Valentine Cards

I've created a few valentine cards I can't wait to share with you.

I loved how this card turned out.  The words are from a Silhouette file cutout.  The silver love and heart is a chain sticker, unfortunately I'm not sure who it is made by.   The heart and key are from Dress It Up Victorian Treasures.  Love these buttons!   The background paper is from DCWV Once Upon a Time paper pack set. 


The second card I did was for a friend of mine:

For this card I took a 8 1/2 by 11 white card stock and cut it in half.  Then I used Martha Stewarts scoring board to frame the card.   Then I used some scrap pink paper.  Using a stamp by Hampton Art.  Love these dollar stamps.  I first used a anti-static pillow to wipe over the surface.  The purpose of this is so that the embossing powder doesn't stick to anything but where I stamp it.  I then stamp the in Versamark embossing ink onto the paper.  Then I put Sweet Stamps white embossing powder generously over the stamped area and knocked off the excessed.   Then using a heat embossing tool I heat up the embossing powder. 

There is a embossed heart next to the words, but I wanted more punch.  So I used a heart sticker by Sticko.  Then on just the pink paper I pierced holes in each corner and added a small white heart brad.  These brads were by Marvy.  I then cut off one of the brad legs  that stuck out over the edge.  I used small Zots to attached the pink paper. 

To add a little more color I used a q-tip and chalked the score lines around the card.  I liked the add of color, but think next time I will ink it.

Another card I made for Valentine:

This card I started out a little differently.  I started out with the pink top piece of paper.  I like the muliple lines in this paper pack page.  I then built on the colors within the topper.  It had dark brown and blue stripes.  The following supplies were used:

• DMD paper pack
• VersaFine - Onyx Black
• StazOn - Timber Brown
• Copic - Tender Pink  RV13
• Copic - Frost Blue B00
• Jellyroll - #720
• SandyLion - heart stickers
• Craftsmart - flower hearts
• Hampton Art - Happy Valentine Day
• Brown ribbon

I used 8 X 5 1/2 piece of white card stock folded in half.   Personally I like to match the two ends up and fold.  I then make sure I have a crisp fold by going over it with a bone folder. 

The last valentine I will post today I did for a Valentine exchange for Hero Arts Flickr group.  Check them out you will see some great work and these ladies are so much fun!  Hero Arts Group

With the Hero Arts group it's about using Hero Arts products.   So the diecut in the middle, is a file I cut using my silhouette.  The file was made by Hero Arts.  I used Martha Stewart's border punch to get the lace look on the paper.  The pink hearts are stickers that I got in the dollar bin at JoAnn's.  The Happy Valentine's Day stamp is a dollar stamp by Hampton Arts.
