Happy Valentines


Wanted to share the Valentines card I made for Allan this year. Dug into some old Designer Series Papers (Western Sky) I bought at the workshop we had a Mona's house. Boy! That's a few years ago I think. CASE'd this card from Splitcoaststampers which used the same papers. Cut the circle shapes, hearts and stars on the Cricut.
Thought it turned out pretty cute. Kind of masculine but still managed to squeeze in the hearts. Nice to spend some time thinking about what a good guy he truly is.

RECIPE CARD
Stamps: For All You Do
Paper: Western Sky DSP, Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink: Blue Bayou
Tools/Techniques: George Basic Shapes & Accent Essentials Cricut cartridges

LOVE is in the air


Valentines day is just around the corner.  I'm spending a cozy day in the craft room working on organizing my Stampin Up supplies and getting ready for all the new stuff that's on the way.  Also waiting for inspiration to hit me with an idea for a card for my sweetie.  Geez! I hope it comes soon!

This card is one Marcia (my upline) gave me to welcome me to the SU family.  I just love it.  It's a stamp set that is from the 2010 Holiday Mini.  I didn't get a chance to order it but hopefully SU will see fit to include it in the next big catalog.  If not, I guess we'll just improvise with what we have.
