A CAS Valentine



I think this will be my last valentine themed post for a while.  I decided to make a CAS card here at the end of the valentines.  This card was created with red cardstock die cuts using my Divinity Designs Tulip Heart die.  I layered three die cuts on top of each other, gluing them down to create this fantastic focal point backed with a light dusting of pink ink radiating from the heart.  It was rough to capture the shading behind on camera, but the finished product is quite lovely.  A simple sentiment strip for accent and this CAS designed card is done.

'Tis the season of love and it is only a few short days away.  Here's hoping your valentine treats you well for the holiday.

I'm entering this card into Crafter's Castle February Challenge 14 Anything Goes.

Farmer's Market Valentine


Maybe you are all very excited to here that?  Either way, I have a combination of Papertrey Ink Farmer's Market Floral stamps and dies tucked behind the Papertrey Ink You Have My Heart stamp and die sets positioned over a Simon says Stamp This is the Life die cut frame.  I think this might be my favorite from this year's cards.

I'm going to enter this card into Papertrey Ink's Transformation Tuesday.  I made this card last year and decided to make a twist on that version this year.

Everyday Love Cards


I decided to have a little watercolor fun in making some more everyday love notecards.  This time I white, heat embossed onto a die cut watercolor paper using my Papertrey Ink With Love mini stamp set.  I used my Mission goal watercolor to color the images and then gold, heat embossed the sentiment.






The pink cardstock card base was die cut using my WPlus9 Sunshine Layers die.  It makes for the perfect simple background for the die cut shaped sentiment frame raised with a foam sheet to match.  Simple and easy to put these cards together with some rough twine along the edge.

Enclosure Cards for Valentine's Day







I had an idea for some enclosure cards for the store where I'm selling my handmade cards.  These simple cards were meant to have a quick creation because the price point would be low.  I used my Papertrey Ink You Have My Heart stamp set and Greeting Farm Tweety Pie stamp set. 






I used my Polychromos colored pencils to color in these images on colored cardstock card bases.  I absolutely love how they turned out. 



These last two, I didn't get a a good picture, but happened to have this poorly lit one on my phone. Such Valentine's Day fun!

Quickly popping in to share this valentine card made creating a dry embossed frame using my WPlus9 Sunshine Layers die set on a pink cardstock card base inked with pink hink for effect.  The heart was die cut using my Papertrey Ink You Have My Heart die set stamped with my Papertrey Ink Farmer's Market Florals stamp set.
