Thanks a Million

I am sad to say it took this stamp set being on the retired list for me to pull it off the shelf.  This card was a copy from Pintrest. I changed the background to brown and the stamp and boarder from black to blue.  I have to admit it is mostly because I could not find the black stamp pad.  I love how cute she looks with her boots.  So Thanks a Million for stopping by!

Be Mine

I have seen a few banners like this one on Pinterest so I wanted to make on of my own for Valentines Day. It was so simple. I started with the hearts from an old deck of cards.  This deck was missing cards so it was a perfect recycled project.  I used my 3 hole punch and punched the corner of the card at the bottom of the punch. Then I flipped it over and punched the other corner in the same way. Repeat for each card. Now that you have all of your cards ready Lay them out on a table and string them onto your ribbon.  Once they are all on space them apart so there is enough room for 3 to 5 ribbons or pieces of yarn in between.  I then used my Cricut to cut out the words BE MINE.  I found they needed to be cut in a height of 2 inches.  Attach the letters, then hang it up and you are done ;)  Oh ya if you flipped the banner over it is the paying card side.  Like I said I was missing cards so I mixed up the numbers and centered them between the valentine couple (King and Queen).  It would be the perfect banner for a valentine themed game night!

Love Notes

I have seen a lot of great ideas for leaving notes to your loved ones for the days leading up to Valentines Day. So I thought I would make my own 14 reasons I love you for my husband.  I cut out the basic shape with a label framelit.  Then I stamped the day in the center and sponged the edge with red :)  I just love it!

Love Cookies

I wanted to make some cute cookies for my Women's Ministry team.  When I was at Cotstco I found these short bread cookies and was ready for the project.  I knew I wanted them simple, but cute.  So I embossed hearts onto the top strip.  Then I used the love stamp and punched it out and I was done.  So smiple!!!

Love Window

I have to start by saying there were so many cute cards, but I did not know who designed most. You can visit Andrea and Nicole's blog at teehee4two.blogspot.com to see more great ideas! Today's card was made by Nicole. She is one of my super crafty friends and happens to be Andrea's sister. I just loved how simple this card was. Inside the o window is a silver heart. I loved it. If you have the peek-a-boo die they could all be made windows with valentine surprises inside :)

Be Mine Too

This was my FAVORITE of my three cards.  It took me a while to figure out how to balance the hearts on the page.  I put one at the bottom in the pattern but it looked a little funny with the scallop so I left it off.  I just liked the hearts inside of the honeycomb.  My next card I think I might have just hearts in different colors without the scallop in the corner.

This is card #2 for my craft night with the ladies.  Oh how I love this honeycomb print. I wanted to do something a little bright and fun, but when I started on this card I liked the simple look to it!  As much as I liked this card I still wanted to make a funky one so tomorrow I will post the funky fun heart card :)

Love ... is Like a Butterfly

I have to say I love this card.  I don't know if it because of the colors or the look of the card!?!  This was the easiest card with an amazingly simple look!  I started by punching the cream with the XL Decorative Label punch.  Then I centered the antenna stamp on the label.  Then I punched the espresso paper with the butterfly punch.  To top off the butterfly I used the Butterfly Prints writing butterfly.   I stamped and cut around the stamp so you could still see the brown background butterfly.  I attached it just in the center so the wings could flutter.  To finish it off I used the sediment from the Butterfly Prints set. Since I have made a few other in different colors, but I still like the brown colors ;)  Have fun!
