Love Always

How about a little Valentine's Day card? I admit it's early but if the stores can start selling Valentine's Day stuff in December than I am right on time.

I decided not to go with traditional red/white/black and pink color schemes, instead I thought a fun rainbow color would be a nice switch up.

I gave the flowers a little dimension by using a stylus tool to push down the centers and used enamel dots for the centers. I also popped up the scallop heart to give it a little more interest.



And there you have it my first Valentine's Day card for 2017.

A few more Valentine's Day cards

Ever since I was able to finally lay my hands on the Harvest Mouse stamps set from My Favorite Things I envisioned that I could alter them just a bit to fit the holidays. So I took this little guy carrying leaves and changed them to tiny little hearts. They are hard to see but I piled them in and had a few falling from the basket.

This card I designed for my dh. Guy cards always seem to be hard to make for Valentine's Day cards since I would think they aren't too fond of getting a frilly pink cards, or at least my husband doesn't. I do like the combo of grey and pink and found some pp that matched the grey I was using. And for some reason it made me feel a bit of a tropical theme was going on so I did add a few tiny confetti flowers. Hopefully it's not too feminine for him. And if you can keep a secret I will tell you that I purchased tickets to Jersey Boys to see on Valentine's Day. I am kind of excited about giving them to him. I bought the tickets late last summer and have been holding them waiting for my grand surprise moment. I did tell him I had plans but he's probably forgotten about it at this point.

A few more Valentine's Day cards

So I think I have officially put my December Daily on my long list of stuff to do, not good but right now I am trying to get more items available for my Etsy shop so my time and energy has been spent sewing.

But I am still being bitten by the pink bug so I couldn't help making a few more cards. I really should have been making some Thank you cards, but alas that's not what my heart wanted to do.

I have also been loving the splatter look so I have been playing around with different styles.

I used mostly Papertrey Ink dies and stamps except for the textured hearts, those actually are from Sizzix. I received the die free with something and at the time I kind of dismissed them because I thought they just embossed, I didn't realize they actually embossed and cut out (swoon)!

Valentine's Day Cards

Ok after I broke out my copics and was digging around for some pp and stamps I started getting in the mood for a little V-day cards. So armed with way too many supplies for inspiration I ended up just making a few simple cards.

I bought this stamp last year way past Valentine's Day on some sale so I was happy to use it.

 

And this was a combination of some fun confetti stamps from Papertrey Ink to make that background, plus I found a few heart stamps to add to it. I have decided I don't own enough pink colored inks. I did manage to make out with what I had but adding some pink to the shopping list.
