"Valentine Cards"

[M_A_A_B]

Just making this into a 'Sticky' for our Valentine Cards...

Just wondering if anyone else has made a start on their valentine's card/s?

I had a cracking idea for one for my boyfriend...

[Janice]

I always do a Valentine Card as a class kit for my January crop - that is coming up on 27th and the card is made, just trying to source the papers now :D :D

One of my ladies made a Waterfall card - its fab!

[Little_Miss_Gem]

I have never made a card in my life, but really want to make one for dp this year.

What was your idea Amy?

[M_A_A_B]

My little dog Milo has a marking on him that looks like a heart...I've taken a photo of it and I'm going to use it to make Mark's card :D

here's a picture of Milo's 'heart' marking...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/M_A_A_B/Heart.jpg

[Janice]

Ooo that is a different idea! Cant wait to see the finished card!

[Little_Miss_Gem]

Aww! What a sweet marking. That sounds like a cool idea :) Can't wait to see it.

[M_A_A_B]

thanks :) I'm probably going to make it this afternoon...Mark's due home for lunch in a few minutes!

[gazania]

I have been making Valentines cards for a friend who is selling them for charity - I will take some pics tomorrow :D

[Hysteri-CAL]

I've started mine for school ...... Janice could we have a valentine thread card sticky please ?

[Janice]

Will do :D When I get time tomorrow, I'll take some of the other stickies down and merge them into the various topics :D

[Hysteri-CAL]

Fanks Janice xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:wub:

[Little_Miss_Gem]

That's pretty Cal! :)

[Hysteri-CAL]

..... a couple more i've rustled up while I had the sidekick out !!

[Cleoism]

Amy I love your card- that is such a cool idea. Thanks for the papers too. Mark seems great with kids Evan really took to him- he can be quite shy!!
I want to make a card too for James havent got any ideas yet though!!!
Cleo

[M_A_A_B]

Thanks Cleo :) Still havent made the card yet...my printer is playing up!

No probs about the papers...glad you like them :) Mark loves kids...he wants some of his own but I'm going to take some convincing! lol

[ErikaP]

I've done a couple using Robbie the Robo, they are in my Gallery. Trying to do something really different this year as Hubby is away in Barcelona. Won't be able to see his face, but just want to know that he'll be blown away.
ErikaP

[stressed]

ive made one so far, i designed it myself and got my craft robo to cut it.

its simple but looks quite good, its in my gallery

[dipurves]

This is one I made for my DH :)

[DawnS]

Thats pretty Diane I recognise that as an old kit, I cant remember the name of the shop now.
Bettines:D Does she still do kit?

[dipurves]

Hi Dawn - yes it is an old kit and it was Bettines Surprise Supplies - she does still do quite a lot of varied kits :)

[gazania]

I have been making Valentines cards for a friend selling them for charity. Here are some of them.

[joggy148]

ive made one so far, i designed it myself and got my craft robo to cut it.

its simple but looks quite good, its in my gallery


Hi stressed, have been trying for a few days to do a card similar to this but with a simple rectangle cut out and I can't for the life of me work out how to do it, does it work along the same lines as welded words / shapes?

GRATEFUL FOR ANY HELP!

[JaneH]

I just got the Feb issue of Paper Crafts magazine and they have the absolute BEST valentine cards I've ever seen! I'm going to try a couple of them!

[M_A_A_B]

Have now made the card I was talking about :)

it's in my gallery here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=104991&cat=501)

[FluffyNess]

Here is the one I made for my DH
The heart is iris folded but doesnt show up well
Hugs
Tracee

[gazania]

That's really lovely Tracee :D

[sharybo]

I've just posted two of mine in the card gallery.
Sharon x

[Hysteri-CAL]

Loads of gorgeous cards here - so much inspiration !!

[pab4778]

i have been making afew with a couple of bits i bought the other day. I dont have a huge amount of 'stock' to play with though as i thought i would see how well i did before spending too much money on items.

[stillscrapping]

Looking at all the samples just on this thread there's certainly some very talented people out there!! Very inspirational!!

I've made these (http://scrapbookingcastle.co.uk/store/index.php?main_page=)on the home page of my shop. I have to do quite a lot for various outlets and wanted something really quite easy to do but not boring. I think these are probably some of the most 'fun' ones I've done. I really enjoyed myself.

[proper_pixie]

Here are mine this year...

I've been wearing out my poor luckenbooth stamp once again LoL!

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d30/em_uk/valcards07.jpg

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d30/em_uk/valcards072.jpg

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d30/em_uk/valcard.jpg


The pics haven't turned out great as far as the embossing goes (can't see much shimmer or sparkle), and the one with the gold heart is an appeture card - you get the idea....

Em

[stressed]

joggy148 sorry ive only just seen your message, yes the techique is the same as a welded word.

