Valentine's Day Cards

Hi Scrappers! I hope that everyone is having a fantastic weekend. So I have started attending church here in town. I just felt like something was missing from my life and I was needing a little guidance. At the church they have a program called Girlfriends. In this organization women come together for fellowship. I attended my first get together this past Thursday at a local restaurant. It was a blast. I fit in so nicely there. What is even better is they have a scrapbooking get together as well. I think it was meant to be. Anyway, onto the cards. I have created 3 different Valentine cards. A goal this year is to have enough cards made up for different occasions. Trying to scramble to get  card designed and put together takes some time. I want to be able to grab, sign, and go. That's not to much to ask. So I'm trying to get ahead start. I hope you enjoy these 3 cards.

Materials:

--Card #1:

• This is a 4x4" card cut from Stampin Up Crumb Cake cardstock. 
• White scallop was punched using the Fiskers Threading Water punch. 
• Red heart patterned paper is from the Martha Stewart Holidays Mat Pad and is cut at 1.5x4".
• The heart is from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge and I used my Gypsy to place small holes inside the heart to show the pink background. The heart is cut at 2"
• I used a pink button from my stash and attached it with a glue dot. I used some embroidery floss through the holes of the button.
• A little white faux stitching around the heart and the kraft card stock and that finishes up this card. 
• I used the We-R-Memory Keepers Corner Chomper to round the bottom corners.

--Card #2:

• This is a 4.25x5.5" standard A2 sized card in white card stock.
• Light pink layer is cut at 4x5.25".
• Red designer paper is from the Martha Stewart Holiday Mat Pad and is cut at 3.75x5".
• The stripped pink stamp layer is cut from the Create-a-Critter cartridge at 3.5"
• White layer is cut at 2 3/8 x 1 7/8"
• Love is cut from the Create-a-Critter cartridge at 3.5"
• Brown ribbon was from my stash and I wrapped it around the light pink and red MS paper using the "cheater method".
• I added two white buttons from my stash as well. 
• I used a Zig brown pin to doodle around the white layer on the stripped pink paper.

Card #3:

• This is a 4.25x5.5" standard A2 sized card cut in white card stock.
• The pink background is from the Martha Stewart Holiday Mat pad and is cut at 4.25x5.5" and layered directly onto the white card stock.
• The brown layer is cut from Stampin Up Early Espresso card stock at 4x3"
• The tan layer is cut at 3.25x4.25.
• The dark pink layer is cut at 4x3" and was ran through the tiny hearts embossing folder. 
• I used  bakers string and tied it around the dark pink/tan layer.
• The love stamps were cut using an exclusive Cuttlebug embossing/die set that came with my machine. I believe it's called the Celebration Stamps. I used the Love and cut it from Stampin Up Early Espresso, Real Red, and Pretty in Pink card stock. I attached the stamps together and popped the group up on foam squares. 
• I used the We-R-Memory Keepers Corner Chomper to round the two right corners. 

All these cards were easy to do. Happy Scrappin!
