Looks like we're in for another blizzard here today and tomorrow....we're snuggling in and I'm just about ready to work on some paper projects...nothing I love more than being snug in my house, working on some creative things. I need to find some time to create some valentine goodies...it's one of my favorite holidays to craft for...the colors are so sweet and pretty. I've made a few things, but can't wait to work on more...I've got some pretty goodies sitting here waiting to be used up. They are staring at me, calling my name...trying to make me be bad and avoid the other "work" I have to do. :-) Maybe tomorrow.
For now, I do have a few sweet lovey-dovey cards for you. This first one is made with Papertrey's Tiny Treats: Valentine set. These little images are so adorable...who doesn't love that little airplane?
Stamps: Tiny Treats: Valentine, Background Basics: Hearts
Ink: Pure Poppy, Spring Rain, Smokey Shadow
Cardstock: Rustic Cream, Spring Rain
Other: Bitty Box Basics patterned paper, scallop scissors, Creative Cafe border sticker, Spring Rain buttons, EK Success heart punches
And next is just a simple tag-shaped card. Such an easy way to change up a card just a bit...snip off the corners and give it a tag shape. Just for something different.
An punched heart coated with glitter tops off this pretty journaling card from Fancy Pants's new Vintage Valentine collection. So easy!
And one last mushy card before I head out and get started for the day....for this one I lined up a bunch of Bazzill border strips to create a fun background and layered it with a diecut from the Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge and a stamped heart from Papertrey's Heart Prints.
Ok...off to work and watch the snow...I'm guessing my kiddos will be home early from school, so I'd better hop to it. Later!









I love the idea of a tag shaped card! I'm always on the lookout for something different. Lovely cards as always.

Love the tag card and that Fancy Pants DSP and embellies -- where can I get some? Is it available on-line or in stores only???

Awesome use of those Bazzill borders! I have a pack that's been waiting to be cracked open for too long now... :) Lovely all around!
