Even though Valentine’s is past, I wanted to show you my card using the I Heart You Gwen digital stamp. Isn’t she cute??

So let me tell you how I put this whole card together…

I used Bristol Smooth paper for my card panel and cut it down with a stitched rectangle die from Kat Scrappiness. I then used one of my newer (to me) Distress Inks in Spun Sugar over a heart stencil (called Full Of Hearts) from My Favorite Things. I tried to make the edges lighter so it sort of faded out a bit. 

I then printed out Miss Gwen on some Neenah Solar White *Index* paper. I had accidentally bought this cardstock thinking it was the 110# that I wanted for card bases, it wasn’t; but it works just fine with my printer and coloring/cutting images. I colored her in using my Copic markers.

For my sentiment, I used a “Love” die which I believe is also from My Favorite Things. I didn’t have a matching “You” die but I had a couple of different options and I chose this one, I haven’t a clue where it’s from.

Once I had everything glued onto my card panel, using a combination of Double Sided Tape and Tombow Liquid Glue, I used my Wink Of Stella Clear sparkle pen on the letters and Clear Glossy Accents on the “Love” and “You” then added red sequins. Finally, I used my white gel pen to give her some highlights and my black pen to give her some earrings. 

Thanks for joining me today!

Hi everyone,
Christa here with a little pink valentine project

The base is a cd envelope, I made with cardstock book pages.
I decorate it with cute valentine papers.
On the front page, I use Love Letter digital stamp, I color her with the TansaiGambi and give a spark with a nuvo clear pen.

On the inside I use Aquarius, the freebie for February, have you already seen her? She is so cute!!! I turned her into a valentine with the little hearts in the water, some cute text and die cut some little hearts.

Its a project with lots of fun stuff to do in it.I have put some tags in it with washi tape. In the envelope, you can put a gift card or something like that.

The text in dutch translated says “you let it rain hearts “.

This is so fun to make and easy messure the envelope and build more pages over the envelope.

Hope to see you in our community and show your Valentine cards/ projects.

Hugs Christa

Good morning, Oddies! Alexis here with a little love for you. While what I write inside might be serious, I prefer cheesy Valentine Cards when I make them. It feels nostalgic to those little valentines that got passed out at school with the cute, but totally corny puns. 

For this card, I went back to an old favorite. Octee is one of my all time favorite digi stamps. He’s soooooooo cute, right?

I didn’t have a sentiment stamp for it, but I knew exactly what I wanted it to say. So, in my terrible handwriting, I put ‘I only have arms for you’ in the little speech bubble. I think it’s cute even though I wish I’d just had a stamp. 

I’m working on more cheesy Valentines this month, so check them out on our community page and let me know what inspires you most!
