1. Red speckles stamped on pink background. Die-cut hearts, center one popped up.
2. Stamped and colored image on a 4.25 x 4.25 inch square card. This one is for my youngest niece. Left heart is a die-cut.
3. Thin ribbon wrapped around dark pink panel. Die-cut heart popped up for dimension.
4. Rub-on hearts on white panel, mounted on red, then pink. Pink ribbon behind center panel.
5. More rub-on hearts with a stamped greeting.
6. Die-cut hearts in center, stamped image at bottom right. Wide red ribbon across front.
7. This was a fun one to make. I used an image from my Mary Engelbreit page-a-day calendar that says, "Peace & Love, Baby!" A felt heart and some funky fiber tie it all together.
8. Rub-on hearts with a stamped greeting, and stamped speckled background.
9. Another page of the Mary Engelbreit calendar with felt hearts and flower and 1/4 inch gros grain ribbon.
10. More rub-on hearts. I generally don't like rub-ons because they can be a major pain in the butt, but these were in a kit I received from a friend and I wanted to use them up.
11. This is a square 4.24 x 4.25 inch card. Red speckles were stamped on lighter red cardstock, and a large heart die-cut mounted in center, popped up for dimension.
12. Rub-on hearts with a stamped greeting.
13. 1/4 inch ribbon frames a popped up die-cut heart. Corners decorated with heart-shaped brads. Card is 4.25 x 4.25 inch square.Bratty * Maddy Barone * Alice Audrey * Colleen

They are all great, but I really like the hot stuff one.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous, Heather. It's hard to pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteMy personal favorite has to be number 13. I don't know why, but it really apppeals to me. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely creative! I wish I could do things like that. Excellent use of your time during the game.
ReplyDeleteYou are very creative! I wish my keyboard had a heart.
ReplyDeleteAwwww.... :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TT,

13 Things I Should Have Said
Wow, how creative you are. I am impressed.
ReplyDeleteYou're so creative. I like #5 and #7 the best.
ReplyDeleteHappy T13!
I like #5 and #11. But they are all lovely. I still love making them. My youth group I lead made cards for the local nursing homes.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteAlice: Thanks, I hope The Bug likes it as well. :)
ReplyDeleteShelley: Thank you!
Kimberly: Thanks, I liked the way that one came together. *g*
KS: Thank you. I usually have some sort of craft project in hand when watching TV, especially football. I can't just sit idly doing nothing for a 3-4 hour chunk of time. Usually it's cross-stitch, but occasionally I pull out the paper supplies.
Colleen: Ah, but the keyboard does have a heart. See:

Press alt + the number three on your number keypad (right side of keyboard).
Xakara: LOL -- thanks! ☺
Thanks, Anita! I was aiming for clean and simple designs in order to get as many done in four hours as possible. Plus, the more layers and embellishments, the harder they are to mail. *g*
Adelle: Thank you. Number 7 was for an older niece and, I think, fits her personality.
ReplyDeleteMary: Thanks! That is a great thing your youth group did. A friend and I regularly contribute cards to a group that sends homemade cards to troops stationed overseas to send home to their families. We really need to get cracking on a batch for Easter!
Darla: Thank you! :)
those are some cute valentines :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kaye!
ReplyDeleteThose are all so pretty!

My TT is at http://paigetylertheauthor.blogspot.com/
those are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteit must be fun to spend that time with your hands. I ended up just sending pre-made valentines. maybe next year some ones like yours instead.
Very cute! I especially like the Mary Engelbright calendar one.
ReplyDeleteI love the hot stuff one. These are so awesome! I'm envious.
ReplyDeletePaige: Thank you!
ReplyDeletePearl: I love making things with my own two hands, and have been making my own cards about ten years now. I rarely ever buy a store bought one.
Maddy: Which one? There were two cards featuring ME images. *g*
Jennifer: Aw, shucks... Thanks! ♥
Beautiful! Happy T13.
ReplyDeleteI love these! We bottled beer and ate chicken strips and jo jo's during the game, but all it gave me was a good dose of aggravation and a queasy stomach! Your work is much better!
ReplyDeleteMercy: Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBratty: LOL - I don't know what jo jo's are, but I would have gladly helped eat the chicken strips. :)
They're all so pretty! And thanks for the one you sent me. I got it Saturday and it (along with a Java Chiller) perked me right back up. ;-)
ReplyDeleteJana: Glad I could help perk up your sucky Saturday! :)
