to my grandson.

and this one to my 

100 yr old Aunt Marilyn.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you have enjoyed your time and

been inspired in some way.

Do you send out Valentine's Day cards?

Hope to see you again soon.

Until then,

have a LOVEly Valentine's Day!

 

Hogs & Kisses and a Card From the Elves

Hello and Welcome!

Today I have a couple cards that were created

as special Valentine cards

My grandchildren have Elves that visit at 

Christmas time.  They are always sad to see them

leave after Christmas.
I thought they would like to receive a card from

them for Valentine's day,

so I made this one.
I wrote a not inside and signed it from 

Bernadette and Bernard.
I think they will be very surprised to receive it.

This card was made and sent to a school in

Ohio.  A friend posted that they class was

trying to get cards from all states, so I 

decided to be sure they had one from 

New York.
I think it tuned out pretty cute.

I used a simple sentiment inside the card,

then signed my name and where I live.
I hope they got at least one from each state.

Thanks for stopping in today,

and I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

make a card and give someone a smile.

 

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
Kristie Kreates.

Until we meet again,

have a happy Valentine's Day and 

eat some chocolate.

Be My Valentine Card

Welcome!

Valentine's Day isn't far off, I hope you have started

your Valentine cards.  Here is one that I made and

wanted to share with y'all.

I made the background by inking with a stencil I

made, onto card stock.  Once all the circles were

on the card, I put more ink lightly over the entire front

of the card. 

I punched out some hearts from silver card stock,

with a little heart punch

and adhered them to the front of the card

along with the 
Be my Valentine sentiment.

This sentiment is from my stash and I don't have a

clue where it came from.

Inside I stamped 
Happy Valentine's Day

with a Dyan Reaveley Alpha Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by today,

come again soon.

Until then

make some cards.

You Are My Sunshine Valentine Card

Hello y'all!

Today I have another Valentine's Card to show you.

The back ground is a piece of alcohol inked 

glossy card stock from my stash.

I die cut a heart and off set it to the right to give a

little more interest to the card.

I stamped the sentiment and drew my dash lines and

all that was left was to adhere it all to a white card base,

and of course, stamp a sentiment inside.
The Happy Valentine's Day inside was stamped with 

a Dyan Reaveley alpha stamp set

I love this stamp set, it is quite large, but it works for me.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you will stop again to see what I'm up to.

Until then,

use your stash!

 

You Make My Heart Smile Valentine Cards

Hello everyone!
Today I have a couple more Valentine cards to show you.

I used a piece of alcohol inked card stock from my stash

as a background.

I cut the heart our with a die and my Cuttlebug,

stamped the sentiment onto it and added little

dash lines around the heart.
It was adhered with foam tape to the front of

the card.

This card was even simpler to make.

I found the paper with the red flower petals around

the edge in my stash and used that as a front panel.

Stamped the sentiment, I adhered it to

a red card base and it was done.

For both cards I stamped 

Happy Velentine's Day

on the inside with a
Dyan Reavely alpha set

Easy peasy cards,

just use what you have, use up that

stash and people will love these cards much more

than something bought from a store.

Little Envelope Message Valentine Card

Hello craft lovers!

Today I have a Valentine card to show you.

Valentine's Day will be here before we know it and if

you are sending out cards, it's time to start getting

some ideas.

This card was actually very simple to make.
I punched out some hearts and made a few little

envelopes.

The background was a piece from my stash, red is always

good for a Valentine's Day card.
I stamped greetings inside the little envelopes and

closed them with washi tape.

Hearts and envelopes were adhered to the front of

the card.
Happy Valentine's Day was stamped inside and

it was ready to go.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have

been inspired in some way and will come again soon.

Until next time,

think red!

 

Valentine for Marie

Hello Everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This year I have the pleasure of having a

very special Valentine.

It's our first Valentine's Day with our Granddaughter.

I decided that I wanted to knit her a sweater and I had

been eyeing this yarn for quite a while.

I finally found the pattern book I wanted and

bought the yarn and made the sweater.

This was my first cardigan and although it isn't 

perfect, I do love how it turned out.

If I were to make another one for her, I wouldn't put as many

buttons on it, I think the 8 they suggested was a little bit too much

and I'm not crazy for how they sit, but I think for a first

cardigan, I did a pretty good job.

I wanted to have different colored buttons, but couldn't 

find all the colors I wanted, so I went with the yellow buttons

and sewed them on with yarn that matched the stripe they 

were on.

Here is the card I made to go with the sweater.

I found a colorful piece in my handmade background stash,

then embossed the 

Filagree Heart

with purple Wow embossing powder

The sentiment is from a set I got on clearance

without a package, so I have no idea who made it.

I also heat embossed the edges of a piece of card

stock with the same powder to use as a mat for the

image.
