HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Today’s post is in the spirit of Valentines Day, even if you don’t celebrate the day in the traditional form, it is often nice to let those around know that they are loved.

Awhile back, a lovely friend and fellow demonstrator, Sue Vine made a wonderful shadow box project complete with a video tutorial. One of my class attendees loved her project so much she requested it for class. So here is my take on Sue’s Project- which you can find here.

I used Bloomin’ Love stamp set and real red ink to decorate the box.

ALL WE NEED IS LOVE

With Valentines Day so close I thought I would share another "love" card with you. While this card is suitable for Valentines Day, it can also be used for an engagement, wedding or "just because I love you" card.

This card doesn't use any stamps at all, just die cutting. Better still it all from the one set of thinlits - Mini Treat Bag. That's right, this set is designed to make a small treat bag. I love how we can use the products for more that just what they are designed for.


Even the sentiment is a thinlit from the same set.

I popped the whisper white layer to use the piece of paper from Festive Birthday DSP to be the main feature. I love using the negative space in this way. The cut outs can be kept to be used on another card, no wastage - its brilliant!

Little Valentines for my little people

As today is Valentines Day, I made a card for both of my two children (I run out of time for hubby, but I'm sure the chocolate made up for it). In our house we don't make a huge deal about February the 14th, but I thought it would be nice to let them know we love them in card form.

This one was made for my daughter.

The Crazy Crafters Blog Hop - Celebrating Love

Valentine's Day is in less than a week, so what would be more fitting than Celebrating Love as this months Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. It worked out perfect for me this month, as my card making class also requested a "love" theme this week. So I had no excuse but to pull out the hearts and get cracking.

As I tend to do for my class, I had to make a few different styles so my members had choice. Some may call me crazy (I guess I'm in the right team), but I usually give them options and then let them put their own twist on my examples.

This first one uses layers of hearts, which I cut out on my big shot, using heart framelits. The owl is quick and easy to make, using the owl punch. I wanted my cute little owl to sparkle, but I had no glimmer paper. Instead I used dazzling details to give it the extra something I was after.

This next card uses all the same colours, but is a standard size card. I decided that I would make my own sentiment "Happy day of love", just to be a little different from the standard Happy Valentines Day, after all that's part of the fun of handmade. I used the Little Letters framelits to give this card a little dimension.

The final card is a Z fold card, my first in fact. I used my heart emboslits and heart punches to create my decorations. I also used the "You brighten my Day" stamp set for all the stamping in this one. This stamp set is one of the freebies available during Sale-a-bration this year, when you purchace $90 AUS of Stampin' Up! products. If you haven't had a chance to look at the Sale-a-bration catalogue yet, feel free to click the link on the side of my blog and have a look.

I hope you enjoy the blog hop.

Please note: The Hop will be live from 8pm EST Sunday 8th February 2015
