Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today I thought I would share some of the other Valentine’s Day cards that I’ve made or gotten from swaps.  Hope you enjoy.  Here are just 2.  You can click here to see more.

hugs-kisses-heart-cardI really like this card.  I love how she used the hearts for balloons.  This card was created by Naomi Keeling.  You can check out more of her stuff at: www.stampwithnaomi.blogspot.com

love-bird-sparklyThis beautiful card was created by Kimberly Anderson.  I think it was for my big shot swap.  Check out all the beautiful detail.  What I love about this card is it’s all the big shot so it looks complicated but the cutting part was easy.

love-sparkly-bird-close

Here’s a close up of the bird and flowers.  I love the glitter.

Today I thought I would share with you some of the Valentines day project Swaps I received at leadership.  These are just a few of my favorites.  You can check out more by clicking here.

valentines-bucketValentines Bucket:
I loved this bucket.  It was filled with a hot chocolate packet, a Hershey’s kiss on a spoon, a 2x4x6x8 box with marshmallows and a cute little envelop with a poem for hot chocolate. 

love-hanger

Love Banner:
This cute banner is made with coasters.  They used the big shot letters and the Love you Much Stamp set (113756, $25.95)

I loved this little test tube candy hold.  I really loved how they made a box to put it in.  Once again this is the Love yo Much Stamp set and lots of our fun punches.

This was a 6×6 page swap that I did for convention last year.  I really loved how it turned out.  I think the same basic layout could be used on a 12 x 12 page.  I will have to give it a try.  The Flower in the corner is just the large flower cut out and then folded back and under.  I saw it somewhere and thought it looked really cool.

Swapping Saturday 1-17-09

Time for swaps again and I’m still wishing I knew who it was.  I forgot to say one other thing as to why a lot of these cards don’t have names.  When we go to the local meetings we usually do full cards instead of card fronts like at convention.  This way we can actually use the card.  However because of this we often don’t put our name directly on the card.  Some will include a business card or the card might have a sticky note with the name, but they often get lost or removed.  That’s why I don’t know who to give the proper credit to.

s-split-treesI really love this card and the way that she stamped the trees and then cut them apart.  I just think it is a really neat look.  I also really liked how she put on the ribbon.  It’s unique and different than the traditional knot that most people do (including myself).  I think it’s a beautiful card.

Cute as a Bug is the title and I would have to agree.  this page is definitely cute.

cute-as-a-bugI recieved this swap at Convention last year.  I absoultly love it and love the colors.  I really wish she would have put her name on it so I could give her credit.  This page is extra fun because of what she did with each of the bugs on the side. 

cb-dragonflyThe Pacific Point Dragonfly has Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder on it’s wings.

cb-catapilerThe Tangerine Tango Caterpillar has blag Chunky Glitter for it’s stripes.

cb-grasshopperThe Kiwi Kiss Grasshopper has Crystal Effects on it’s big eye.

cb-wormThe Ridding Hood Red Worm has red microbead on it’s stripes.

 

 

 

These fun effects really add to the page.  I encourage you to think outside the box and try some of these fun effects.

Update- This page was created by Kelly Hymas.
