Blooming Love Valentine Card

No one felt like going outside over the weekend with all the snow, cold and ice, so I started making some Valentine cards. Fortunately, we didn't lose our power.  I am a big fan of eclipse cards, so when I saw this over at Pinterest I knew I had to CASE it.  For the measurements, I cut Real Red 4 1/4" x 11"  and scored it at 5 1/2".  The measurements for the Basic Black are - 3 1/8" x 4 7/8" and Whisper White is 3" x 4 3/4". 

I used SU's Blooming Love stamp set and stamped the larger heart in Real Red offset to each other.  Then using my Large Letter Framelits, I cut out LOVE.  I liked the fact that each letter had some stamping on it.  I first adhered the Whisper White to the Basic Black and then used my foam adhesive strips to pop up the letters gluing down the space in the O last.  These adhesive strips are a must have when making these cards!

I love these colors together.  For the inside sentiment, I used the Sealed with Love SU stamp set and decorated the bottom with another Blooming Love stamp.

For once, I feel like I'm moving right along.  Jennifer and her friends and teachers are finished, I started some cards and actually know what I'm going to make the Wellness Center.  Yeah!!  It is so bitter cold here, but I have to admit it looks so pretty outside - as long as I'm inside!!

Valentine Day Card

I have one more card that I made with the Blooming Love set.  The base card for this one is made with SU's Pink Pirouette.  This is such a soft color.  The layer is 3 3/4" x 5" of Whisper White CS.

I cut  2 strips of White Glimmer paper 5" x 1/2" and glued them down the left side of my card.  After I adhered my heart, I die cut some small flowers from the glimmer paper as well.  I decorated them with some rhinestones and adhered them on the heart.  I used dimensionals to pop up the layer.

My sentiment I placed on the bottom of the card.  I really like how this card turned out.  There are so many ways you can use this set of dies.

I entered this card in Dies R Us Challenge #66 Hearts.

Blooming Love Valentine Day Card - Blackberry Bliss

I'm back again today with another card I made with one of my favorite die!  You can make so many different designs with this die!  I had die cut hearts in different colors and decided to use my white hearts on this card.

I used SU's Blackberry Bliss CS for the base on my card and the layers with matching DSP.  Before I adhered it, I cut in from the one side and then folded the cut pieces back to the corners. I love how this looks.  I adhered my heart and then placed some die cut flowers from the same die on the heart decorating them with some rhinestones.  I thought it needed something else, so I used my SU butterfly punches to place on the heart decorating them as well with some rhinestones.

I used my # of Years die again for the sentiment as I did for my other cards.  I liked how the colors of the CS made the white heart stand out.  Well, back to making some goodies for the Wellness Center.  Hope you are having a good week.

I entered this card in two Challenges:

Cardz TV Anything Goes Designers Challenge #1

Blooming Love Valentine Day Card - Pink

What crazy weather we are having lately.  We had several days of freezing weather, then snow last night and now today it is so nice and warm outside.  Not that I'm complaining, as I know out west things are not good!  I decided to start making some Valentine Day cards using my Blooming Heart Thinlets.  I had purchased them last year.   The large heart didn't cut right and by the time I got a replacement the holiday was over, so I'm going to make up for lost time.

The first card is very simple and basic, but I love how the soft colors worked together.

I used SU's Crumb Cake for the basic card and Pink Pirouette for the layer.  My heart was cut out in Whisper White.

I used the die from # of Years to cut out my greeting and die cut some small flowers as well decorating them with some rhinestones.  I felt like it needed something else and found some thin twine and tied a simple knot.  I'm happy to say that my thinlet worked like a charm!  Hope everyone is safe and sound with this crazy weather,
