Ok, I should have posted this earlier but in truth this was a last minute creation on Saturday. I had a card made for my husband for weeks, I always tend leave the one for my son till the last minute. Procrastination is great isn't it.
I had embossed the My Valentine sometime in the past 3 years, yup 3 years. I make mistakes or something does not fit and I save it, I saw this peaking at me over the edge of my shelf and decided to build a simple card around it. The tan cardstock comes embossed with dots.
I used a large circle punch that magically fit to cut out the embossed image, I then added a red Lacey circle as a background. I used my very rarely used Dragonback Fiskars paper edgers scissors on both layers. I added some thick red ribbon. I finished with a Spellbinders Ladies fashion buckle, if you look close it has hearts. I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder for a glossy look.
Supplies: Cream, red and tan cardstock, GStudio- Valentine, Spellbinders-Ladies Fashion Buckles and Lacey Circles, Ranger-red embossing tinsel, misc red ribbon.
Cheers,
Nina

Boy did I make a mess today as I was making a card for Mojo Monday. I thought that this square card it would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day card.
I started with some beautiful designer paper from a DWCV matstack, then worked everything else around it. The designer paper is covered in pretty flocking that gives the whole card a textured look.
I finished with a heart die cut that I pressed into Versamark then sprinkled with Ranger Red Tinsel Embossing powder. I did the same with the small hearts that are from a small punch I have had forever. The embossing power has a nice sparkle that does not really show with this image.
This is the sketch.
And my card..
Supplies: Natural Ivory and tan cardstock, Designer paper – Misc gold and DCWV-La Creme matstack, Slice-Be Mine die cut, Spellbinders-Decorative Photo corners, Stampin' Up!-circle punches, Ranger Red Tinsel Embossing powder, misc red ribbon.
Cheers,
Nina

The center square is popped up with foam tape and the heart has two layers as well. I used the Slice- Holiday Expressions for the BeMine, I used a thin black paper with sparkles in it for extra effect.

Again with the creativity block, things on my mind I guess. I usually only make two Valentines cards, the first of course for the my sweet and wonderful husband, the second for my bestest son ever. I had a bit of a late start, well I guess not really one was done 3 weeks ago the other last week but it felt like crunch time in my mind at the time. Is that a song, it sounds like it would be a good song “Crunch time in my mind”.
Anyhoooo, once this card started to come together I was excited, mostly because I was stumped on it for a while. I started with my multitude of layers, of the hardest parts to this card was the hearts, there are two more inside. They were created with Nestabilites Decorative photo corners, you have to run the die cut through the Cuttlebug once to cut, they a second time to get the wonderful embossed design and you need to shuffle the sandwich stack in between. You can really see but the hearts have a double layer, the bottom layer is silver the top black faux suede designer paper.
This is the Spellbinder Shapabilities I used for the heart, I wish the design was visable in the card portrait.The Black tie designer paper is really a wedding series but serious, unless I tell my husband he will never know.
My husband only ever asks for cookies for Valentine's, sour cream sugar cookies to be exact a soft cookie. Those are the ones shaped as hearts. I though I would snap a picture of his huge tray of cookies. I mixed it up a bit with a second recipe of what Betty Crocker calls the Ultimate Valentines day cookie.
