Children's Valentine Cards

My children joined a swap at scrapinvintage.ning.com! They made their own Valentine cards! I helped them cut out a few things with the cricut and then they stamped and colored their hearts out! Can't wait until we get theirs from the other children who participated!!

May God Bless You

I hope everyone is staying warm today. Brrrr.....it's getting cold! My children were so excited to play out in the snow today. Me, not so much. I chose to make this card instead. ;) I used the digi stamp Warm in the Winter by The Paper Shelter. I used my copics to color it and used light blue chalk in the background of the pic. Thanks for stopping by and hope your day is Blessed!

Be My Valentine

Hi my scrappin' friends!! I finished another card this morning! I love Valentine's Day. I used a digi stamp from StitchyBear Digital Stamps and colored her with copics. The dots on her dress were paper pieced. Whew, did that take a while. Those were some small dots! I don't know how I managed to not lose one. :) I broke out the sewing machine for this card. The poor thing has been stored in my closet for a really long time. TIP: If you haven't sewn on your cards before, try it out on a scrap piece of paper first. (I went through several scrap pieces trying the zig zag stitch) I handmade the red flower using pleated ribbon and alcohol ink. The other flowers are from I Am Roses. I used a large post card stamp to make my own mini post card. The sentiment is from Amy R Stamps Heart-y Sayings at All That Scraps. As always, I hope you enjoy this card. Have a Blessed day!

I Love You a Latte
