Valentine's Day Cards

Utilizing the January 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Be Mine Valentine, I was able to construct all of me valentine's cards this year - so here are the alternates & the cards.

~Enjoy


This one utilizes the treat box for the background strip, a Pool Party heart & the reverse in white, the stamp set that came with the kit and Bermuda Bay cardstock. I sponge edged the hearts & the strip in Bermuda Bay. I found a cute XOXO embossing folder in my stash and some bootleg white ribbon that looks like the Sale-a-Bration ribbon. Adding a touch of glitz is the retired Bermuda Bay Glimmer paper from the Myths & Magic 6x6 paper pack. The swirls are cut from the retired Detailed Deer Thinlits (antlers). The sentiment is popped up in the ribbon wave technique.


Thanks for the inspiration on this one to Rachel Tessman, I took her idea of the background chameleon & added an accent piece. The green ribbon on the accent is an old retired DSP, embossing with the Falling Leaves embossing folder & sponged with old olive. A piece of white flax ribbon adds a little more interest. The pieces from the kit are the Pool Party circle turned over & edge sponged with Melon Mambo, the chameleons & the Flirty Flamingo hearts. A bootleg ribbon that looks like the Sale-a-Bration ribbon tops off the piece.


The pink version utilizes the treat box for the background banner with a fishtail cut. I added the retired Pink Pirouette (which I just scored at a retired products sale), Melon Mambo & White cardstock. The sentiment is from the stamp set that came with the kit with the ribbon wave technique. I used my XOXO embossing folder from my stash and some bootleg hot pink ribbon that looks like the Sale-a-Bration ribbon. Adding a touch of glitz is the retired Sweet Sugarplum Glimmer paper from the Petal Garden paper pack. The swirls are cut from the retired Detailed Deer Thinlits (antlers).


Who can resist these cute little birdies with the "You're so fly" sentiment? The background its made mostly of the treat box, Melon Mambo, Black & White cardstock. The sentiment from the stamp set is stamped in Bermuda Bay on one of the Pool Party circles. The birds were stamped again in the coordinating paper & fussy cute (bodies only) the wings were colored with markers. Behind the birds are the remnants of the pillow boxes, strips that were left over once they were trimmed for other products. Finishing it off is white bakers twine and the Flirty Flamingo hearts.
