Humorous Valentine's Day Card

With Valentine's Day a little over a month away I thought I would share some non-traditional Valentine Day Cards.  Everyone has seen the cute ones and the mushy ones, but who says that a Valentine can't have some humor?

I decided to create a humorous Valentine's Day card that has some humor to it.  Using a stencil, some distress ink and a distress crayon, I was able to create this grungy Valentine's Day card.

I have created a video so that you can see my process for creating this card.

I have also created a list of all the products I used to create this card for your convenience.  I will be back in a few days to share with you a non-traditional color Valentine's Day card, so be sure to subscribe to my channel if you have not done so as of yet.

Thanks for stopping by!

Suzy Bee's Bloomin Challenge #13 - Anything Goes with Ribbon

Hi Ya'll. this is the last January challenge over at Suzy Bee's Bloomin Challnege. Can you believe we are almost through the first month of the year?  This week is Anything Goes...with Ribbon. I know everyone loves Anything Goes, just don't forget to add the ribbon to your project.

Our sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear. Make sure you pop over and check out the wonderful images offered up.

The image I chose to work with this week is called "Catmail". It is a silhouette image, so there was  no coloring involved this week.

Catmail

 I did add distressing ink around the image though to give it an aged look. The background paper is stamped with various cancelled postage stamps and I have added a black velvet ribbon.  I attached the image with black brads.

This was a very simple card to put together, but I just love how it came out. Sometimes simplicity is best.  Well I hope that I have inspired you to play along this week...so get busy! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

• Ends Jan 31 - Delicious Doodles - Ribbon
• Ends Jan 30 - Moving along with the times - cats
• Ends Feb 3 - Digi Stamps 4Joy - Add Ribbon

True Soulmates

It has been a long week. My husband just got back from Haiti. I know seems like a strange place to visit, but it was not a vacation. He went with a group of people to help paint a school. We have been married a loooong time, but I still miss him when we are not together. It is usually me traveling for my job, but not recently.

So in honor of his return, I thought I would share a Valentine's Day card I made.

The sentiment comes from a set of clear rubber stamps from Fiskars called "Lasting Love Quotes." I got it at Tuesday Morning for $3.99 marked down from $16.99. Now that was a deal. The set has 16 Quotes and 4 different heart rubber stamps. I am all about the bargains!

Many of my Valentines have been Vintage/Shabby Chic as this style works great on Love/Valentine Day cards. I only have 1 left as they have all sold in my Etsy store. This one included. It sold before I could even post about it. Perhaps I should make some more?

Anyway, off to spend some time with my hubby! Hope you all have a great weekend.
