Valentine For Felix (Hero Arts Hearts)

Hi, guys! Hope you had a great weekend!  We sure did!  Saturday my hubby was in his monthly show in Manhattan.  They performed episodes of "The Shadow" and "Richard Diamond, Private Detective."  It was a great time shared with friends as well.  I really love when they do the old-time commercials. Truly hysterical. I think it is wonderful that both my husband and I have creative outlets that we can enjoy and share with others.

For today, I thought I would share a Valentine card I made for my friend to give to her husband.  She likes large size cards, so this was an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of card stock scored in half.  I had a hard time photographing this card due to the shape and size of it.   I heat embossed hearts and inked them with various shades of distress inks.  I used Tim Holtz Alphas to personalize the card.

Supplies:
Stamps: Hero Arts
Inks: Distress Inks, Versamark
Paper: Gina K (Black & White)
Misc.: White Embossing Powder, Tim Holtz Letters


Tomorrow I will be on a vacation day and I will be working on a bunch of Valentines and other cards that have been requested.  I am looking forward to having a fun day of inky fingers!

Until next time!

Butterfly Wishes for a Happy Valentine's Day

Hi, guys! Today I am sharing a Valentine I made.  My friend Chris asked me to make her a Valentine for her granddaughter.  She wanted it to have her name on it, as the girl loves seeing her name show up on cards.   After thinking about it for awhile, I decided to use an stamp from a Valentine set from Stampin' Up from awhile back.  I thought these butterflies would be fun for a girl and I added bling and popped up the wings as well. I put Deanera's name in a butterfly to personalize the card.

Supplies:
Stamps: Stampin' Up
Paper: Papertrey Ink, Stampin' Up, Authentique
Ink: Archival Black, Distress Ink
Misc.: Gems, Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch, Prisma Colored Pencils, Gamsol

Valentines are so much fun for me to make.  I love that you can express yourself in so many ways. It really makes me happy when someone chooses to have me create a card for such a special day.

Hope you have a great one!
