Stripes and Circles

 

Hello and welcome. Today’s card, actually I made 2, are just because cards for our 2 kids. We usually send them a Valentine with little cash so they can enjoy a nice ‘romantic’ dinner. Well, this year we didn’t so they will be getting a just because card so they can enjoy a just because dinner.

All pp is from my stash. I decided to run the background piece through a Sizzix ef. I never embossed pp before but I kind of like it. Circle dies used are Stitched Circles from Die-namics. Red strip was run the Tiny Bubbles ef by Cuttlebug.

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate your visits. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Glittery Birthday

 

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is for our breakfast server. She’s a glittery kind of gal so just had to have glitter on her card. I had seen several versions of this card on Pinterest. For the strips I covered 1/4′ double back tape with glitter. Sentiment is from Gina K’s Birthday Blessings set heat embossed with Stampendous Marcasite Opaque ep. Flower is Spellbinders Tattered Blossoms. To my surprise I found a small piece of shiny pink cs in just the right shade of pink for the flowers. To get the right size punch for the flower center I used SU’s Owl punch. Flower is popped up. Inside sentiment “it isn’t the birthday that’s important, it’s the person… let’s celebrate you! Because she was recently married, I couldn’t resist adding “Happy first Birthday as a married woman.”

I'm entering this in Colorful Options challenge.

Thanks for stopping by I so appreciate you taking the time. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.

Hello and welcome. Today’s card is the last one for grand/great-grand kids this year. This one will go to our 13 year old great-grandson.

For the pocket I Googled jeans pocket clip art. Pocket was printed then fussy cut. So I could kind of tuck the hearts inside the pocket I just popped up the top corners. Pocket hearts are from Sweet and Sassy Thinlits by SU cut from scrap pieces of pp. Borders are a SU borders punch. Background is embossed with Cuttlebug’s heart ef.

Slimline Valentine

 

Hello and welcome. I've been away from this blog too long it's good to be back.

Today's card is for my grandson. Masculine Valentines are always a bit of a challenge for me. When I went to attach the red layer, I discovered I had only cut the card base 3 1/4" instead of 3 1/2. But I went with it anyway. Heart dies are Sweet and Sassy Thinlits by Stampin Up. Largest hearts are popped up. Small hearts a small hand punch. Background layer and die cut hearts were run through a woodgrain ef by Cuttlebug. Sentiment was printed on the computer. I'm making a second on for my 17-year-old great-grandson.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon. Have a great day and stay healthy & safe.
