A Valentine treat.

Good morning!  I've got a Valentine treat to share with you this morning.  I've been having so much fun making Valentine cards and treats, I hope I can find lots of people to give them to.  Lol.

For the outside of my card I used the bird image from the Your Friendship set from Ippity, you can find this set at Get Hippity with Ippity.  I colored the image with BIC Markits.  The DP is Studio G.  This time for my treat box card I decided to make a full card instead of a pocket and tag.

Here is the inside of the card.  The sentiment and heart images are also from the Your Friendship set.  I stamped the hearts with Versamark ink and embossed them with white embossing powder.

Happy Birthday x 3

Good morning!  I wanted to pop in and share some cards I made the other day before the storm begins and the power goes out, which seems to happen every time we have a storm.  All the supplies for these cards are from a swap I participated in last month.  I finally got around to using some of them.  Yay!

Except for the small doily on the first card that I cut with a Spellbinders die, all other supplies were in the package.  I don't know any of the companies.  I had fun coordinating the papers, ribbons and embellishments to come up with 3 different cards.  I think they came out pretty well.

Thanks for looking.  Have a great day.
