It's all about the love today!

Happy Tuesday!

I struggle a bit with Valentine's cards.  I usually don't have a sweetheart to gush over and make cards for so I tend to skip the whole Valentine's thing.  But this year I remembered the times my mom made notes or cards or treats for us kids.  I kept some of them and they are in my scrapbooks.  So instead of focusing on mushy, romantic love I made cards that you can give to anyone that you love.  Today on my live video, I showed a way to use the Brave Vikings stamp set to make a great masculine love card. This is Ray the Red!  Isn't he handsome? He says "I've taken a viking to you" 😍

I used the Always in my Heart stamp set for the second card I demonstrated this morning.  I used a technique (I don't know if it has a name) where I traced a shape (the heart) and then used the smaller stamps around the shape.  This can be left as it is or you can place the shape on top so the stamping is seen around the edges of the shape.  I put the heart on dimensionals to make it stand out. I used the gorgeous soft velvet Mint Macaron ribbon to finish it off.

Do you make Valentine's cards?  What's your favourite kind to make?  Flowery, simple, punny... The possibilities are endless!
