For my Valentine's

I created this Valentine for my Son and Daughter and gave it to them on Valentine's Day this year. When I discovered I could combine the puffiness of Close to my Heart's liquid applique with the cuteness of this lamb stamp from the "Howdy" set- I could NOT resist that adorableness!

If you were able to attend my New Idea Book reveal party at the end of January you were able to create this card for yourself as a make-n-take project! We used the heat gun to make the dried liquid applique "fluff". The patterned papers are from the Stella Paper Pack. I provided a pre-cut heart shape that I cut on my cricut out of Cranberry Red Card Stock with my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. We used the micro-tip scissors to trim out the lamb and also added a little color for the nose and hooves with the blender pens.

The "Happy Valentine's Day" stamp is from the December Stamp of the Month from 2011 called "Mad about you". I stamped it on the inside and on the flap of the envelope. What do you think?

I entered this card in the Heart 2 Heart blog challenge from Close to my Heart. I also have it available for purchase in my Etsy Shop.

I used my stamp set to create a Valentine! I put Feb 14th on my circle. I cut the round scallop card with the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge. I set it to 5 1/2 inches. This will fit in our square white envelopes that are 6x6. (Just remember there is a little bit of extra postage to mail square cards). You might recognize the tiny polka dot heart from the December Stamp of the Month!