[stressed]

ive made another valentine today i was given a breif of walking, wine, freshair, sunshine.

this is what i made

[crazyworld84]

Wow, that is amazing! I love it! :D

[jadzea]

Just a couple here, more in my photobucket

Here is a link to my Valentine's Card:

http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=106594&cat=501

[Janice]

That is lovely - like the use of Chipboard :D

[samsq]

My valentine card is here (http://www.craftisland.co.uk/catalog/gallery.php?cid=2&pid=225&page=7). Unfortunately it had to be a very quick card as DH is in Australia and I needed to get it posted in time.

[germgirl]

here is my one and only one, I dont think it seems finished but can't think what else to do to it, it's a 3 fold concertina with the hearts on the top of the sloping edge if you see what i mean :blink:

[Hysteri-CAL]

Jackie - that card is beautiful - it really doesn't need anymore !!!

Here's mine that i've just made hubster.

[germgirl]

Beautiful, what are the papers?

[Craftspirations]

I made two, one for Hubby, the very plain one and the other for my 10 year old to give to a girl in his class.

[Hysteri-CAL]

Beautiful, what are the papers?

Jackie, they're not papers - I used an All Night Media background stamp and black and red stazon.

[Hysteri-CAL]

Gail those cards are lush !

[jennycocks]

There are some really good ones there! I have done a couple of general love ones but I havent got time to upload the pics now, they are on my blog though a few posts down if anyone wants any ideas for a quick make one, they took me about ten mins each!

[kitzluvzcraftz]

Here are a couple of my offering this year!

[Lorraine]

I have one here too (http://www.justamemory.co.uk/catalog/gallery.php?cid=29&pid=179&rid=17&page=1).

[germgirl]

Jackie, they're not papers - I used an All Night Media background stamp and black and red stazon.


Oooooh, what a lovely effect! very nice :)

[Armenime]

Here is the link to the valentine card I made http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=107872

[maffie]

Just made mine for OH used loads of different textures.



http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g110/maffiebabe/Picture023.jpg

[ScrappyDandyDoo]

Here's (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=107856) mine - I used the Week 1 challenge as inspiration and DH hates red so did it blue

:)

DH has just got home from work and hadn't noticed the photo and message on the inside of the heart - the essence of the card:lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh well^_^

Julie xx

[Hysteri-CAL]

Oh wow girls - there's some absolutely fantastic cards here !!!!

[jennycocks]

I've uploaded mine now, too late for inspiration for anyone for Valentine's Day but would work equally well for engagement or love cards etc

http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=108015&cat=500&ppuser=5328

[Hysteri-CAL]

Oooh Jenny, I really like that card - very stylish ! Never thought of using my Suet pudding on the valentines cards I made this year, and I have stacks of it !! :lol:

[jennycocks]

Ah thanks - I must admit though - I got REALLY stuck on how to use them without the card looking a bit washed out! I really wanted to use the heart patterned paper but it would have been too much with a red heart. It took me ages to work out what to do to get the right effect. I thought the red stood out well - got there in the end!

[Siany]

Gorgeous card Jenny :D

[dorothyanne]

Love it Jenny

[Samm]

A jar of hugs and kisses!

[jennycocks]

Samm that's such a cute idea! How did you make that, a die-cut?

[Samm]

Hi, glad you liked it, it was for my DH. It was cut with my Cricut on the largest size and hinged together. It also had a plastic cover to make it look like a jar but that didn't show up in the scan.

[jennycocks]

Haha great idea, I bet whoever receives that one will love it!

[Gailh]

I've made a romantic card for the latest CardMakers United challenge, could be used for Valentine's Day (bit early I know...)

[EllePiggo]

Well, I may not be on top of my christmas cards yet - but I've made a start on valentines!! :D

Mum rang and said they were popping up - she never goes out without Dad so doesn't get a chance to secretly buy Dad a Valentines card - she asked if I could rustle one up for her.....

Jenny, that's a great way of using up some of those buttons we all (well i do) hoard.

[J0anne2403]

Looking for some help or suggestions, each year I have gone in search of stamps with beautiful wording, paying a small fortune for each I may add but I am running out of options now. Has anyone any nice poems, odes etc that would make a great insert for dh's card this year, I can't use the same stamps, he'll know lol

[J0anne2403]

[hbullen]

My card for DH. inspiration was from Heart Prints.

[Mole]

[susan42]

i love the photo of the dogs heart, i`m going to practice photography so i can use photos for cards, just downloaded some great digi software for scrapbooking.

[JaneH]

:wacko: I haven't got a blog :wacko:

Ooooops.... I meant TinyLady's blog! Sorry.....

