Before I put all of the Valentine stamps away, I had to put together just one more card:

Used some very old stamps that I have always liked. Put crystal effects on those little hearts. 

I am sharing this card with the Paper Players theme challenge #527 All about Hearts or Stars

and with Just Us Girls word challenge #570 Valentine

Thanks for looking in on my mouse Valentine.

Valentine's Day is next weekend, and I have one more card to get in the mail:

Used heart dies on vanilla cardstock with patterned paper showing through the openings. Drew faux stitching with a brown marker. Other things used are a suede brown and a cherry red cardstock, beige lace, a corner rounder punch, a stamped sentiment, and some very light sponging around the edges of the vanilla c/s.

I am entering this card in several challenges:

Watercooler Wednesday #WWC307- Anything goes with a Feminine Twist

and  Inspired By #160 - Krafty Love 

I was inspired by those vintage, puffy hearts with the flowers and lace.

Thanks for looking in! ........

 Just spending the day making a few Valentines for friends:

And I am definitely needing to use up some very old patterned paper.

Other papers used are vanilla, autumn rose, and a suede brown. Other things used are Nestabilities, die cuts, embossing folders, ribbon, twine, gems, and pearls, etc. Wasn't sure which way I wanted the layout to be, so I did it both ways. 

Thanks for looking in...

I am entering these cards in several challenges:

Little Red Wagon challenge #587 Total Eclipse of the Heart

and Just Us Girls challenge #570 Valentine

My story is - I had this idea in my head before Valentine's Day, but I wasn't sure how I was going to do it.

I wanted to put some hearts in a box, but didn't have a single box stamp. But today, I found a very old stamp with a cat in a box. This stamp is stored with some cat stamps that I rarely use and I didn't remember that I even had it. (I must have too many stamps )  :^)

Even though Valentine's Day is over, I really do have a purpose for this card......

So,
Here is what I did:

The image was stamped onto kraft c/s and cut out with extra front panels and the cat was covered up with a bunch of punched hearts. That's all.....

I am sharing this card with Little Red Wagon challenge #537-Have a Heart

Thanks for looking in.....

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's my Valentine for Richard:

Used some heart dies n punches n twine n dsp and some love.  I was inspired by various sizes of hearts everywhere, especially on the pillows and mantel, so I created a clean and graphic design.....
