Day #7 of Valentine's Day Countdown

Here is a mochromatic card for Valentine's Day.  I have tried to use unusal colors in the hop (I don't keep much pink on hand as I have am the only girl in my household).

This card is made with Miracle B&T, sweetleaf cardstock and cocoa and sweetleaf ink. The ribbon is twill.  The heart is from Olivia microdot B&T paper.

Enjoy the rest of the hop!

Day # 6 of Valentine's Day Countdown

Here is my contribution for day #6.  I used cocoa cardstock embossed with my cricut as the base card.  This is a 3 x 8 card.  I cut out hearts using the cricut as well from the Olivia paper pack and then sewed them onto a colonial white cardstock background.  Then I sewed the whole thing onto the card.

Thanks for hopping with us.

Day # 5 of Valentine's Day Countdown

I saw a card by Brandy Jesperson and Susan Hart in the Stamp It Paper Crafts Technique magazine and just had to try it with some of our CTMH stamps.  This is my favorite creation so far in this blog hop:

I started with a colonial white card and 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch piece of B&T word print from a very old paper pack. Then I cut up the cardstock into some random sizes.  Some of these pieces were dabbed with Cocoa ink and others were left alone.  Then I reassembled the pieces and stamped two butterflies from the set S710 Butterflies (this is an old wood set I could not part with because I love these butterflies). C1192 Air Mail (retired) was used for the post mark  Then I used a border from D1428 Happy Journey on the left hand side, Valentine, LOVE( for the sentiment) and hearts from the D1245 In My Heart set.  I used Garnet waxy wrapped around the papers and under the sentiment. When everthing was adhered, I used the corner rounder on the top and bottom of the card.

This is my hubby's valentine anniversary card this year (18 years - wow, seems like yesterday we were dating).

Now check out the rest of the hop:

Welcome to Day #4 of the Valentine's Day Countdown!

I'm really enjoying seeing all the wonderful creations from my fellow CTMH consultants!

Here is my day four entry:

I cut hearts with my cricut out of the Olivia Paper pack (6 hearts), folded them in half and then glued them together with a nylon string in the middle.

Then I added buttons to the nylon string below the heart and additional hearts and buttons along the tail.

Hope you like this project.

Now check out the rest of the hop.

Love Bird - Day # 3 Valentine's Blog Hop

Here is my entry for Day # 3:

This love bird is made from the Perfect Day Paper pack (retired, but I have a stash because I love the colors!).  I found a tutorial through Lynn Pratt.  The heart on the bird is a paper flower which I cut in half and then folded to create the heart (so there is a little depth to the birdie heart.  It took me about 3 hours and several false starts to get the first bird made (that is my male love birdie - he is blue and missing from this photo) but the second one only took about an hour to assemble.
