XO Gate Fold Card

Hugs & Kisses!!!

Valentine's Day is nearly here so I thought I'd share this fun Gate fold card with you.

I started with a Gate Fold Crescent A2 card with band from Creative Cuts and More.

I stamped, colored, and cut out Xavier and Oliver Bears (High Hopes Stamps) and adhered them to a few layers of die cut hearts.  

This picture shows the heart adhered to the band.

Then I decorated the inside.

It's so easy to create a really cute and original card when you start off with a cool die cut card like the 

Gate Fold Crescent A2 card with band.

And don't forget...you can order the colors you want custom cut just for you.  Terry has a HUGE selection of Stampin' Up and Bazzill colors to choose from.

Valentine File Folder Card

Hi all!

Kim here today to share this fun little Valentine I made from the File Folder die (cut in Onyx Shimmer Metallic cardstock) at Creative Cuts & More!

It's a pretty simple card - I stamped some fun Valentine images onto some raffle tickets & place tehm inside a glassine envelope; wrapped some red embroidery floss around it before I adhered it to the card & attached some fun flowers from the Making Memories Vintage Findings line. I cut out a vintage Valentine image to place on top of the envelope.

Inside, I stamped "Love You Much" & embossed it in red...

That's it! Just add a little love note & it's ready for my Valentine!!

Creative Cuts & More has a ton of cards & love-related dies to choose from, so be sure to check it out so that you can get your love notes done too!

See you soon!

Valentine Cake Box Treat...

Here's a pretty Valentine Cake Box Treat I created using the Cake Box die cut from Creative Cuts & More. These little cake boxes can be made so quickly and decorated for so many occasions. My image is from Fred, She Said and my sentiment is a dollar stamp from JoAnn's.

Cupid's Card

Hi all! Hope y'all joined us last week for our Valentine Idea Blog Hop! If not, you can check it out here. I was on a roll after the hop & just kept on making Valentines!

I used the Rectangle Window A2 Card cut in Quartz Shimmer Metallic cardstock; embossed it & added a strip of patterned paper along the bottom edge with the "Be Mine" sentiment.

Inside, I place another piece of patterned paper & added the cupid.

That's pretty much it - sweet & simple!

Vintagie Valentines

Hi all!

Becky here to share some Valentine’s Day ideas with you! 

I really only needed to do one card, but I got a little carried away! So, you get three ideas from me today!!

The first project I wanted to share is the adorable Milk Carton! I know, my last project was with the Milk Carton too, but I just adore it!!

This one’s pretty simple – I cut out some vintage Valentine images & adhered them to the sides of the white Milk Carton die from Creative Cuts & More! I plan to fill it with M&M’s for my daughter to give to her teachers next month!

Next, I used the Four Pane Window Scalloped Card to create another fun vintage Valentine,

After cutting out the vintage images of the kids, I stamped a Love definition onto a Petite Vintage Label; inked all the edges & adhered them to the front.

Inside, I used a Small Square Filagree label cut in pink velvet to “frame” the girl behind the window. I stamped a few little hearts in the corner with versafine ink.

Last, I did a rather funky card with the Filagree Rectangle Scallop Card & this fun Palmistry stamp by Tim Holtz…

After stamping the palm & cutting it out, I used another stamp by Unity (Ippity) Stamp Co. for the sentiment on another great Antique Label.

That’s it for me today!

Don’t forget to come back on the 19^th for our monthly hop for even MORE Valentine’s Day ideas from our team of talented designers!!

Love You Much

Hi, it's Lisa, and I've got a quick and easy project to share with you using Heart die cuts just in time for Valentine's Day.  For my card, I used the new Mono Die Tutorial from the February TJNL and the Heart #02 - Mini die cut  in Bazzil Watermelon Smoothies. The texture on the Hearts is from the CuttleBug Damask folder.  The Hearts are embossed and layered on a Bazzil Watermelon Smoothies panel, then to the Chocolate base card.

The image is Stampin' Up!'s Love you Much set.  I inked the image in Markers, stamped on the White card stock, colored the image, than added an adhesive gem to the center of the flower.

Details:
Stamps - Stampin' Up! Love you Much
Ink - Markers, Pixie Pink
Card Stock - Chocolate Chip, White, Bazzil Watermelon Smoothies
Other - Sponge Dauber, Adhesive Gem, Lattice Punch, Dimensionals, Creative Cuts and More Heart #02 Mini in Bazzil Watermelon Smoothies, Big Shot, CuttleBug Damask Folder

Button Heart Box

I ordered the Heart Pocket Box from Creative Cuts and More in this gorgeous metallic cardstock called Jupiter Stardream. Can you see the shimmer in this photo?

I didn't want to cover it up too much, so I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and cut it out with a heart shaped die. Then I poured out a container of buttons and just arranged to my heart's content. This Heart Pocket Box comes with holes punched out at the top, so all I had to do was assemble the box (using Killer Red Tacky Tape) and tie some ribbon through the holes.

Now can't you just see yourself making these in all different kinds of colors? You could order a pink box and use red buttons, or you go non-traditional and order a purple box and decorate with yellow buttons. Wouldn't that be fun? Go check out the fun die cuts over at Creative Cuts and More today and let your creativity go wild. :-)

Lindsay's Bell Box

How adorable! This Bell Box is cut from Bazzill Criss Cross textured cardstock in Katydid.

TIP: The Criss Cross textured cardstocks from Bazzill are dyed to match products from Doodlebug!

This pretty green is such a fun non-traditional choice for Valentine's Day, isn't it? And she added vintage buttons and a sewing pin with faux pearls strung on for an embellishment.

Love Card From Jenny

What a cute card from Jenny! This lovely valentine is an A7 Heart Window Card cut from Bazzill Smoothies in Cherry Splash.


Jenny traced the heart window onto white paper, cut it out and stamped some CDS Florishes on it. She then put it inside the window of the heart. She also stamped and cut out some hearts, then added some Crystal Effects and glitter to them and attached them with glue dots.

4x4 Valentine Album

Natasha Sansoni is another of our special Guest Designers, and here is here first CC&M project. She made a fun chipboard 4"x4" album for Valentine's Day.

As you can see here on the inside, she used the Antique Elegance Frame and the Heart #02 Small, both cut from Velvet Paper.

If you'd like to see more, Natasha has a special section within her gallery to show additional photos of her book.

Very cute! Thanks, Natasha!
