Happy Valentine's Day - Card #2

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!  Hope you have something special planned.  This year, our day will be a little less than last year's.  Hard to believe that almost 1 year ago, after 1 failed IVF round, we were just weeks away from finding out that our dreams of having a family were going to come true!  And, a little over a month after that, we would find out that we were going to be doubly blessed with two beautiful babies!

Yep, our romantic dinner may include a trip to Red Robin, where screaming children aren't frowned upon.  Or maybe, a fabulous Pioneer Woman bacon wrapped filet.  I vote for the second...cooking, even with clean-up, always trumps a anxious trip to the outside.

As promised, here is the 2nd Valentine's Day greeting that I made.  

Still using that new Movers & Shakers Zipper die from PaperTrey Ink.  You can purchase it here.

The heart was cut out and stamped using Hero Arts stamping and die combo.  Then, I embossed the chevron with clear embossing powder.  Red and white bakers twine from The Twinery came in handy to dress up the plain cardstock.  The patterned cardstock is by Authentique.

On the inside, I made a pop-up sentiment and adhered another heart to the corner.

Have a love-filled day!

Card #8 - Cup of Tea

I can't seem to get away from using stamps by Paper Trey Ink.  They are wonderful, not only because they are economical, but also because they are CLEAR - which means you can see through them and they are easy to use. 

The paper used is by Cosmo Cricket and the twine is from The Twinery.  They have a great Facebook page where they post new colors and specials all the time.

Friends Are The Sunshine (and sometimes offer you a discount, too!)
