Postage Valentine Cards




Got this older paper from Brenda Walton's Sweet Talk paper collection.  It was just 1 paper with 24 images ... I got it at M's paper sale last week.  I cut it with postage shape scissors and backed it with a complementing cardstock and added a few blings and stickles to resemble a stamp.  I used the 'stamps' as the focal point for my cards and used complementing paper and ribbon from my stack. I'm liking the wrinkle ribbon it adds a lot of texture and its not fuzzy to make a bow. I got a roll of white snug hug seam binding from Sew True and hand dyed it with Glimmer Mist ... I cut the desired length of the seam binding, put it in a sandwich bag and sprayed your choice of glimmer mist then let it dry.
Wow, I was in a roll this weekend.  This is the most I've posted and done, I hope it does not wear out =D.

Supplies:
  • PAPER: PTI Lavender Moon, Rustic White, Kraft, & Hawaiian Shores, My Mind's Eye Pattern Paper
  • STAMPS: Unity Stamps, Hero Arts
  • INK: Versamark
  • OTHER:  wrinkle ribbon, doily, twine & buttons

Valentines Inspiration



We had a left over gingerbread house from Christmas that we did not have a chance to do so I saved it to make a Valentines house.  Then I got all my Valentines theme crafting stuff to get me inspired to make some projects.  We'll see if it works =D.

Older Valentines Projects

Here are some older Valentines projects I have from last year.  I'm hoping to make a few cards this year and try to make my own embellishments.  I'm liking the fabric yoyos and glubers I saw from Mish Mash and Cosmo Cricket blogs.  I don't want to buy the yoyo makers so I googled and I found this from Heather Bailey.