[TraceyJ]

Just made valentine card for my DH.

it is HERE (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=150454&limit=recent)

[Gadget Monkey]

Here is the one I made for DH today, thought I would incorporate Tim Holtz tags with DHs card, here it is....

[HOPEJACK]

Wow Linda - Just love your card - it's fab :wub: Love the heart and wings too! How did you do that?

[Gadget Monkey]

The heart and wings were Tim Holtz grungeboard covered in the Ranger Crackle Paint, the idea came from Tim Holtz grungeboard, he made a tag using these too, and I kinda lifted it!!

[DawnS]

Its gorgeous, I love the texture on it.
What is the swirl?

[JaneH]

Here is the one I made for DH today, thought I would incorporate Tim Holtz tags with DHs card, here it is....

That's gorgeous... love the artsy, lush look -- just wish I could *do* it!:(

[JaneH]

I finished my DH's card tonight. I must have looked through 30 magazines for inspiration, but couldn't find anything I could adapt for my stash! So frustrating. Anyway, this turned out plain but couldn't find anything I liked in the shops either and wow are they expensive! :blink:

[germgirl]

Mine's here (http://thatruddyblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/hello-lynda.html) - I used my favourite Scenic Route Loveland papers :)

[Gadget Monkey]

Its gorgeous, I love the texture on it.
What is the swirl?

The swirl is also Tim Holtz grungeboard coloured with distress ink pad.

Love those two cards, I dont think it is too plain... and Jacquie I love your card!!

[TraceyJ]

Another card HERE (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=150520&cat=501) special order from my friend, to give her hubby.

[Flo]

oooooh Linda love your Timmy inspired card :love:

I went with hearts and wings too, can't get enough of them at the mo, slave to fashion me :D

here's mine:

went in the post yesterday, he might get it today, I'm nervous as hell as we've only been going out for 5 weeks (edited to add, it's actually 6 and a half weeks, I just worked it out, doesn't time fly when you're having fun? :D)

[quick how-it-was-done:

ecoline background over perfect pearls (makes it all nice and shimmery)

heart and wings painted with acrylics then dusted with copper pearl ex when the paint was still tacky

"valentine" cut out using a Cricut to let the black card blank show through

finished off with a bit of my precious 7 gyppos gaffer tape (I tell you, I must be smitten with this man, I LOVE my gaffer tape and am usually reluctant to use it on anything cos I'm scared of using it all up!)]

off to look back at all the others....

[karen433]

Loves the cards on here they are so inspirational.

[Flo]

Amy! love the heart marking on your dog! what a PERFECT photo for a card, clever, witty and so personal to the two of you. I couldn't see it in your gallery though.

Loads of the other cards are fab too, some really clever ones done on the old Robo

Proper_Pixie...I love love LOVE your luckenbooth stamp ....where did you get it? I want!!!

Curias..love the way you have made the heart with chipboard scrolls, clever, and looks beautiful

Maffie love the felt heart on yours

EllePiggo (great name lol), love both of yours too, chipboard always looks so effective, I should use it more

Tracy love the blacks and greens on yours

Germgirl, love yours too

Sorry for any I haven't mentioned specifically, they are all fab

lots of lucky blokes out there, here's hoping they appreciate all this hard work, eh? :D

(mine just rang, only left for work 20 mins ago, so I would expect the post to have been, but he didn't say anything, so either it hasn't turned up, or he hates it :) I'm hoping the former :D .....it's my mum's birthday today and I know when she was alive her birthday cards often turned up a day late as the post office seemed to process all the V-Day cards together to arrive in a batch, and her birthday cards would get caught up in the that, so fingers crossed he'll get it tomorrow.....)

[Gadget Monkey]

Flo, my post comes anytime from around 10.30 until 12.30, so his post may not have turned up yet....

Love your card, I feel the same way as you about using some of my bits as I dont want to use them all up!!! lol (Guess we could always buy more, but it just isn't the same)...

Flo did I see you mention you came from Buckhurst Hill, I used to live in Barkingside and went to school in Chigwell, and Youth Club at Buckhurst Hill, in fact my first DH came from BH.

[Flo]

Yes, Essex girl and proud, me :D

I went to school in Loughton, and lived in Buck Hill down near the Monkhams Inn and Roding Valley station

Left to go to Uni though, and never went back

I just went to look at your profile to see if I could find a birthday, in case we went to yoof club together :) Couldn't find a birthdate - but, do you really have 10 kids???? wow!

[JaneH]

Mine's here (http://thatruddyblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/hello-lynda.html) - I used my favourite Scenic Route Loveland papers :)

Wow...that's gorgeous! I love the layered look of the elements.

[CarolynP]

Wow, there are some lovely cards on this thread, the Tim Holtz one stands out esp, and I now have far, far too many ideas to use and am wondering how early I can get DH to go to bed tonight so that I can sit and make one...yup last minute that's me!

