Fun Valentine cards

Today is Valentine's Day!  I always make a mushy card for my husband, but this year I also made fun cards for my kids.   The first one is my son's card.  He LOVES kitties!!

I used Stampendous Pop Up Kitties Stamp and Die set. I colored the kitties with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I don't have the official pop up die for this set, so I used an Action Wobble on the head.  My DP is DCWV Playful Pets.  The hearts are cut with Spellbinders Scalloped Hearts.   The "Happy Valentine's Day" is Raisin Boat Playing Cupid.

Challenges...
Papercraft Challenges #30 - something new (cat stamp and die set)
Show Us Your Pussycats Challenge #139 - furrything goes
Cutie Pie Challenge #132 - one for the boys (this is my son's Valentine card)
2 Crafty Critter Crazies #23 - anything goes w/ critter
Die Cut Divas February - love is in the air
Crafty Cardmakers #227 - love, love, love
Die Cuttin' Divas #407 - love


Here is one daughter's card... she loves Asian food!

My image is from Kawaii Sushi from Prettygrafikdesign on Etsy.  It's colored with Spectrum Noir markers and cut using Spellbinders Squares.  The heart is Spellbinders Scalloped Hearts. Raisin Boat Playing Cupid clear sentiment.

Challenges...
Cuttlebug Mania - be my Valentine
Cute N Crafty Challenges #20 - Valentine's Day/love


I've got 4 kids, here are 2 more cards I sent to my daughters in college...

Both of these images are also from Prettygrafikdesign.

If you're celebrating, have a Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow, but also remember that every day is a good day to say "I love you" to those around you!!!

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!!

Birdie birthday - TMS #479

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Here's my birdie birthday card...

My image is another from my pile of printed and waiting images.  This one's been waiting a loooooong time!  It's from Doodle Pantry which closed almost 2 yrs ago!  I cut the navy and yellow paper on my Cricut using Make the Cut to frame my image which I had adhered to a Kraft card.  My DP is Pebbles Family Ties.  The clear sentiment is Sweet n Sassy Pennant Party.  I added a tiny Flora Doodle flower.

In the meadow - TMS #387

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  

I've got a winter card today.  This is more wintery than our real winter has been.  I love snow, but we don't have much.  :(  We're getting some snow/sleet/freezing rain today.  Kind of yucky, but here's a couple of cute snowmen to cheer you (and me) up!! 

They are cute, but this guy below should make you laugh... we always build a snowman with our first snow which came near the end of October this year.  We got very little!!  Look at this pathetic little guy!  Haha!

Enough whining... back to my card.   My DP is Recollections Cozy Lodge.  My image is From the Heart Stamps "In the Meadow Snowmen."  It was printed on Kraft and colored with Spectrum Noir Markers and a white Galaxy Marker.  All my panels were cut out with Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics.  


Here's our sketch for the week.  This is Melissa's favorite from last year...
