CAS Valentine Card

I still have some Valentine cards that I haven't posted - here is one of the Clean And Simple ones I did this year:

Pink A2 card stock base, red panel and pink patterned paper. The Stampin' Up hearts were punched out of the pink patterned paper, so the red from the mat below shows through.

It still needed 'something' though, so I outlined inside the hearts and around the pink patterned paper with a glitter gel pen. The panel was wrapped with a red grosgrain ribbon then popped up with foam tape.

Words stamp by Verve.

Heart Valentine Card

I'm back with another scheduled post today to share another Valentine card.

 

The heart was Cricut cut (I can't remember which cartridge), and stamped with the top of a swirly tree stamp for the flourishes. It was popped up on a red Stardream panel, which was attached to a ribbon wrapped flourished patterned paper panel. The whole thing was then attached to the front of a folded A2 card.

The heart was sprayed with glimmer mist, which gives it a nice shimmer and coordinates nicely with the pearlized red panel.

Heart Flowers

It's the days before the wedding and things are hectic. So, last week I scheduled a couple of posts so I'd have something to share with you this week. Awhile ago, I found a box of polymer stamps at Walmart. It was a bulk purchase, limited time only, and this heart flower was on one of the sheets.

 

I used a pale grey textured 4.5 x 6" card for the base. The image was stamped on white card stock, coloured with Copic markers, and matted on a red scalloped piece. I'm enjoying my stash of Bakers Twine on cards recently as well!

I couldn't resist adding Stickles to the flowers. Once all the bling of Christmas is over, I find it hard to put away the glitter glue.  :-)

Lotsa Hearts Valentine Card

I had SO much fun making this Valentine, and the card came together in relatively short time. I knew I wanted to use the SU heart punch, which was in their Clearance Blitz. I'd had my eye on it for a long time, and when it came up in the Blitz I added it right to the shopping card. Score!

The patterned hearts were punched out of the patterned mat, as I knew the Top Note die cut would hide the heart shaped holes. The bottom half of the white die was embossed with a Sizzix plaid embossing folder, then lightly sponged with red ink. I traced over the stitching lines on the top half with a red pen.

The metallic heart in the very center was added with my iRock tool and I like the shimmer it adds the card.

Skunk Valentine

This is the card I made for my my hubby for Valentine's Day.

 

I'm very pleased with it, mostly because I didn't think I'd have time to make him one this year. This paper stack was next to the black and white one I've been working with for the wedding items, so I had a quick peek through it and this skunk paper jumped out at me. Now that I have such wonderful square envelopes to work with, I'm seeing my papers with fresh eyes.

It's a 5.25" square card, and I cut the red patterned paper at 5". The metallic heart was attached with my iRock tool, then I tied a black satin ribbon around the top edge.  The ribbon was out because of wedding items or I might not have thought of it!

The whole thing was attached with thick foam tape to the card.  Below is a peek at the inside, using a stamp from Gina K. I thought it worked well with the skunk image having open arms.

I used my SU heart punch again, and punched a scrap of the off-cuts to pop up inside.

It was a fun card to make, and "just what the Dr. ordered".  :-)

Valentine Sketch Card

They've done it again! The latest sketch at the Clean and Simple Stamping Blog is right up my alley, and lends itself to many different occasions.  I'm INSPIRED!  Here is what they had to say about their sketch:

"Here's the sketch! Although I show 4 elements on the card, the idea is to just have a repeated element more than 3 times. I was trying to do something different from the usual clean and simple trio."

 

Wanting to use the Stampin' Up heart punch I got on their clearance rack, I decided this would be a perfect sketch for a Valentine card.  My Martha Stewart border punch also got used for this A2 card.

 

I just couldn't leave it alone though, and added Stickles around 2 of the hearts. I also used foam tape, of course.  The words are by Anne Made Designs. Inside, is a white panel matted with red and another punched heart.
