February Birthday Cards!

I try to get cards out to all our loved ones each month... Here are the ones for February! I used a lot of scraps and some retired sets that I hadn't pulled out for a while! I really like how they turned out! I just had to add glitter to the girl ones!! I love glitter! Dazzling Diamonds is fabulous!

I Heart Thank You's

I made these quick thank you notes with some fun paper and the Full Heart Punch! Oh, and glitter of course!!

January Five for $5 Cards!!! #1

We had so much fun with these Valentine themed cards this month!! Yay!!
This first one was very simple - but very cute!! I made the card base with Whisper White and used the Corner Rounder punch for the bottom corners. I then punched five hearts from different patterned papers (no name) with the Full Heart punch. Then I simply embellished them- using glitter, string, a Prima flower and a stamp from the All Holidays stamp set- before mounting them! Easy peasy!
Hope you like the rest from this month!

January Five for $5 - Card #2

Loved this one!! I used Bermuda Bay for the card and a retired stamp from Love and Joy to make the swirlies around the edge in Bermuda Bay ink. The red Top Note I punched out at Jeanne's with the FABULOUS Big Shot! I really need to get one!! The red paper is just some no-name stuff I was trying to use up! I then punched a Full Heart from Pretty in Pink and a Scallop Circle from Whisper White. I cut the scallop in half and, using the Crop-o-dile, placed the eyelets in! So fun! Then I just glued it on and stamped the sentiment (retired - For a Friend) and added the glitter - Dazzling Diamonds - with the 2 way glue pen! Cute!!

January Five for $5 - Card #3

This cute card was made from Real Red cardstock. I made a 3x3 square of Kraft paper and punched out a Full Heart. Then I punched a Full Heart from Pretty in Pink and glued them done (trimming off the heart edge to make it flush). I then punched the cute little Raccoon from the Love Bandit stamp set (Occasion Mini) in Basic Black on Whisper White. I colored him in with a Close to Cocoa marker and colored his little heart with a Pretty in Pink marker before putting some Crystal Effects over the heart. The white is punched with the Curly Label punch and the sentiment is also fromt he Love Bandit set - LOVE it!! I also used my white gel pen to add the accents around the square (before gluing down the raccoon piece!)

January 5 for $5 - Card #4

I got this idea from someone's blog... but I can't find the link!! Grrr! Oh well! It is adorable! Thanks!
I used a Taken with Teal card base, which I punched the Scallop Edge punch along the bottom. The fishies are in Pumpkin Pie, stamped with the Delightful Decorations stamp set and punched with the Ornament punch! You then make the tails and the lips with hearts punched with the Heart to Heart punch! The eyes are just your standard hole punch and the eyelashes are drawn on! I used the Small Heart punch for the Real Red hearts and the bubbles were from the Something Sweet set from the new Occasions Mini! I, of course, had to glitter them using the 2-way glue pen. The sentiment is from the You and Moi? Stamp set, stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink, punched with the Large Oval and layered over a bit of patterned paper punched with the Scallop Oval. I think that about covers it! Go make some!!

January Five for $5 - Card #5

This cute little card was my favorite!! I just love the yellow and red! I used So Saffron for the card. The Top Note was punched out at Jeanne's on her Big Shot! Real Red for the layers and Whisper White for the stamped pieces. The stamp set is Something Sweet from the Occasions Mini (118589) and a heart from the I {heart} Hearts set (118571) - also from the Occasions Mini! The ink I used: Basic Black, Real Red, Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose. I also used a bunch of punches: Small Heart, Scallop Oval and Large Oval, and Corner Rounder. The Red Gingham ribbon just adds a nice touch! Very fun Valentine's card!
