Heart Valentine Boxes

 I waited to post these cute little heart boxes until I had given them to the family.  The girls get notice of my posts and Rachel knew about my Christmas mittens before I gave them out, so I wasn't taking any chances this time!!  I can't remember when or where I saw a tutorial on these hearts but I thought they were perfect to give everyone for Valentine's Day.  I will date myself, but I remember when we used to see who would get the prettiest heart.  Years ago they made them in so many different colors and sizes with all different designs and materials.  The good old days!

 These were made with the Happy Heart Box die from Concord & 9th.  The bundle included the Love die and a bunch of other stamps and dies.  I made some in CS and some DSP.  I had these cute red bows in my stash and decided to decorate the top boxes with them.

I loved this old SU DSP that I had in my stash.

You make two identical hearts to complete the box.  

I filled them with different colored Hershey kisses.  

When I cleaned out my envelope drawer, I came across these cute Narrow Note cards and envelopes from SU which I had forgotten about.  

 I cut a layer of Whisper White for the front of the card and stamped these cute little Valentine's using SU's Hey Love stamp set.  I love the alligator!

For the inside sentiment, I used SUs Sealed with a Kiss stamp set.  I wrapped them all up in a cute heart baggie and they were good to go.

Jennifer went to Kalahari Resort Water Part this weekend.  We watched Daisy and everyone had a good time.  Here is a picture of her on the Flow Rider for the first time.  She loved it!  I was nervous just watching the video!

Lady Bug Valentine's Day Card

 Well, I'm finally finishing up my cards for Valentine's Day.  I'm still working on some other cute goodies, but I wanted to post this card that I made for my husband. 

I love lady bugs and made this card with the SU stamp set Little Lady's.  I loved how it turned out.   I used a few punches and some cute red hearts I found in my stash to decorate the front of the card.  The sentiment is from SU's stamp set - Heart to Heart.  I have fallen in love with this set!

For the inside sentiment,  I used the same stamp set along with its cute heart image.  I hope everyone has a great weekend and a wonderful Valentine's Day.

Heart Valentine Cards

 Here is another Valentine Card that I finished up over the weekend.  I really loved how these cards turned out.  Making Valentine cards always make me happy and these cards were no exception.

I used the Love Blossoms Paper Pack for the cards.  I love all the paper that is in this pack.  The tree stamp is from Judith's stamps that I had picked up at one of the local stamp shows.  

For my sentiments, I used SU's Heart to Heart stamp set.  I decided to emboss the sentiment in gold and punched out different color hearts to decorate the tree with one of SU's old punches.  The hardest part of this card was making the tiny bow out of twine! LOL!

I decorated the inside with some leftover paper and hearts.  

I love to stamp on the outside of the envelopes as well.  This stamp I also found at a stamp show years ago.  Well, February is here and we are moving towards Spring and I am delighted.  Have a great week!

Heart Valentine's Day Card

 This weekend I put together another card for Valentine's Day.  I saw it on Pinterest and thought how simple but cute is was, plus I was able to use up some more DSP scraps. That is always a plus!

I used SU's Real Red CS for my base card.  There are so many different colors of red out there but I love this color.  I embossed on Whisper White using my heart embossing folder. 

I used the Sweet & Sassy Dies from SU to cut out my hearts.  These dies were such a good investment.  I have used them so many times.  I used SU's stamp set Sure Do Love You for my sentiment and embossed it with some gold embossing powder.  I'm trying to use up all my old embellishments and I found these cute little hearts to add to the front of the card.

For my inside sentiment, I used SU's stamp set Sealed with Love again.  These Valentine sets are old but I really love them.  

It has been so cold and snowy here.  Here is a photo of Jennifer and Daisy keeping warm.

Love Letters Card

 I have a stack of things on my craft table that I have been trying to go through.  When I see a design I like or stamp set/die it usually sits there until I use it to make something.  The stack is actually starting to go down.  Today I came across this adorable stamp set and die that Jennifer McGuire used quite a while ago.  I just thought it was so cute.  Actually, Jennifer used the cute little pig stamps when she was stamping with me quite a while ago, so I thought it was time to put some ink on them.

I made this card for Jennifer.  We haven't seen her for awhile, so I thought this would be a perfect card.  When I was finished, I realized it would be a great Valentine Day card as well.  The stamp set is from Clear Basottel - Love Letters - and the die I purchased from Simon Says - Window Frames, Trio Window Die.  Jennifer loved the little pigs so I'm sure she will love this as well.  There are no dies for them and the hearts so I had to do some fussy cutting.  When I was searching for some goodies for the shaker part of the card I found some cute little pigs that I had.  Love it!

Here is the inside of the card.  I also used some Wink of Stella on my hearts to jazz them up.  Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe!

Panda Valentine Cards

 Can you believe that we are making cards for Valentine's Day?  That's really fine with me, as that means Spring is coming!  I saw this card on Pinterest and thought it was so cute.  I just consolidated my DSP and try to put all the holiday papers together so I knew exactly where my Valentine's paper stash was hiding.  I'm so proud of myself!!  

The two stamp sets I used where Party Pandas and Sealed with Love from SU.  

There was a lot of layering for this card.  There was no name listed but they were nice enough to give out the layers.  If you're interested in making it the layers are as follows:

Whisper White A2 card base 

Pink Diagonal - 5 1/4" x 4"

Black CS - 4 1/4" x 3 1/2"

Polka Dot DSP - 4" x 3 1/4"

Red CS - 3 1/4" x 2 1/2"

Melon Mambo - 3" x 2 1/4"

White CS - 2 3/4" x 2"

I also added some glimmer hearts to the front of the cards.

Here is the inside sentiment.  I added some washi tape I had in my stash.  I remember when Rachel and I were shopping years ago and she came across this tape which we added  to our collection.  I can't believe I still have some!

This stamped was in the set, so I used it for the envelopes.  I was so happy how the cards turned out.

Just A Note Card

 Well, Christmas is over and I have been trying to pick up my craft room - which is a mess!!  I always keep my holiday stamps/dies separate from the rest of my stamps as I don't have room for everything in one place, but I decided to keep this new stamp/die set from Gina K - Perfect Poinsettias - out since I want to use the green leaves that are included in the set.  I have her Build a Wreath stamp set and these will be perfect with that.  She made a few videos using the poinsettias but then made some just with the leaves which I thought were great!  

 You could use many different sentiments with these, but I chose Just a Note sentiment from SU's Flourishing Phrases stamp set.  The best part is that you can use any mix of colors.  

This one I made landscape using SU's Melon Mambo.

This one is portrait using SU's Island Indigo - I love this color!

 This one is also portrait using SU's Old Olive CS.

For the inside I decided to stamp one of the leaves.

I decided on Just A Note sentiment as that can be used for many different occasions. I think they would be great packaged in a gift box.  I just finished making up my calendar for this year even though it is a week into January!!  Better late than never!  I hope everyone had great holidays and made lots of memories.

Jennifer had a great time with her new cousin celebrating his first Christmas!
