Lovey Dovely Cards with Nicecrane Image

























I have gotten out all the Valentine's Paper I own and am making a futile attempt to make a dent in it. See Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays of all time and I hoard paper.

I am in love with the Victorian images, hearts, roses and who doesn't like chocolate. ;-)

Plus, got married one really cold Valentine's Day almost 15 years ago.

I tend to get excited about making Valentine's Day cards and I like to send them too. It's kinda like my way of celebrating the holiday and our anniversary, sending out love in the mail!

Ignacio over at Nicecrane Designs had this great image for me to use.



Here is a photo of my pile of goodies right before I got started gluing down flowers and the images. I am not a huge card maker so I make them all the same. 


Here is are the cards stand-alone. 

I did have a fun simple little sketch to use from Get Creative that I rotated. I did add the banners, what a better way to use up thousands of little tiny cool smidges of paper!


And, here is another shot of the cheese box I fancied up for my SIL. 


Yes it is really a cheese box. I added shimmer modge podge and tissue paper with some black spritz and this is the end result. See, there it is all laid out ready to be made beautiful! ;-) Hope she likes it, I'm adding something yummy inside!

Happppppy Hump Day!

  8. I am not a card maker you said. For a non card maker I think you've done marvels. Love the little banner strip, can I borrow that design?
