Valentine...

You have my Heart

 

Okay, so we aren't even into the New Year yet and already I have made a Valentine card

But, only because my sharing today is a Design Team card for Try Stampin' on Tuesday

 

Today starts a new challenge with Team B using Sketch #149 (see sketch below)

The Twist:  SPARKLE it UP!

 

 

So here is my card...so Shiny and Sparkly!

 

Sketch #149

 

I started with a white A2 card for the base

Next I layered pattern paper from K & Company - Valentine by Kelly Panacci

The silver glitter paper was in my stash...sorry I do not know what company

Anyway, I used a Jumbo Scallop border die from My Favorite Things on the silver glitter paper

I also punched out 3 hearts from this silver glitter paper as well

Valentine sentiment from an old Close to My Heart stamp set - D129 February Word Puzzle

 

To finish the card:

I added my Sparkles - pink adhesive rhinestones

A metal tag with sentiment on it and red ribbon with the ends pulled through the hole of the tag

 

I am so glad you came by today and I hope that you will take the time to stop over at the blog

You will find more wonderful Sketch inspired creations by the rest of the DT on Team B

I also hope you will consider playing along with us - I would love to see what you come up with

 

Again - thank you for stopping by and Happy New Year!

Fun Little Valentine Treats

Happy Valentines Day!

 

I have two little Valentine treats to share today.

These were part of the projects I made for my card class last month.

 

They both are made with metal dies from My Favorite Things

LJD Square Pillow Box and Lollipop Treat Die

These two dies were so much fun to play with, along with the Lollipop Additions-Love stamp set!

 

I hope you enjoyed my quick little post today, short and sweet!

 

May your day be filled with Love, Hugs and Chocolate!
