Here's my first Valentines card for this year, (not that i have lots of lovers to send them to, but no doubt i will also be making some for DT projects). :)

Not suprising to any of you, i made this on my cricut.

Tracy I LOVE these cards. I have just gone and purchased the heart template you used to make the first one after following the link on your blog.
However can you tell me where you got the Hugs and Kisses sentiment - if you used a Cricut cartridge which one is it?

You might also be able to help with another card I saw on the shop blog, it is in the shaped card gallery and has two love birds sitting on a perch - do you recognise the birds?

Thank you so much for any help you can give me.

Mine is a little non traditional - no hearts and no mention of the L word!

I'm not the world's most lovey dovey person, and the relationship I'm in is fairly relaxed and casual and I want to keep it that way :) So declarations of undying love wouldn't really be appropriate.

So here goes - front of card:

inside of card:

and the googled image I based the 3-part stencil (cut from a sheet of acetate) on :

it was fun to make, I can see myself doing a few more things in the Warhol style

Tracy - your cards are, as ever, stunning! If I had to choose a favourite it would be the one on the right of the three with the houndstooth checks, gorgeous!

[HOPEJACK]

Gorgeous cards - love them all but Flo your's is ingenious!!! :) Tracy as always I love your cards - always fantastic detail. Wende yours are gorgeous too but your first one is just brilliant - love the colours and the shabby chic feel to it.

Here's the one I made for my DH this year... ribbon, hearts & buttons...

This is a very simple design based on our customers requirements... it had to be small and flat enough to go inside a box beside the gift to be posted.

He simply stated "a small cream card with layered hearts and Happy Valentines Day wording"

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c207/Shadow1980/January%202010%20makes/ValentineCommission.jpg

So for this card I took an A6 cream card, punched out four small hearts along the bottom, lined with red handmade papers then layered alernate red and cream hearts using the Thick Cuts Tipsy Hearts die with my Big Shot. I then added the wording to complete.

Here's one from today, but it'll work for other occasions too I think. :)

[Flo]

This one was very much inspired by Tracy's card further down the thread, instead of a Cricutted couple, though, these are the man and lady from one of those Maya Road keyfob albums, the one with a little nuclear family on a ball chain, that I never would have used as a mini album (I have 3 sons not one of each :))

I've used some ancient Teresa Collins "Love Lines" papers that I am sadly finally running out of, having used them to death over the years.

You can't see the paper clips at the top all that well, but they have our initials on.

More gorgeous cards everyone.
Love the simplicity of yours Nat, and Flo your use of that MR album is inspired.