[smarty]

Eeep! Still got to make mine. Been poorly for a few days and haven't got organised. I even nearly bought one this afternoon but just couldn't bring myself to. So I've popped on here for inspiration and there are some lovely cards, well done!

[NickyRich]

Here is mine for hubby-have made so many for orders and then realised today I hadn't done one for Lee!!
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g149/NickyRich/P2130517.jpg

[Flo]

ooh that's LOVELY

i love the combo of dark reds and copper

ignore the pic below, just testing if I can still embed a pic from photobucket into a post, as I thought we couldn't do that any more, but you seem to be able to :)

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g101/Flos_pics/cricutstuff/lovehasgivenmewings_full1.jpg

yay! it works :)

[Gadget Monkey]

It also looks stunning.... great piccy...

[tree_saw]

ahhh i need to make one tonight LOL
talk about leaving it to the last minute

[craftingkaren]

heres a card i made for my son to give to his girlfriend and i also made a little gift for my daughter to give to her boyfriend (hes a boy and her friend, shes only 10 so definatley not a real boyfriend, as she keeps telling me!)

[brodders]

Karen what a lovely gift :)
I made this tonight for Dh:wub: I saw a mothers day card in m & S which gave me the idea to do a valentines card.

[DawnS]

Very trendy Jane.

[TraceyJ]

Ooo karen - I love that little bag of love hearts - that is such a sweet (pardon the pun) gift idea!!!

[swiftymum]

I am so proud of my DH - he made this (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=150656&cat=501) fab card for me and gave me a huge stack of rub-ons, stickers and papers too. He even bought a new set of acrylic stamps to make it with which i get to keep as well!

[TraceyJ]

What a wonderful hubby!!!!

Mine doesn't know what I already have - so wouldn't go and buy more - but I did get a beautiful (bought) card and 2 lovely bunches of Lilies (my fave flowers) :)

Aww - lucky you - my DH can't avoid my stash now - we have just moved everything into our new study/scraproom and it is all in neatly labelled boxes now, so I have high hopes for Mother's Day too now!

[joey73]

[Jue Jue]

[Pink Chocolate]

ive got to make a valentine card formy oh today but im doing it as a credit card size for him to keep in his wallet, i was wondering if anyone had any unusual design ideas whilst im sitting here thinking what to do

[swiftymum]

Love the idea of a small sized one - maybe you could get inspiration from the ATC forum...

Catherine, what a great card he made! I wish my DH would try it... he's always interested and asks lots of questions, but thinks he's too 'unartistic'. I tell him it's not about being artistic, it's about having fun and letting your imagination go....

And Joey73, what a fab card! I popped that into my favourites folder right away.

So much talent!

My OH pilfered some of my card stock last night, and hid in the kitchen for about an hour. He had brought some scrap paper home from work which had very interesting coloured designs on and hand cut 20 hearts and stuck them on a card, it looks very interesting. He also bought me a box of lush goodies titled True Love. This may not sound a lot, but the other week when we walked past Lush he said he cant go in the shop because all the smells make him sneeze, I said how much I loved Lush stuff but hadn't bought any in years and I know he went in with my son and bought it himself

[Flo]

Lush makes me sneeze too! I sympathise with your fella :) Just walking past it sets me off.

Lovely cards everyone

happy V-Day to one and all

[swiftymum]

What a sweetie Linda! He must really love you!

[Pink Chocolate]

[Nic]

Love the breakfast Jasmine!
I finally made one for dh this morning! There are more pics of the detail on my blog

[Flo]

awww @ the breakfast :)

yet more lovely cards

this attachment isn't a card, but a pressie

I can't take the credit for the artwork itself, that's a piece from a wonderful artist called Pam Glew from Brighton, I love her stencil/spraypaint art

But I altered a plain beech frame to kind of match/set off the piece - with a short story from an old copy of Jackie magazine, paints, copper leafing, and gloss varnish.

To be handed over at dinner tonight, I hope he likes it, I think he will, he has some nice original pieces of art already at home but nothing upstairs, and he was saying the bedroom walls looked a bit bare, so.... :)

I'm just waiting for the varnish to dry so I can wrap it up, you can't beat faffing about at the last minute :)

[TraceyJ]

[CarolynP]

Glad you like!

I don't post in here often cos when I do make cards it often isn't the traditional topper style ones I make.

[JaneH]

All I can say is that you lot are sooooooo talented! I've popped several of these into my favourites for inspiration!

[HOPEJACK]

Here's my DH's this year - inspired by Lousette Ashton's article in the last edition of Papercraft Essentials mag - I just love brown (kraft) paper!

The letters on the heart spell his name but aren't v clear in the pic! Used a SU set for the paisley stamp and the 'I just love you' at the bottom.
