Heart A Flutter

Well as you can see I've been working on some more Valentine cards.  This one will go to a lady who I use to work for.  She recently had to move into Assisted Living and we are more like family, after working for her for 18 years.  She likes for me to come and visit her and as she says, "so we can sit and gossip".  I just love her to pieces, she is a very special friend to me.  So I go see her on the day that I would have gone to her house to work.

For my friend I wanted to make a special Valentine card, so I was cruising around on Pinterest and found one that I decided to CASE.  I think she will like it, her favorite color is blue.

I used Bermuda Bay, Gumball Green (retired) and Real Red inks for my stamping.  Card stock is Bermuda Bay, Whisper White and Real Red along with Silver Glimmer Paper.  Ribbons are both retired, Crumb Cake seam binding and 1/8" Bermuda Bay ribbon.  A Tea Lace Paper Doily was placed behind it all.  The Whisper White card stock was embossed with Happy Heart embossing folder, which I turned the de-embossed area to the front.  I also used the Bitty Banners Framelits to cut out my "be mine" banner with (I used the current Occasion stamp set-Bloomin' Love) and also the retired Hearts A Flutter Framelits and stamp set.  The heart were also cut with the Framelits.

Thank you for coming by to see me,  Mary

Hearts A Flutter

Today I want to share another Valentine card with you, this one is one I found on Amanda Burditt blog and I just like how soft and pretty the colors are together.  This card is one that I made to send to my cousin in Iowa, I saw where she had "pinned" it from my card board, so I thought I would surprise her with the card.

I used the stamp set Hearts A Flutter for all of the hearts and to punch out the smaller hearts, I used the Small Heart punch.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  Ink colors are Pink Pirouette and Pool Party.  Card stock is Pink Pirouette and Whisper White.  I also added some Basic Rhinestones and Pearls.

Hope you are having a great day and I appreciate all of you too!  Mary

Hearts A Flutter

.

Hello to all of you, I hope you had a great week-end.  Yesterday was my Dad's 86th birthday, and he is doing very well too!  Still mows the lawn and goes for a walk everyday.

Today I want to share two cards with you, one in Wisteria Wonder and Pool Party.  I saw these same cards, different colors and sentiment over on Pinterest.  HERE.  Now I didn't need any baby cards so I made mine into birthday cards.  I used the new Press Clay and the molds to make the button and flower on both cards, I let them dry overnight, then I colored them with my markers.  I also applied some Crystal Effects too see what they would look like with some shine to them and I think it makes them look like real buttons.  When the clay is dried, it is very pliable, so hopefully they will go though the mail just fine.  Now I don't have ribbon in the colors I used, so I took a 1/4" of card stock to cover my edges.  Works in a pinch, you could even stamp on the strip too.
