You're Sweet!
I saw this cool tall center step card at Eva's Scraps N Cards,
and she was gracious enough to send me the file.
This card fits neatly in a 4.5 x 6 envelope, so if
you don't add a lot of embellishing, will mail with regular postage.
I started with a white card stock base, inked the edges,
and added the Swiss Dots embossed mats to the front.
The cupcake is from the Home Decor cartridge and
is cut from glitter papers @ 2.75".
The "frosting" is embossed with the Swirls CB folder
and the small hearts are negative cuts from the same cupcake.
The banner is hand-cut, inked, and matted in a darker chocolate brown.
The stamp is from the Mark's Finest Paper "Celebrate Big" stamp set.
I continued the same matting on the inside followed
by more from the same stamp set that has been hand colored
in pencil and blended. The small green gems and pink swirls add some bling,
while the top sentiment is backed by a Fiskars scalloped square punch in
the same chocolate brown as the front "Happy Birthday" banner.
I added a "Birthday Recipe" card to the back
for my personal sentiment.
I love to make cards that can be displayed and
this one is just delicious!

Being married to you....
I finally finished my dear hubby's valentine...and not a day too soon!
I usually give him a "surprise" to take to work, so I will
have this in his car tonight and it will be his special something for tomorrow.
I started with a bright red card stock for the base and folded
it into the shape of an easel card (my favorite!)
Starting with a pink mat, I rounded the corners, and then added
an embossed white mat with some inking to bring out the images.
Followed by a red paper heart doily, I added a real box of chocolates!
This is a small Russel Stover brand with 5 pieces of candy inside....so much fun!
After cutting the hearts from Sweethearts,
followed by an embossed scalloped circle from Winter Woodlands,
I added a computer generated sentiment on a hand-cut banner
to complete the card front.
This will actually stand up nicely without causing a problem!
I always my personal sentiment to the inside flap -
but the whole sentiment states:
Being married to you is like opening a box of chocolates /
Each day new and exciting and full of surprises
The inside mat is adorned with a Close to my Heart stamp,
while the bottom one is decorated with a stamp from Stampendous.
The sentiment framing is from Art Nouveau and the glitter papers make it sparkle.
A touch of ribbon and this gorgeous card is complete!
Everything will go in this little lunch bag.
I have to admit, I didn't take much time decorating this,
but it's all about the treats inside this time......
not the wrapper!
Nestled inside Hubby's treat bag along with his card,
are these "big smackers!"
Hand-made candy by me with love......
one is peanut butter and the other is white chocolate.
Happy Valentine's Day, my love!
TFL!

Love Note
This cute and simple card will be going out
to one of my dear friends.
Although she has a lot of people who care about her,
she stays to herself and spends most of her time making
sure that her sister is comfortable in the nursing home.
Hoping to brighten her day a bit,
I made her this "love note" Valentine.
The envelope and hearts on the front are from Doodlecharms,
while the hearts that adorn the inside are from the Sweethearts cartridge.
I also used the Sweethearts card feature to cut the card base.
I also used the Sweethearts card feature to cut the card base.
The banner is hand-cut, but I am not sure who makes the stamp,
since it seems that I had cut off the top of the package!
Glitter papers, inking, ribbon, and some embossing add to the flair of this project.
A handwritten "Thinking of you on Valentine's Day"
will finish off the inside.
It will be nice to let her know that a friend is thinking of
her on this Valentine's Day and she is not alone.

Tons of love
This is my grandson's Valentine card.
I have had this idea rolling aound in my head and since the weather
outside was frightful.....off to my craft room for the day!
I started with the dump truck from EDPD, filled it with embossed hearts (PS)
and put it on the road from the same cartridge.
I love display cards, but was getting weary of easel and center steps...
so I chose the Concertina Card fold for this one.
I started with a white base and covered the panels with a pretty striped pink paper.
The hearts range in size from 3" to 1/2" and are all cut
from glitter papers shadowed in black.
Embossing all of them gives this project more dimension.
A small banner on the top gives the card front sentiment
and is a Cardz TV stamp, while a matted personal verse on the back finishes it off.

I love the way this looks.....especially since we are sending
"tons" of love off to Maddix!
