Valentine Cards

I played around with some Valentine card ideas today & this is what I came up with! My brain is VERY stumped on cards for this particular occasion - maybe that's why I still buy the $3 ones for the kids at Wal-Mart?! Thankfully I only need a couple for Ethan's teachers (sorry if you were expecting one!!!)


This one is probably the simplest & my fave out of the three. A little heart "flower", red embossing powder & some ribbon....


This one has red mesh on it. I was undecided as to whether I should use black or red for the word "love" - Miles said black because it would break things up a bit but after I did it, I think staying with all red might have looked better? Opinions?


I've used the Like it a Latte set again on this card, as well as the LOVES ME paper. It's a little busier than I wanted but needed to valentine-ize it! Not a fave :)

Nice work!

Valentines Day stumps me a bit too when it comes to my sewing crafts. I wonder why this occasion is so difficult?

I like the first one, too.

And it was really nice of Miles to give his imput... I think the black looks fine, and you had the black on the "be mine" as well.
