Today is the fifth card and video in my Valentine’s Day mini series. :)
Before I started this card, when I just brainstorming ideas, I thought this would be a great card for kids. Now, I might be completely wrong–I don’t have kids myself. But I know my nieces and nephews love using punches and gluing things together. I thought this would be a fun card to create with children.
Anyhow, enjoy!
On another note, stick around over the weekend because I have another JetPens giveaway (was suppose to happen in January, but time got away from my and then I was out of town). I also have a video showing how I packed my suitcases for when I was out of town. I saw some suitcase packing videos and on YouTube and was intrigued. Thought I’d film my own. :) Anyway, I’m hoping to get both of those posts up over the weekend.
Hi all! Just a quick post from CHA. For those not familiar with it, CHA is the Craft and Hobby Association tradeshow where paper crafting manufacturers and companies debut new lines, collections, and product. Super fun!
I’ve been wandering the show just taking it all in. Unfortunately I forget to take pictures! LOL! But I did get this photo in the BasicGrey booth of their What’s Up line. So cute!
Anyhow, no MACM video today. I’ll catch up with you guys later. :)
Today’s card and video are the fourth in the Valentine’s Day Mini Series. When I saw this card wrap shape by Samantha Walker in the Silhouette Store last week I just knew I had to use it for today’s video. It’s so gorgeous! I just love it! And for those of you without Silhouette machines, I included a how-to at the beginning of the video showing you how to create your own card wrap. :)
Hi, all! I have another Simon Says Stamp card and video for you guys. :)
A while ago I saw this adorable Cuddle Anya stamp from The Greeting Farm. I just love the little bear ears! It’s too cute! Just had to create a card with it, so I colored the image in with really simple Copic coloring.
I also did a bit of spray misting with Studio Calico Mister Huey mist in Dewey. I used the Swiss Dots 6×6 template from The Crafter’s Workshop to get a subtle dot background around Anya. You can see in the video that I colored Anya first and then created a mask to protect the image while I misted.
Well, gosh, I’m falling apart! My back is killing me. Taking it easy as I head off to CHA on Saturday. I love CHA, but I don’t love being on my feet all day, especially with a rebelling back. Haven’t had any back issues for over a year, so this one took me by surprise. Anyhow, on to the card…
I wanted to create a sympathy card using mostly white. I did need to add a bit of color so that I could write a part of the sentiment, though. :)
I used Papertrey Ink’s Stamper’s Select White for the “sympathy.” It’s a super thick card stock and I wasn’t sure how my Cameo would handle it, but it cut it like the champ that it is. No problem. :) For those wondering, I had it on the Heavy Card Stock setting.

Today is the third installment of my mini-series featuring Valentine’s Day cards. This time I chose to create a little slip-cover, sleeve, or pocket (whatever you want to call it–LOL!) for a single layer notecard.
It’s a super simple design and could be replicated over and over very easily if you wanted to create similar card sets for numerous people. Plus, I love that there’s plenty of room on the notecard to write a message.
