February & March Cards

Here are some Valentine Cards I made in February.  This one uses the scalloped edge punch & a discontinued heart punch from Stampin' Up.  The background is a paisley embossing folder by Provo Craft for Cuttlebug.  I found the inspiration here.

 This one uses the Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Three dies, Stampin' Up Square Lattice embossing folder & Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio Dies.

 This style I have tried before with stars instead of hearts (forgot to take a picture before sending it, of course).   I got the inspiration here.  It turned out to be a cute valentine.

 This one I cased from here.  I love the polka dots!

 This one I cased from here.  I like the circles with hearts in them.  Might try with stars and other shapes as well.  Maybe musical notes?  ;)

 This one I cased from here with a few exceptions- I didn't have the label she used, so I used Nestabilities
and I didn't have the 12 x 12 papers stack, so I used the sentiment from the 8 x 8 stack on top of textured paper.  I also used a white button with bakers twine rather than a pink button since I didn't have that color available.

 This one I got the inspiration from here.  I failed miserably at copying the flower, so I opted for a bow instead.  I do think her colored paper on top of a black card pops much better though, so I'll try that sometime too.

 The inspiration for this one is here.  I decided to use some dimensional heart stickers I got for $.99 at Walmart rather than the punched hearts.  The sentiment is a Stampin' Up rub-on.  The die is a tree by Memory Box.

 The inspiration from this one is here.  I wanted a masculine card and I didn't have the ship stamp, but I thought this classic pickup truck would work well.

 My inspiration for this one comes from here.  I used a Hero Arts stamp instead of the Stampin' Up one from Feeling Sentimental, but they look almost identical other than the size.  I stamped the bicycle in distress ink and restamped it 3 more times to achieve the look of movement.  I used the same distress ink around the edges of the paper and on the subsequent torn layers.  The sentiment is a rub-on by Stampin' Up!

The inspiration for these three came from here.  I had these diecuts around for several years that I could never figure out how to use, so I was glad to finally find a way to use them.  I thought these would make some good masculine cards and I have such a hard time coming up with those.

 This Take a Spin stamp set by Stampin' Up is a lot of fun.  I got the inspiration for this card here.  I used a Sizzix large scallop die (there are 2 layers but it's hard to tell in the bad photo, sorry).

 The inspiration for this one I found here .  This one has been going around Pinterest for a long time and I've tried several variations on it 'cause I love the black/bright color ensemble.  For this one I used Stampin' Up! scallop edge punch, a Happy Birthday flourishy rub-on, a Martha Stewart flower sticker and Martha Stewart label sticker.

 This is an older Stampin Up! set, Tart 'n Tangy, that I haven't used for awhile.  I love finding ideas on Pinterest so I can get out those old sets and get some use out of them.  :)  I cased this one from here

The circle on square idea let me to this one.  I used the scalloped border die (2x) by Sizzix as well.

This one uses a diecut from the same modern set by K & Company as the rounded leaves up above.  I just embossed the background and slapped some dimensional squares on the back of the die and it made a really quick and clean card.

 This is also a diecut from that same collection.  I cut two circles and layered them slightly off center so they'd look more modern, then layered the diecut on top with some dimensionals.

 I have created a few of these diagonal striped cards.  I love that you can use scraps up and have it look so cute.  The sentiment is a rub-on from Stampin Up.  The inspiration for this card is here.

Thanks for stopping by!
