Blogger's Challenge 138: Valentine's

 
This week our theme is Valentine's and it worked perfectly for me as I decided this year I would make my little one's Valentine cards for school.
While I didn't go with a "traditional" Valentine colors on all of them, I wanted to use some of these new sets I got at CHA from Clear & Simple Stamps.  The set I used is called Cute as a Bug and it's got darling little bugs & very cute sentiments to it.

Card details:
Stamp Set: Cute as a Bug & Sweet Hearts from Clear & Simple Stamps
Cardstock: Yo-Yo Yellow, Basic Black, Whisper White
Inks: Yo-Yo Yellow, Little Black Dress, Copic markers
Accessories:  Stickles

Cardstock: Lovely Lilac,  Hibiscus Burst, Whisper White

Accessories:  Stickles

These Valentine's were very simple, I did them in an assembly-line style.  I stamped the one white panel with the Stamp of the Month, Sweet Hearts.  I love this background and can see myself grabbing for it well after Valentine's Day.

The last 2 cards I made, I used a new stamp I picked up at a stamp show I was at last weekend, helping DeNami Design.  Boy, I could have gone broke in their booth, their stamps are so cute and Nami & Gary were wonderful to work with.  You could really see the connections they had with their customers and Nami remembered a lot of the ladies that visited the booth from previous shows.
 
Card details:
Stamp Set: Tweety Birds with heart from DeNami Design,  Sweet Hearts from Clear & Simple Stamps
Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Real Red,, Whisper White
Inks: Real Red, Little Black Dress, Copic markers
Accessories:  Cotton Candy Pink Sparkly Fluff

The stamp I picked out with Valentine's in mind was the Tweety Birds with heart I used some Pink Sparkly Fluff for the hearts in between.
