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.
Morning, all! Fighting a headache this morning. Ick. Hopefully it will go away soon. :)
Anyhow, I have a small card for you guys today. Just a simple 3×3 card. I love 3×3 cards for Valentine’s Day card because when they’re this small they’re perfect for on top of a gift. Chocolates, anyone?
If you’re looking for the perfect envelopes for small 3×3 cards like this, Stampin’ Up! sells some. I also found some clear “envelopes” that would look awesome on gifts HERE (not to mention the plethora of other items at that site. I seriously want everything)!
TIP: I used Hero Arts layering paper for the embossing. Because the paper only has color on the surface of the paper, you can use a sanding block to distress the embossing and reveal the white core of the paper. It really makes the design stand out.
