Anatomical Valentine's Day Card

What's this? A card?  Yes, I managed to find a little time to create something, besides babies. 
My brother asked me to make him something for his girlfriend.  He's pre-med, and she's in med school already, so an anatomically correct heart seemed appropriate.

It's pretty simple.  My craft room isn't completely unpacked yet.  (it's been over a year, I know!)

I pressed the white paper with my Cuttlebug to give it the dot texture.  And it's got sparklies, I love sparklies!

The heart, I stamped and embossed it with clear powder.  So it's a little bit shiny, and raised up.

The inside I stamped Happy Valentine's Day, per my brother's request. 

I guess he's happy with it.  I haven't heard, but I look forward to finding out how she liked it. 

Stay tuned for more.. the ladies are nearly 6 months old!

Valentines Day Cards

I didn't make that many Valentine's Day cards this year, but I'll post the ones I did make.

This one is for my sister, and her kitty T-bone. I used the Cricut to cut out the hearts and put some little pearls on them...and on her bow. The stamp is from the Wild Sprouts series at The Greeting Farm.

Ha! Since I had to color him black his eyes got colored over, so I had to make them myself..and they're a little freaky looking, but oh well. I used some pop dots to raise her up off the card. I did the same with the hearts, but in a cascade sort of way. The small heart is level with the card surface, and the larger hearts are raised up. It looks pretty cool in person.

I used another heart on the inside.

I made this one for my mom. The stamp is from the Miss Anya series, of course, from The Greeting Farm. I used the Cricut to cut out the white and red place for the sentiment. And the heart flourish. I put red and white stickles on as much as I could, because I love them.

I used my Cuttlebug on the red background. The mosaic tiles are probably the coolest things ever. I saw them at Hobby Lobby and immediately thought of my mom. We used to own a mosaic shop, in case you didn't know.

Yay stickles!

Anyway, that's what I have for Valentine's Day. I already posted my husband's card earlier, that I made for a Farm Fresh Friday contest a few weeks ago.

Have a Happy Valentine's Day.

Valentines Day Treat Pouches

So Valentine's Day is this weekend, so the next few posts will be concerning that subject..

Since it's Friday, and I won't be working on Sunday I'm taking treats to work today.

I made sour cream containers filled with Hershey's kisses for each of my coworkers..yeah, don't you wish you worked with me...

I took a few pictures so you could really see what they look like. This is from the top, obviously this one is Adam's.
These were really easy to make, however, since I made them yesterday the glue is starting to come apart, I hope they hold long enough for me to get them to work. I guess I'll need another stronger glue if I ever want to make these again...any suggestions?

I made different colors for everyone. These don't have the name tags on them yet, but you get the idea.
YUM! Everybody needs a little emergency chocolate.
I have some extra candy that doesn't fit into the containers, so I made a little box thing to hold the extra. I made 2, but I only took pictures of one. I made this with my Cricut (it's pronounced cricket..like the bug..just in case you didn't know..you know who you are.) I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge.

I just stamped something simple onto one of the sides. It was really easy too.

I have some Valentine cards that I made, I'll post them later, I want to make sure they get to their destination before I put them up here, so there is no sneak peak.

Valentines Day Shaker Card for FFF

I entered the Farm Fresh Friday contest over at The Greeting Farm this week. The contest is Glitter this week, so I made a glitter shaker card. Perfect I know :-)

The stamp I used is from the Wild Sprout series they have, they are all so cute, but I chose to use Stella.

I cut the circles with my Cricut, I even cut the clear window with the Cricut..it worked like a charm.

This glitter is by Martha Stewart..Martha knows how things should be. I mixed 2 kinds, regular glitter and tinsel glitter..you can't really tell, but it looks awesome.

The letter and the Love are done with Stickles...more glitter.

You can't really tell, but I used a glaze pen on all the little dots on the heart paper...it really gives it a little extra.

This was a really fun card to make, it's my 2nd shaker card, and they just keep getting easier..I hardly made any mess with all the glitter. :-)
