Valentine's Day Cards

Hello!  I have some last minute Valentine cards here that are super easy to make and very cute.  They don't even have to be for Valentines day, just add another sentiment inside or a personal note.  I found one like this on Pinterest and I had to make it.

I used Kraft paper, Cotton Candy cardstock, White Daisy cardstock, bakers twine and a pearl adhesive.  I embossed a 4 by 5 1/4 piece of Kraft paper with my cuttlebug and added it to my base of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

I used Hollyhock and Cotton Candy to stamp the hearts.  The stamp set is this month's Stamp of the Month called Wild About Love.

 The sentiment is from a retired stamp set called Happy Valentines (a former Stamp of the Month) stamped in Cotton Candy ink.

Damask Divas February Blog Hop - Ivy Lane

Hello and Welcome to the Damask Divas blog hop featuring the new paper pack Ivy Lane.  If you came from Stephanie Davis' Blog, you are in the right place.  If you ended up here by chance, feel free to start from the beginning on the Damask Divas blog HERE.

My project using the brand new Ivy Lane paper pack is a Valentine's Day mini album.  This paper pack is romantic and feminine and is perfect for saying "I love you".  I also used the February Stamp of the Month called Wild About Love.

This mini album has cuts from Artbooking, Artiste and Art Philosophy.  The base was cut at about 3.75 inches by 6.75 and then I sized all of the shapes to fit using the cricut craft room. 

I added pockets from Artbooking so that I can add multiple pictures to some pages and journaling tags to write about our day.  The journaling tags were stamped with the stamp set called Sweet and Lovely from the Artbooking collection.
