Be My Valentine

 I have a valentine card to share today.  I made this for a couple of challenges and used 3 different SU stamp sets - Meant to Be (top white heart and inside sentiment), Heartfelt (red scallop heart and heart dies), Always in My Heart (for the sentiment and banner die cut).

ETA: My card was chosen as one of the winners at Make the Card Challenge.

The red panel is embossed with an older Darice EF.  The die cut banner is stamped in Real Red ink and folded on the crease lines.  I glued the folds, added a red rhinestone, and mounted the banner with foam tape.  The hearts are also stamped in Real Red ink and die cut with the matching dies.

Here is a photo of the inside.

I will link to Make the Cards Challenge - Create a Valentine.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Valentine (please be mine)

Hello friends.  Today I have a Valentine card to share.  I used Spellbinders Lace Hearts.  The sentiment is an older SU stamp and the DSP is from SU Stacked With Love pad (retired).  The mats and scallop heart are cut from SU Real Red CS.  I added a Bakers Twine bow and some little red dots with Nuvo Drops.  This card will be going to our Pastor's wife at our Valentine Banquet this weekend.   I also stamped her favorite Bible verse inside, and I  made a different card for our Pastor.

I am linking my card at The Paper Players Valentine theme 

and Just Us Girls Love challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Valentine's Day Card

Hello friends.  Today I am sharing a card I made for an upcoming card class I am doing at our church.  Since it is Valentine's Day next month I thought they would enjoy making a Valentine card, plus we will be making a couple of other cards.  I went by the December Viva la Verve sketch but altered it a bit. I used a rectangle and added the two hearts for the circle elements.

ETA:  Here is a better picture I was able to take today which shows the true colors.

  I had to take the photo inside and the color is not as bright as it should be, as it is a cold and dreary day here in Florida.  I know it is even colder in most states and even in North Florida.  I used retired SU red stripe paper, and some older Making Memories black dotted paper.  The hearts are cut with The Cat's Pajamas Heart Trio die.  The sentiment is from Verve's Love Notes and the heart border is from Verve's Scallop Trim Trio die set.  The white panel is embossed with a Darice EF.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Love for JUGS #226

I made my card using this week's Just Us Girls #226 sketch challenge.

ETA:  Yea, my card won Chic of the Week at JUGS

 

The card base and mats are MFT Smooth White CS.  The DSP is from Recollections Valentine 6x6 pad. I used Spellbinders Heart and Scallop Heart dies and embossed the Pink Pirouette heart with the Cuttlebug Cross My Heart EF.  The arrow and letters are from 2 Valentine stamps from Michaels.  The love had two doves & a heart also, but I just fussy cut the letters out and used them on my heart.  I also altered the arrow and cut it apart to look like it was going through the heart.  They are mounted with foam dimensionals.  The ribbon and bow are from my stash. Card size is 5" square.

 

I am also linking up with the following challenges:

Happy Stamping,

MFTWSC107 - You Are The Only One For Me

 

    I made a Valentine card with this week's MFTWSC107 sketch. (oops, I just noticed that I left off the little flag element, but it still follows the sketch).  I think this will be my hubby's valentine as he is the Only One For Me.   We will be married 50 years in July.

I used SU Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla cardstock.  The heart border is Rose Red CS and the papers are from my new My Mind's Eye Love Me pad that I got at Michael's this weekend.  The heart border is made with MFT Layered Heart Border and the sentiment is from this month's free Triple Scoop Set (free with a $60 order from MFT).  The sentiment panel is cut with Spellbinder's Classic Oval and mounted with foam tape to a Classic Scallop Oval, and then mounted to the card base with more foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
