A little late, a Valentine's Day card

Happy Monday!! Ok, how much candy did you eat from the kids' Easter baskets and what is your favorite? My favorite candy are the whopper robin's eggs. We had BBQ chicken and I made my FIL's favorite--fruit salad and curried deviled eggs. (see my recipes "What's for dinner" for the fruit salad recipe) I love LOve LOVE deviled eggs with curry (I use Garam Marsala spice)

Here is a little blast from a couple of month's ago. A Valentine's day card for my daughter to give to her teacher

DETAILS
Card is 4.5 x 6 Kraft card base. I wanted a patchwork look so used some papers from 2011 MS V-Day paper pack and a Bo-Bunny paper pack. Heart glitter stickers are from recollections.
Bingo stamp from Emma/My Creative Time. Organza ribbon--offray. Black dye ink pad from Staz-On.

Happy Valentine's Day! I thought we'd be going out to dinner tonight. It seems my husband over the weekend was having molar pain and sure enough, today found out has to have a root canal. Couldn't have it today since to swollen. So, we'll be taking a rain check on that and eating something nice, romantic and mushy tonight :O LOL He did come home with some roses so that always works....right?

Since I'm homeroom Mom, I'll be going up to my DD school in a bit with my wild man for her Valentine's Party.

Here is a card I did to give to my In-laws yesterday. It is a 5x7 card, I used pink BoBunny paper, and Martha 4x6 paperpad (one paper says "love" and the other has hearts.)

The shoes are from the Sweethearts cart and I think I cut them at 2.75 with expression and gypsy. I did 3 layers on the heart on the shoe, glued together and then ran through the Xyron , did MS red glitter and glossy accents. {I LOVE glossy accents!!} Then gently glued on the high heel when dry. I outlined the man's shoe with a fine point CM brown pen and then did brown ink around the edges. The pink show was edged with pink ink, as were all edges of the papers. The inside message of the card was done at 3.



Hope you all enjoy the day!!
Oh, almost forgot....if you looked below you saw the golfer I did with car accents. We were going to make it into a Bday card for my FIL. Well, my DD took it upon herself to do the below card all by herself. I was quite proud of her!! :) :) She used country life for the sun/grass. I showed her how to take the read dial size off on the gypsy (the chain link) and size the grass exactly to 6 wide and 4 high. Then we just cut an extra layer again for the darker green behind the sun. The golfer was car decals (see rest of details below) at 2.75 and the golf cart was at 2". Clouds were EDPD and then chalked.

Valentines Card #3

Oh my...3 days of posts LOL Gotta love the scheduling feature on blogs :)

So this was a store pre-made 5x7 card. The white LOVE paper was something I picked up at Hobby Lobby for 10cents each last summer. The red cardstock is BoBunny from 2011, valentines. The red cardstock for the hearts is Bazzil. The hearts are from sweetheart, cut at??
After I cut I ran through the cuttlebug and used a sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders 4PK - Love Set. Then, I gently separated the intricate cuts and intertwined the hearts and glued with scotch. Red mat (size??) got glued down and then I wrapped/taped the red sheer ribbon around the love paper and adhered the paper down. Tied the bow. The hearts got glued down last. Inside of card is blank because I may use this card for my anniversary card.

Valentines day card #2

Wow! Day 2 of posts! LOL
We got another 4 inches on Wednesday and STILL are snowed in (I haven't driven a car since Monday Jan 31st...can ya say I'm stir crazy!) because hubbie has to drive my SUV with 4 wheel drive to work.

So, here is another card. DD had this idea to give to her teacher because her teacher has a cat and dog. So....

I got car decals 2 weeks ago. I love Paper Pups with the simple layering and that is the main reason I got car decals. Very similar. I never wanted to use it for "car decals."
This is just me but the only thing I don't like about car decals is one eyeball is always smaller than the other. I know it's suppose to be that way. I just use the gypsy to hide/contour and will either draw on my own or use black flat accents for the eyes. I might try to use PK stamps too maybe...hmmmm....

So this was a store pre-made tan 4x6 card. I used car decals and cut the dog and cat at 2.5." The heart is from sweethearts and I think 1". The paper is Martha Stewart key and heart mat pad, and the heart punch is Martha. The twin is red/white from someone on ebay.

I don't remember the sizes I cut the mats. I ran the heart shape through the Xyron X and then used MS red glitter. Then, used glossy accents for the first time. I can tell I will be a BIG fan of glossy accents! I put the dog and cat together, glued down their eyes, drew on a black nose. I wanted the dog and cat facing a certain way so they could look like they were holding the heart so I turned and flipped one of them before cutting.

Glued down the red heart mat, then took twine and wrapped and taped to the tan printed mat and tied a bow. Then glued down on the red mat. Glued down the punched heart border and finally the dog and cat. After glossy accents dry (I put on thin so like 15 min) I glued it on top of their paws.

Inside the card was an EK success punch for the tag. Used a stamp from M's and some black stampin'up ink. Then glued down another MS heart border

Valentine's Day Card

Been a while I know. With an almost 3 yr old boy, I had such high hopes of being able to have time to do cards and update my blog regularly. He is into everything all the time...do any of you know the feeling? LOL

Being snowed in the last week, I've had time to work on my gypsy and actually cut some stuff out. Big sister has been home to entertain little man! We haven't had school in 7 days.

CARD

Here is a 5x7 card I made
I used the Martha Stewart breanch punch and 2 shades of pink, red and white cardstock to punch out a bunch of branches. Then, I used my computer and Microsoft Word to just type in random Valentine's Day words (using different fonts, etc. )and then copied and pasted/repeated those words on the entire page. Then, printed it off. I took my CM heart cutting system and cut the printed paper out.

I cut 2 different sizes of mats in pink and red (don't remember sizes) and glued down. Then, used my ATG to adhere down the printed paper heart. Then, took my scotch glue and started gluing down the leaf punches.


I had seen this poem once before and really liked it. So I found it, copied and pasted in Word and printed off on white cardstock. Cut that out and glued on some pink cardstock.
Nice and simple. I'm thinking of giving this to hubbie for Valentine's day.
