"Beary" Cute Card

One of the things I like about Valentine's Day is that it is not only for couples. You can make a sweet Valentine for anyone who's special for you. So, even though the card I'm posting today is more on the romantic side, you can change one of the sentiment phrases and use it for a friend, a family member, or a neighbor. Here it is.

Supplies used for this card
Paper: Scalloped red card and white cardbord
Tools: Cutting/embossing machine, Top Note die, colored pencil, glitter gel red pen
Stamps: Bear holding heart and sentiment I love you 'beary' much! (Stamping up), Happy Valentine's Day (Stampabilities)
Embellishments: Red and white twine

Thank you for stopping by, and have a very blessed day.

Valentine's Day Card with Doily

Sometimes, when it comes to cards and gifts we think that complicated, difficult and expensive will be the best. That's not true. Simple and/or unexpensive can be very good too. And when it comes to get inspired, look EVERYWHERE because an idea can come to you from something that you least expect. Just look at the card I'm posting today and where I got the idea from. 

The inspiration for my card came from the picture below, which by the way is an excellent idea. You will find the steps on how to make it at  Carolina Charm: Valentine Heart Brownie

Supplies used for the card

Paper: Brown-red and white cardstock

Tools: Cutting/ embossing machine (Sizzix), 2.5" circle punch (Recollections), heart punch (the Paper Studios), small polka-dot embossing folder( Cuttlebug), large 3D circle adhesive dots, clear glitter glue

Stamp: Happy Valentine's Day (Stampabillities)

Embellishments: Paper doily, punches and sentiment phrase

Get inspired and create.  Give a card with a brownie to that someone special, you will be glad you did.

Thank you for visiting my blog, and may God bless your day in a very special way.

Two Layers Heart Punch Card

I'm a little late with my projects for Valentine's Day, but here is an idea for a card. 

 Supplies used
Paper: white cardstock (2 layers), red polka-dots, love music and flowers scrap paper
Tools: Heart punch
Embellishment: Red ribbon, red and white twine, adhesive letters for the sentiment phrase.

Inside

You will need to use two layers of the white cardstock to make this card in order to "hide" the top inside pieces of ribbon and twine, and the bottom part of the red ribbon.

Thank you for stopping by, and may God bless you and yours.

Valentines Wedding Card

What could be better then a wedding to 'kick off' the romantic season? My neighbors are getting married on Valentine's Day, and I wanted to make a special card for them. I saw this idea on Pinterest and made my own version. I hope the bride and the groom will like it.

For some reason the picture didn't capture the fine glitter on the bride dress.

Supplies used for this card
Paper: Black and white cardstock, fine white paper for the inside.
Tools: Cutting/embossing machine, roses embossing folder, precision scissors
Embellishment: White and black pearls, paper roses and self adhesive lace
I had to use precision scissors to make the groom's tuxedo collar and the bow tie.

Thank you for checking my blog out, and God bless you.
