6 Cards for Valentine's Day

I had a blast a couple of weeks ago making Valentine's Day cards, I think it must be one of my most favourite occasions.

I had the idea in my head for this one for quite a while and was happy with how it came together, I just hope my husband likes it!

Font - Automobile. Glitter paper - American Crafts. Stickers - Accessorize.

I cut the title from AC glitter paper with my trusty Silhouette and it cuts like a dream. You can usually find it Oct-Feb in TK Maxx/Homesense in a 12x12 mix pack, it rocks!

I made this one first, I had seen the heart viewmaster cut file and just knew that I wanted to incorporate it on a card somehow and I liked making it so much I had to do it again...

I had forgotten that I owned this set and I am looking forward to making some more interactive cards in the future.

I love virtually every Crate Paper release, Emma's Shoppe from 2011 is no exception. I have hoarded quite a bit of paper from this line and it was fun to use it on the next library themed card.

 This is using some very old paper by K&Co, I just love the cute little plaques.

K&Co. Stickers - Papermania, Accessorize. Glitter pen - Sakura. 
Ribbon - Dainty Paperie.

I wasn't happy with this card for a while, originally I had the 'happy' banner over the red glitter heart and it left the sentiment floating in too much space, I was able to peel it off and move it to it's new position and I like it a lot more.

  1. Very nice! I think my favourite might be the last one. :D

    And I have to agree that AC glitter paper is a joy to use. :D I am so glad I managed to pick up a pad in TK Maxx last year. I have the Christmas one and the gold glitter paper has been in much use ever since! I especially like it on top of die-cut white funky foam as it looks fab. :)
