More Valentines

Here are 2 more Valentines. Sorry it took a couple of days. I had some trouble with my digital photo card reader on my desk top. I think I've figured out what's up, so I'll try to get a couple more ides tomorrow and catch up. This first one uses the Polka dot Punches set that is available during Sale-a-bration. It has 4 stamps that fit perfectly inside Stampin' Up! punches. Very cute. The second card uses Stampin' Up!'s Top Note Sizzix Bigz Die as a background for the heart. It also uses the stamp set A Happy Heart. Hope you'll find some ideas here.

Valentine Frenzy Begins!

I know, it's still 10 days away, but if you're out of Valentine ideas, check back with the blog over the next few days and see some samples. I'll try to keep them coming through next week (skipping the weekend, of course.) Hopefully, some of them will inspire you. Valentine number 1 uses the set called A Happy Heart. Real Red and Caramel make a different color combination. The "heart-i-lion" stamp is first inked in Creamy Caramel, then I used a Real Read marker to highlight the text and the hearts. The chipboard heart is covered with Real Red Craft Ink and then heat dried. I had planned to emboss it with clear embossing powder, but my clear powder has some silver in it that's been hard to remove. Here's the rest of the recipe. Happy mid-week.

Ink: Real Red (Classic and Craft stamp pads and marker), Creamy Caramel
