Cupcake Valentine Card

Happy Wednesday! Gosh, this week is going by fast, isn't it? I hope everyone had a fun Valentine's Day...I sure did! My husband and I saw a movie and he gave me a yummy milk chocolate Toblerone bar...it's one of my favorites! It's always hard for him to decide what to get me because I never want him to waste money on buying me a card (no way) unless he makes me one. So, chocolates and sweets are the next best thing and I'm a total happy camper!

I pulled this picture out of my archives...I though it was fitting for today's post! I so love this cute heart cupcake stamp from Karen Lockhart. I wanted this card to look like it was the front window of a boutique-y cupcakery so I used a scallop border punch on the top part to make it look like an awning. Look at strip of bling I used on the bottom! I don't think I've ever used that much sparkle on a card...I LOVE IT! I also love that the card is pink and brown, my two favorite color combos.

It's supposed to rain the rest of the week in my area, which I don't mind so much. More time to craft I always say!

Have a great rest of the week and thanks for stopping in!

Poppy Stamps Valentine's Day Card

Happy Sunday! I can't believe tomorrow is Valentine's Day already...wh-AT?! What are you doing to celebrate tomorrow? Or have you celebrated already over the weekend!

I made this card for my friend Stephanie last year. I think it turned sooo sweet, don't ya think?   Valentine's Day is my second most favorite holiday of the year (Christmas being first) because I LOVE hearts, red and pink!

How about that cute image in the heart center? Isn't she adorable? Her name is Peggy Polka Dot from Poppy Stamps. I colored her in with my Copic markers. I used a tiny heart stamp from A Muse and randomly stamped it in red and pink chalk ink for the background.

To make the grass on the inside of the card, I took two shades of green (dark and light) Copic Sketch markers and "flicked" blades of grass using the brush tip end. The tree stamp is by Memory Box. It is a two-part stamp where the tree part is one stamp and on the end of wood block, is a teeny tiny stamp of there tiny hearts for the leaves...I absolutely adore it! You can kinda go crazy repeatedly stamping heart leaves all over the branches like I did! 

For added interest, I stamped a trail of leaves on the part of the card where I wrote a message.

Hope you enjoyed this card and have a super duper day!
