be my valentine

I took some time today to get all my valentine cards ready for mailing. I still need to pick up a little something extra to go with a couple of the cards but will do that this coming week.

In the meantime I created two more cards today. The first card is for the sketch challenge over at Limelight Paper Crafts not only is it a sketch challenge but we are also to use red embellishments on it.


I don't know about you but I am loving my embossing folders lately and used my cuttlebug hearts on my cards. I created the felt flower using my PTI die, sentiment and the die cut shape are also by PTI. Cardstock is Neenah Solar white linen and French Papers pop-tone wild cherry.

Here is the sketch that inspired my card.


This next card is one of those "just because" cards that I wanted to create. It will go to a special friend that I haven't seen in awhile and I am meeting up with her this weekend to just catch up. Don't you just love that doily in the background? That was a surprise gift from my friend Michelle.

I used Neenah Solar white linen cardstock, BasicGrey button, The Twinery "blossom" twine, PTI blooming flower die, felt from my stash and "tiny type" stickers by Cosmo Cricket.



Enjoy!
