Cupcake Turtle Valentine

Good Morning Ladies,
I guess the rain lulled me to sleep. I slept in a little this morning. I really did not want to do that but it is what it is.
Today my card is Cupcake Turtle Valentine
 This turtle image is from Stamping Fools. He is very cute and I think would make a great Birthday card also. I stamped him on bristol paper and colorized him with copic markers. He is popped up on a heart die-cut created with a spellbinders die set. The sentiment on the front is also cut with the same die set. Pearls grace the tops of the hearts.
This is the inside of the card.

turtle card

Good Morning Ladies,
Today is the day I go to get my hair done. I love going to the beauty shop and getting my hair done. It is relaxing for me. My sister is my beautician and she does a wonderful job.
My card for you today is a turtle card.....
 Here's that cute turtle again from Inky Antics. This time I used him with the sentiment stamp from the same set. This is a pretty simple card. I colorized him with copic markers and hand cut him. He sits on two layers cut from a spellbinder set. The card base was double matted with the same card stock. A green and white ribbon finishes this card off.
This is the inside sentiment. A little corny but that's perfect for me.

Duck Valentine

Good Morning Ladies,
It looks like we are headed into the mud season early. The dogs are off and running this morning another bath will be required soon I fear.
My card for today is Duck Valentine
 Another valentine using Inky Antics stamps. I just love them. This is a simple card that evokes memories of that childhood valentines box for school made out of a shoe box.

Be Mine Turtle

Good Morning Ladies,
Another Valentine today. Be Mine Turtle....

This card was created using an Inky Antics turtle. He did not come as a Valentine set but I thought he was perfect for one. I colorized him using Copic markers. The hearts are from a cricut cartridge.

Long Time Giraffe

Good Afternoon Ladies,
I have been working away on Valentine cards. But other cards are begging to be created. So a card here a card there are not Valentines. Here is one that is not a Valentine....
Long Time Giraffe ....
Another card made with the stamps my mom gifted me...
 This giraffe is another Inky Antics image. He was stamped on Bristol paper and colorized with Copic markers. Yes I busted my copics out. He was then hand cut. The sentiment is from the same set. Two colors of textured card stock seemed right for this cute guy. I used a spellbinder set to frame him out.
This is the inside of the card.

Lion Valentine

Good Morning Ladies,
I am up and at it early as usual. I'm going to do a little laundry today. More creating is on the agenda. What is a cold winter day for anyway.
I have a Lion Valentine for you today! This card was created using another stamp set my mom got for me. It is from Inky Antics.
 I think this Inky Antics lion is just delightful. I stamped, cut and colorized him three times. He is 3-D popped up on the card using CTMH pop tape. The hearts were cut by my mom and my friend. The sentiments are from the same Inky Antics set. Dsp covers the card base. Next is a layer of white glitter paper. To top this card off a knotted ribbon is tied at the bottom.
 A view of the 3-D lion.

Labrador Dog Sweetheart

Good Morning Ladies,
I am getting back into the swing of things by creating some Valentine cards. I love pink and red anyway, so I am enjoying this. I did get four new dog stamps in and am creating with the stamps my mom got me for Christmas. I love having new stamps for a new year!
Here is my first valentine.... Labrador Dog Sweetheart
 To create this card I started with my new black Labrador dog stamp. I stamped him on bristol paper with black memento ink and then hand cut him out. The heart shape was cut by a friend of mine with her cricut. The back ground paper was all the embellishment that this card needed.
This is the inside of the card.
Happy Scraps,
