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.
