I have two final Valentine's cards to share with you today. The first I copied straight from the pages of the Occasions Catalog.
I loved the soft, pretty look of this card, and it was fairly easy to duplicate. It inspired me to make this card too.
I started out by stamping a few different images for the background, but stuck to using Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake cardstock. The other element that is the same is the strip of Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper. I think there is another card in the catalog that uses the Lots of Labels framelits, and that is where that inspiration came from. I really like how this one turned out! Which one is your favorite?

Card #2

I'm back today to share another Valentine's card with you. I am loving all colors of the glimmer paper right now, and I used the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper on this card.
The base of the card uses the Dazzling Details glitter. I used the striped decorative mask and a sponge dauber to apply the glitter to the cardstock. I've had this card base sitting around for quite awhile (I meant to make a Christmas card with it), and finally found a use for it!
Stamps: Bloomin' Love
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Paper: Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, Love Blossoms DSP Stack
Tools & Accessories: Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies, Lots of Labels Dies, Big Shot, Dazzling Details, Dots & Stripes Decorative Masks, Sponge Daubers
Happy Stamping!

This week I'll be sharing the Valentine's Day cards that I sent to my college friends. Even though the five of us are spread all over the country, they are still my best friends, and I wanted to send them special valentines this year.
This first card uses the stamp set from January's Paper Pumpkin kit. When I saw the 'MEH' stamp, I knew it would be perfect for one of my friends! (Other than that, it probably won't get much use. Do you have a use for this stamp?) Check it out!
I tried to make a pretty Valentine's card, even though the sentiment speaks otherwise. Do you think I succeeded? Here are the extra supplies I used:
Stamps: Cute Conversations
Ink: Bermuda Bay
Paper: Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Have a Cuppa DSP Stack
Accessories & Tools: Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit
That heart doily is from the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit. They come in silver and gold, but if you flip them to the other side, you get white! You can do this with our regular foil doilies too!
I plan to share the rest of my valentines this week, so make sure to check back!
Happy Stamping!
