Lucky in Love

Yikes, it's already February. Where did the time go? I'd better get started on my Valentine's Day Cards.I have this Sweet Talk Postage Stamps paper from K & Co. that has been sitting in my pile of paper for a few years. So I decided to get started! Since I am so lucky in love I decided that I would use that stamp to make a card. My husband is the best, and I am truly lucky to have him. Plus he loves Vegas, so this is a great card for him.

 

 I cut out the stamp background with my Cricut, and the 4 card symbols, then added  the white paper punched with a Martha Steward edge punch. It's simple, but cute. Happy Crafting!

Valentine Cards for Kids with Cancer Blog Hop

Hi! Welcome to this very special Valentines hop. If you have arrived here from Doris's blog you are in the right place. If not please start from the beginning at http://decadesofscrap.blogspot.com. Today's hop is all about cards for kids. All of the cards you see in this hop will be sent to Jackson Memorial Holtz Children's Cancer Unit to give to the kids there for Valentines Day. Hopefully we can all put a smile on a child's face.


My project today is simple card I call Puppy Love:

I used patterned paper from  Pinecone Press, and three cricut cartridges. The postage stamp cut in the brown and striped layers is from Base Camp. The puppy and kitty and the "puppy Love" title are from Paper Pups. The banner across the bottom of the card is from Happy Hauntings. And of course I had to add googly eyes, this is for a child after all.

And of course I have a little blog candy for you:

I'm giving away some embellishments. All you have to do is leave a comment and be a follower. Easy!


I hope you enjoyed my project. Your next stop is Leslie. Happy Crafting!

An almost Valentines Card (but not quite)

Getting to into the mood for Valentines Day, although I missed the mark! Most of the people I showed this to though it was a bridal shower card. I was experimenting with colors and I think black and red would have been a better fit. Anyway, the bustier is from the Cricut Tie the Knot cart, and I just had to use it. It's very va-va-voom! Of course the flower I made myself (see my tutorial two posts ago) The edges of the card are chalked with Colorbox chestnut roan, and the lace is a Martha Stewart punch. I love Martha Stewart punches because they are just so easy to use.

More Valentines to come, and maybe something special in my future. (I might just be a professional crafter! he-he)

Anyway, I though I would include something old. This is a project I did a while back, and I stuck it in a frame and never put a picture to it. (I haven't been to the snow in years, although I say I am gonna go every season!) Nothin' fancy, but I though it was cute at the time.
