Kids Valentine's Cards

 Well, tomorrow is Valentine's Day.  We  hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with fun and surprises!  I made these two cards for Jennifer and Juan.  I saw Jennifer McGuire do a video with the new Concord & 9th Pop Heart Turnaround stamps and dies and decided to try it out!


I have one other turnaround stamp set and after watching her video I decided to get the jig that they made to help you with the technique.  It was definitely a game changer.  I used dye ink and craft ink and was pleased with the result.


I took her advice and cut 4 white layers for the words to make them stand out and then used the white craft dye ink to stamp on the letters.  I think it made such a difference.


For my inside sentiment, I used SU's Heart to Heart stamps.  When  I was stamping my card front I used a 6" x 6" CS and then cut it down to an A2 size which left me nice pieces to use on the inside.



Here is the card that I made for Jennifer using the same technique.



We  got 10" of snow yesterday but thankfully the temperature is warm today and half of it is gone!  If course Joe's truck with the plow decided not to run so he had to use the snow blower which is too small for the job which is why we got the plow a few years ago!  Always something!!  The rest of the week is suppose to be warmer, so hopefully it will all be gone sooner than later.

Thanks for stopping by,



Nancy

These are so cute! They're just perfect little Valentines. I can hardly believe you did the background with a turnabout set. It looks like designer paper. Love the die cut and layered sentiments. Very fun! That's a lot of snow you got overnight! Great time for the truck to stop running, sheesh. Happy Valentine's Day to you!
