You and Me

This is probably my favorite Valentine card this year, although it was probably the most difficult. Difficult because of all the little pieces that have to be put together or maybe because the eyes are so small.  Really, other than that, the card goes together quick and cute.  The owls are from the Stampin' Up owl punch, the circle and scallop are from the Marvy punches, the leaf branch is from the sizzlet die from Stampin' Up and the sentiment is from Unity Stamps.  (Background paper was from a large glitter paper pack, brand unknown).  Thanks for looking!

Penguin Popsicle

This cute little penguin stamp set (and die) are by Papertrey Ink and given to me from my best friend for Christmas.  It is the cutest set ever.  This card could be used for so many different occasions; friendship, Valentines or just a note on a hot day. This small card packs a big punch on cuteness!

Glittered Polka Dots and Flower

This sparkly card was made with the die cut "Fun Flowers from Stampin' Up.  After I die cut the flowers, I embossed them with a cuddlebug embossing folder and distressed the edges.  The leaves were made with the large oval punch (Stampin' Up), folded in half and then run through a crimper.  The sentiment tag was made with the large oval punch as well.  A little cream satin ribbon finishes off this cards.  Thanks for looking!

Funky Flower

Here's a sample of some funky flowers I made on the Cricut with the George and Basics cartridge.  I love this flower, it is one of my all time favorites.  After I cut the flowers, I dry embossed them with a cuddlebug embossing folder for a little textured look.  I attached them with a big sparkly gem brad.  The flower is mounted on a red square that has also been embossed.  The funky background paper was just something I have had and wanted to use up.  The big chuncky "HELLO" sentiment is from Stampin' Up.  Thanks for looking!

Victorian Flower Card

Here is a victorian looking card I made using the die "Fun Flowers" from Stampin' Up.  After I die cut the flower, I embossed it with a Cuddlebug embossing folder.  I distressed the edges and attached them with a lace and pearl brad.  The leaves are made from the large oval punch from Stampin' Up, folded in half and crimped.  Lastly, I added a little organdy ribbon off to the side of the card.

Jenni Bowlin Vintage Valentines




Here are a few supplies that I just love!  I ordered some vintage valentine bingo cards from Jenni Bowlin.  I then found a paper pack at Hobby Lobby also by Jenni Bowlin that matches perfectly.  I used some of the flower embellishments I made a few days ago with Stampin' Up's "Fun Flowers" die.  I used black paper and some dyed newspaper (dyed with "Mel's Dinner" glimmer mist from Tattered Angels).  I put a pearl gem in the centers.  I used some wrinkle ribbon from my stash and some red flower embellishments (from Michaels). Thanks for stopping by.  Happy creating!

Ladybug Kit



Here are some of the things I made from  a Ladybug Valentine kit. I used the cartridge  Create A Critter from Cricut.  I used the cute little ladybug to made some cards, a notebook, a treat bag and more.  I have also been making these little paperbag pocket envelopes to put all the valentine treats in.  The sentiment is from the set Bugs and Kisses (retired Stampin' Up) and the glitter hearts are punched with a Stampin' Up punch from their red glitter paper.
