Happy Valentine's Day!

Playing along with
Word Art Wednesday Challenge

Hi, Friends!

I'm just popping in quick to share with you a couple Valentine cards that I made.  I wanted to get a couple entered into the Word Art Wednesday Challenge that will be closing soon. 

I hope to get back into my craft room today.  I've been busy painting the bathroom and other daily life things.  Our new granite counter top comes this Thursday, so I had to get things done.  You know when you think you have all the spots painted?  Well, I looked this morning and there is a few spots that needs touch up.  But, that's ok...just a few spots!  Anyways, things haven't been updated for nearly twenty years, so it will look great once things are all completed.

Ok, onto my cards that I made...

The first one was so fun!  I've already given this card to my hair stylist.  She is a crafter, too!  It was so fun giving this card to her.  Seeing her big smile was worth all the effort...so fun!

And, here is the card...



The card is self-explanatory, so I'll just say the die and sentiment is from MFT.  The hearts were made using a Martha Stewart punch.  I struggled a bit placing the lip balm into the pouch.  The lip balm was a little too big for the pouch.  I had to place tape over the back of the white covering inside the card.  But, it's ok for I hope she would open it anyways to take out the lip balm.  I just made it easier for her by placing a few pieces of removable tape.  I didn't take a pic of the card after I placed it in a glassine bag decorated with ribbon and heart doily(*pfft...next time*).  But, anyways, it was a fun project!

My next card is for my friend, Nancy, who loves owls!  The owls are also from MFT.  And, here is my card...


I colored the owls with copics.  The heart stencil is from MFT.  The white panel was die cut using a Mama Elephant die.  And, the twine is from SU.  

Ok, that's all for now.  I'll be back in a couple days to reveal my planner for Paper Sweeties.  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take good care!

Hugs,
Maria
