Happy Monday!! I hope your week is starting out fabulously!! I have a few Valentine's Day cards to share with you today and I'll have a few more to share later this week. Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays to create cards for :)

For this card, I used Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and tucked Impression Obsession Heart stems among the blooms. The window was cut with a Memory Box Cherise Label and framed with a Memory Box Tiffany Frame. Love is from My Creative Time's You Are Fabulous stamp set and it was heat embossed with vanilla embossing powder. The flag is a Taylored Expressions Banner Die (cut down a bit). Be My Valentine is from My Craft Spot's Banner Sentiments stamp set.

Wish You A Meow-velous Day

Happy Saturday!! I hope you have fun plans for the weekend!! It's going to be in the 50's here!! Woohoo...it's feeling like spring!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have a project to share a project with you using the Cat's Meow Stamp and Die combo from the December Release.

I have so much fun using this set. The adorable kitty, birds and flower are from the Cat's Meow Stamp Set and they were colored with Prismacolor Pencils. I then used the coordinating Cat's Meow Die Set to cut them out.

The butterfly is from the set as well. It was stamped on patterned paper and then again on white cardstock and covered with sugar coating. I then cut around the inside of the glittered one and attached it to the stamped one for sparkle. The sweet sentiment is also from the Cat's Meow Stamp Set. The button is a Wee Petites Button die.

I stamped the awesome paw prints from the Cat's Meow Stamp Set on the inside of the card.

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and it's everyone's favorite - Anything Goes using a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries (there are over 40 brands to choose from!!).

For this card, I started with a base of heavyweight cardstock and then added a layer of tulle. The papers are from The Paper Studio and the edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA. The banner is a La La Land Heart Banner die. The sentiment is stamped on a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets 1 die. It was popped up with foam tape for dimension. Birthday is an Impression Obsession Happy Birthday die and it was cut six times and glued together.

The bricks peeking through are a Die-Versions Brick Background die. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Memory Box Tender Leaves were tucked among the blooms. The flags on the bottom are La-La Land Stitched Elements dies. A Die-Versions Button die was added to the white paper twine.

Paris Card

Happy Sunday and happy first day of February!! Wow, how did that happen??!! January just flew by!! At least we are that much closer to spring ;) I actually managed a little time in my craft room this weekend!! It seems like forever since I've made a card that wasn't for a DT commitment or guest design spot, and forever since I've been able to enter challenges, so that's what I worked on this weekend. I came across this old MME Paper stack when I was doing some cleaning and I had just enough scraps left to make a card :)

I used several My Creative Time products to create this card. MCT Stitched Rectangular Frames was used and I actually stitched a little on it. My poor neglected sewing machine. An MCT Build a Scripty stamp was stamped in Tim Holtz Spun Sugar Distress ink on the background. The edges were inked with TH Victorian Velvet, as were all of the edges of the card. The Eiffel Tower is from MCT's Springtime in Paris set and it was heat embossed with vanilla embossing powder and popped up with foam tape for dimension. Paris is from the same set and it was heat embossed in vanilla embossing powder as well. It was stamped on a MCT Stitched Oval die. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaves are from Memory Box.

The banners are Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklets dies. The button on the crinkle ribbon is a Die-Versions Button die.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
2. My Creative Time - Photo Inspiration or Sketch (I used both)
3. DL.Art - February Linky
