Valentine's Day Card Blog Hop

I'm so excited to be participating in this Valentine's Day Card Blog hop with some amazing and talented ladies. If you've just come from Nikki http://www.theglamoroussideofscrapping.blogspot.com/ then you are right on track. If you didn't come from Nikki and want to Hop along head over to Ellen at  http://www.cardmonkey-business.blogspot.com/  to start from the begining.

The card I made today is the Tri-Fold or shutter card. I used the Sweethearts Cartridge for the large red heart, the small white hearts and the xoxo and Wild Card for the Sentiment. Then A Child's Year for the girl. I used the Valentine's Sizzix embossing folder for the red embossed paper and the polka  dot folder for the girl and for the red background paper under the xoxo. Then added a few stones with i-rock.
.


I used pop dot's under the front Be My Valentine  and under the little girl.

This is what the front of the card looks like once it's been folded up.


I wanted to do another project and it's taken a little longer than planned. That thing called life keeps getting in the way of my crafting. So this is what I am working on. I feel that it needs a little more embellishments but another day.
I used Wild Card & Sweethearts cartridges for the cuts. The tin was silver from the dollar store and I spray painted it white. The heart border on the bottom is paper punched made by Recollections.


Now for the BLOG CANDY!! Since this is a card Blog Hop I found these little "friend" sentiment stamps that would be cute for cards. I will pick a random commenter on this post on Monday January 24th so leave me a way to contact you.  You don't have to be a follower to win but I always welcome new followers.


Thanks so much for stopping by. Your next stop is Jaime at  glitterstampspaperohmy

  3. I absolutely ♥♥♥ your card. Traditional and new at the same time, using the tri-fold shutter style. And I ♥ even more that I have all of the Cartridges you used, so I can try to duplicate this as soon as MY life doesn't intervene! I hope you don't mind, I saved your card in my digital "ideas" file as it is SUPER! THANK YOU for joining my hop today. I have become a follower and I am sincerely looking forward to seeing all you do. You inspire me!

  20. Your card is absolutely beautiful! Love it. Do you have instructions somewhere on your site for how to make the cuts and folds for that type of card? And I love the bouquet in your little bucket. A great idea. I love to decorate my home for the season, and was trying to think of what I could possibly make out of paper that I could sit around. That is the perfect idea. Just a terrific job on both! I'm a new follower, so please consider following my blog too-just click on my name to get to Pat's Scraps. Thanks!
