"Valentiny" Cards

WARNING 

MOM and CASEY

IF YOU WANT TO BE SURPRISED!

If you are looking for the Valentine's Day Card Blog Hop click HERE.

Challenge #96 over at FCCB is to create a 3x3 card for Valentines day. I created a couple of "Valentiny" cards.  One for my mom, and one for my friend, Casey.   Hence the warning! 

Mom's Card

No Cricut here but I LOVED the glittering, blingy heart stickers and I used the 

new corner chompers that she got me for Christmas. Sweet and Simple.

Inside is

"Happy Valentine's Day"

"Redeem this card for one Gel Manicure!"

Recipe: 

Stickers: Jolee's Boutique - Animal Print Hearts Repeats

Corner Chompers: Scallop (the light purple handle)

I think all of the cardstock is Bazzil's "bling" cardstock.

It is from my scrap pile.

Casey's Card

Casey loves penguins! 

 This card is made, matchbook style. 

I used the top of the border punch to hold the top of the card. 

Foam tape was used on the penguin to create dimension.

 Embellished with a heart brad from my stash. 

Recipe: 

Cricut Cartridge: Create-A-Critter (cut at 2")

Fiskars border punch - name unknown

All cardstock is from my scrap pile!!  YIPPEE!!

Heart brad

Black Glaze pen used for the eyes.

Created for and inspired by:

Did you know that today is 

Squirrel Appreciation Day????  

I didn't even know that day existed but the NUTTY crew over at Die Cuttin Divas issued a challenge to use a squirrel on a project in honor of this day.  

In the spirit of  Squirrel Appreciation Day, I would like to thank the squirrel's in my back yard that play (I really mean taunt) my Yorkie, Bailey!  She has so much fun chasing them around the yard and  up the tree.  I love the way her ears flap when she runs really fast.  

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
