Valentine Blessings from Heaven

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 576. My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 566 - Doing the Mambo wearing Pink eating Pumpkin Pie. I found some dp in my age old stash that worked for the CC. WOW. I love it when that happens. I seamed the pretty in pink and dp with a thin ribbon. I cut and embossed the scallop and smooth edge hearts, layered them, and popped them up on dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in melon mambo on the front and envelope.

The sentiment from Blessings from heaven was stamped on the inside in melon mambo. Hope you like it.

Sweet Talking Full of Love for You

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 575 where I took a small liberty changing the circle to a heart. My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 565 - What's Black and White and Red all over?". How could I resist making a valentine card with these colors in this weeks challenge? Well I couldn't so I did. What I could do is figure out how to include the odd shape for Monday's TLC and white on white for the CAS challenge this week. LOL. So just 2 challenges for me today but I love how it turned out.
I dry embossed the Darice Hearts diagonal embossing folder on white and matted it on the white cs base then cut the heart from some real red cs. I popped up the black ribbon under the LOVE sentiment cut from black cs.

Hope you like it as much as I do. Have a fabulous day my stamping friends.

For the inside I stamped a sentiment from SU's Full of Life set using cherry cobbler ink and the envelope I stamped the solid heart in cherry cobbler then the open heart and sentiment in momento tuxedo black ink on the front left corner of my envelope.

I cut and embossed the heart nestie 2 largest sizes using white cs then cut the sentiment in white and cherry cobbler. I wanted to use the largest scalloped heart for the base but it seems to have grown legs and walked off.

Love you in Numbers

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 521 - Negative & Positive, and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 312 - Age is just a number. This card started as also including today's Mojo Sketch but I failed at it so took a slight turn and still not sure I like the end result. I cut and embossed the solid red heart using both dies then cut out the pink heart and sponged with the die in place using cherry cobbler ink. I glued the removed sections out to the cherry cobbler heart and popped it up over the negative cut and sponged heart.
My sentiment was cut from Ginger alphabet form Quickutz, I used the 7 for the L , zero for the O, V for the V, and 3 for the E.
Hope you like it better than I do.

A Perfect Blend of Espressing Yourself

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 525 and Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 515 - A Really Crumby Espresso. I also did the dessert making 2 cards. I made them in a contrast form. I used 2 of Stampin up Sets, Espress Yourself and Perfect Blend. I used the coffee beans to make my background using tone on tone on the choc chip card. I colored the coffee cups with copics, cut out the middle of both and popped them up after stamping in real red. The hearts were punches and then embossed with my Quickutz goosebumps Swirls then I brushed the tops of the raised portions with choc chip ink pad. Hope you like them. I have a couple of good friends at work that will see these for valentines day along with a candy cane.

Pure White Love

This is for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 516 - White Out and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 307 - Use Your Words.
This is for my darling hubby next month. I love him so much and on the inside I will write "My love for you is as pure as the color white". Hope he likes it. I used 2 sizes of scalloped and classic Nestability Hearts. The largest classic is the actual card and the larger scalloped is matting the card. I used my quickutz "love" letters and popped them up on dimensionals as well as the 2 matted smaller hearts. It is amazing how just white can make such an elegant creation.
