Welcome 2012!~ (and two valentine cards)

Hello everyone and Happy New Year to all of you!  I hope that your holiday season was wonderful and relaxing...and lots of crafting was done!

Now that the holidays are over, we can focus on the New Year...taxes and Valentines! (Hopefully not in that order!)

It took me a while to stop seeing red and green!  I want to present two pretty little cards for Valentine's Day.

First up: A Doily Valentine Card

I used white doilies and glued them to my card.  I didn't color them.  All I have is a patterned background (Echo Park) and a punched piece (Martha Stewart).



Close Up!
I really like using doilies in my work.  They add that bit of Victorian feel.



Second Card: Valentine Bling

I punched an edge design in the bottom of my card and backed the front with pink shimmer paper.  I threaded dark pink ribbon through the punched openings.  I added clear crystals above and white pearls below the ribbon.

I edged my card with Vintage Photo.  It's still pretty plain.  I think I am going back and adding a stamped design on the front using VersaMark...probably writing.  I think that will help this card out.  I'll add a picture when its done.

Close Up!
This time I punched the heart in red shimmer paper.


I hope that these cards inspire you to make your own.  Thanks again for stopping by.
