I don't make cards very often - but once in a while I really get in the mood. Last Sunday I made this Valentine for a Super Bowl challenge at Paper Issues. (Well to be honest, I made a Valentine, got up the next day, didn't like it and added some more bits and pieces - this is the end result). The ombre fabric tag from Pinkfresh Happy Things was perfect and added lots of texture. And lets be honest - the gold glitter thickers from Maggie Holmes that said "be true" are beautiful but were probably never going to end up on a layout. So a Valentine was the perfect solution.
When I was done, I'd been bitten by the bug - so most of my crafty time this week was spent digging through scraps and embellishments for bits to use to make Valentines. The papers all came from my "small scrap basket." I didn't open anything new, but I didn't finish anything either - so we are going to call the process a stash busting draw.
The mint green paper that serves as the base is from the Open Road Collection by Crate Paper. The stickers I layered were mostly "vintage" Crate Paper too.
The next one mixes pieces and parts from lots of old supplies - the pink and white papers were in Studio Calico kits, the stickers and die cuts were Maggie Holmes and that black paper - its from an old October Afternoon Halloween collection.
This one mixes scraps from Pink Paislee and Crate paper with stickers and die cuts from Crate Paper. The globe with the sentiment is from the Crate Paper Wonder collection and the "adorbs" die cut is from Hello Love. And the tiny gold puffy hearts - those are from the Pink Paislee Memorandum collection.
And last but not least - my favorite.I love the stickers with a vintage feel from Crate Paper combined with more modern papers from Studio Calico kits. And adding the blue paper at an angle created an unexpected element. The gold glitter hearts are from Sevenpaper.
Now if only I had remembered to mail these cards to some of the special people in my life. I guess I will save them for next year.
Have a Happy Valentine's Day.
