Here is one more card for today. This one is for my sweetie. Close to My Heart supplies used include:
The heart was sponged with cranberry ink, then covered with red glitter. The top piece was sponged on the edges with cranberry ink, which was also used 2nd and 3rd generation to stamp the bottom 3rd of the card using the Pemberley leaf stamp. Inside the card, a tried and true sentiment, also from the Pemberley set:
With best wishes to everyone for a blessed Valentine's Day. Adrienne
January and February are supposed to be months for catching up and catching one's breath. Well, THAT didn't happen around here. The minute the new year begins, papers start flying in preparation for (gulp) taxes, which means number crunching and less time for playing in the craft room!
Here are the cards I made for Valentine's Day this year for my grandchildren, using the Spring Holiday Card Cartridge (from 2011, still available on some websites). I cut them both at 4.3" high and also cut the white backs at 4.3" high. These were very simple cards to make and I know the children will be delighted with them.
For the "grown ups", I made a different card using the Paper Lace cartridge. I also embossed the card base with my Sizzix and various embossing folders.
Using a sponge dauber (Z726), I inked the edges with cranberry (Z116). The inside greeting is simply "Happy Valentine's Day" from last year's CTMH January Stamp of the Month (retired).
Thanks for joining me on this project. If you have any questions or comments, please share them with me. Adrienne
