Heart Valentine Day Card

 Well, we have had more nasty weather here, so I decided to start making some cards for Valentine Day.  Last year, I purchased a kit from Gina K called Luck and Love.  I made a St. Patrick's Day card with some of it but never used the Layering Heart stencils that were included.  I decided to play around with them and loved how they turned out.  Gina made a birthday card with the stamps that came in the kit - Frame Flora - so I decided to make them for Valentine Day.  

I used her Master Layout #1 to cut my layers and her Masking Magic 1/8" stripes to make a border before I did my stenciling.

I popped up some of the flowers and leaves over the sentiment strip which came from SU's Heart to Heart stamp set.

My inside sentiment was also from the same stamp set.  I didn't want to waste my extra leaves I had die cut, so added them as well along with some heart washi tape I had in my stash.  I was so happy how this card turned out!

Little Monkey Card

 Well, winter is definitely upon us!!  It is freezing here with snow from the last storm still on the ground, and more to come tomorrow.  While watching the snow fall the other day, I decided to make a fun card to have in my stash. 

I used a SU stamp set with matching punch.  My base layer is Chocolate Brown with my second layer in Very Vanilla.  I stamped the branch first and then layer some DSP from the Flowers and More pack.  I ended up fussy cutting the top monkey as the punch is only good for the one on the bottom and the bananas.  The greeting is also from the stamp set and I found some old gems that I thought would match.

For my inside, I used some more of the DSP and added some bananas.  Quick card except for the fussy cutting!  Pinterest has some cute ideas for these little monkeys, so I will be trying them soon.

Rudolph Christmas Card

 I almost forgot to post the Christmas cards I made for Jennifer and JJ.  I was looking in Pinterest for something to make for them and came across this adorable card.

I used SU's Real Red CS for my base card and then used Simon Says Filigree Snow Folder to emboss my second layer.  

For my Rudolph, I used a die set from Simon Says called Reindeer Parts.  It's hard to see, but I used some lacquer on his noise to make it nice and shiny!  I also tied a tiny jingle bell with some twine on his antlers.  

 For my sentiments, I used the same stamp set.  I think they turned out so cute!  We had about 8" of snow over the weekend but most of that will disappear with today's warm weather, rain and wind!  Ugh!! Hope all those in severe weather are safe and warm!
