Hedgehog and Hearts for Valentine’s Day

Hedgehog and Hearts for Valentine’s Day

(Inside: Wishing you every happiness, today and always.)

This card features this cute little guy from a die set I purchased on Amazon as well as a background cover die that I embossed (instead of cut as I had done HERE).

This animal die set includes a number of cute animals, but I just wanted to mention that there is a bit of fussy cutting and drawing/coloring required for some of the layers on each.

The frame is from the “Heart Card Sketcher” set (FRA-DIE-09308) from Frantic Stamper. The inside sentiment is from the “Elegant Florals” set from Gina K Designs, and the greeting on the front was computer generated (CK Footnote; 15pt font).

Thanks for checking out my card project!

Four Block Valentine’s Day Card

Four Block Valentine’s Day Card

(Inside: Wishing you every happiness, today and always.)

I am always excited when I come across an interesting (and simple!) layout to try. And with all the patterned paper I have that is waiting to be used, I think this one is a winner! Thanks Natasha Foote!

Recollections “Tan Hearts” and a piece from The Paper Studio “Dalmuti” card stock pack (no longer available?) were used for the blocks along with Stampin’ Up Tip Top Taupe, GKD Innocent Pink, and Recollections Dove White. The greeting panel was made with an amazon set and the EK “Real Estate Sign” punch. Pieces cut with the “Mini Fanciful Flourish left” die by Cheery Lynn Designs were used to embellish.

The inside greeting is from the “Elegant Florals” stamp set from Gina K Designs.

I made some without the pink as well.

HAPPY Birthday Animals

HAPPY Birthday Animals

(inside: A birthday wish is sent your way, hoping you’ll have a wonderful day.)

It’s the beginning of February, so it’s time for birthday cards for my triplets! I was told (by one) that he prefers “cute kid cards” and not “gray adult ones” so cute (and not gray!) it is!

This is Keith’s card.

Happy birthday, Keith!

This is Kelly’s card:

Happy birthday, Kelly!

The next two cards are for Kevin and his fiancée, Lansing. This is Kevin’s card. The bird was designed to look like their pet cockatiel, Babka.

Happy birthday, Kevin!

And this one is for Lansing. The bird on this one was designed to look like their other cockatiel, Hokio.

Happy birthday, Lansing!

Wishing You Joy

Wishing You Joy

(Inside: Sending love & prayers for a blessed Christmas and a joyous new year)

This card features the cardinal from the “Layered Cardinal Stencil & Die Set” from Creek Bank Creations and some pretty patterned paper.

Gina K Designs Faded Brick, Cranberry Tart, Charcoal Brown, and Black inks were used along with pieces from sheet 3 from the “Christmas Memories 2 Card Kit” pack from Photo Play. The inside sentiment is from the “Christmas Blessings” set by Our Daily Bread. The greeting on the front is actually part of the pattern on the patterned paper.
