Valentine's Day Custom Cards

 Hello there!

Today in Ontario Canada, we celebrate Family Day!  Usually, my family visits my parents where we have some pond hockey, chili to eat and usually a birthday cake for me.  :)  This year we will be following the COVID protocols and look forward to next year.  

In the mean time, let me share with you the Valentine's Day cards I made for a wonderful couple to give.

The first was a card made to give to their parents.  So cute! used the Retired Grandma's House Stampset, Itty Bitty Christmas Stampset, Stitched So Sweetly, Be Mine Stitched Dies and my favourite Stampin' Blends.  

Next card is a love card.  I used the retired Parisian Dies (I cut out three of them and layered them to really give some dimension) and the Stitched Shapes Dies.💕

My next two cards were made for their daughters so I couldn't resist creating some Valentine's day Gnomes.

Lots of punches and dies on these!  Stitched So Sweetly (of course - can't seem to make a card without these lately), retired Tropical Dies, Pine Tree Punch, Small Oval Punch (nose and feet) and Heart Punch Pack.

And another, same card, different patterns.

Love these cards and love to help people send love to their families.

Coming Home Blog Hop

Hello everyone!

Today I am participating in a Blog Hop with everyone making a project using the Coming Home Suite.

Do you have this one yet?  It is in the holiday catalogue.  These little houses and street scape images can be used for so many different cards.  Follow me.  You could create the obvious Christmas, Halloween, House Warming, Birthday, Retirement, the list goes on.  Getting them with the coordinating dies will save you 10%

Here is the card I created to share with you today.  

And if you get the bundle, you should also get the Designer Series Paper ;)  It is so stinkin' cute!  This was my starting point in creating my card.  There is a large scene pattern in the DSP pack that I wanted to utilize and a simple fancy fold card allowed me to use it effectively.

The card base I used is 4 1/4 x 11, scoring at 5 1/5 to give a long gate style card.  Then I cut the front of the card in half on the short side.  So when you open the card, you have only a narrow card front.  This allows  you to see more of the DSP.

Here is the inside of my card.  It is a piece from the top of the paper.  I thought that the pattern was light enough you could write your message directly onto it.  

Here is a close look of the front of the card.  I used two stitched rectangles as a base for the images.  They are stamped in Memento Ink and coloured with Stampin' Blends.  The greeting is framed using a die from the Hippo Happiness Dies and the greeting itself is from Itty Bitty Crhstimas.

The front of the cardbase is layered using the bottom of the scene pattern of the DSP.  I finished the card off with a bow.

Be sure to hop on through to see all of the wonderful creations that we made using the Coming Home Suite.

Happy Stampin'
