Get The TechniqueWARNING! If you are my sweetheart, please stop reading now.
A couple of years ago I started a tradition of mailing a Valentine to my honey starting February 1st, till the actual day of Valentine. Yup, 14...sent by real mail. In the past it's been a collection of great cards I have found by talented folks, and some made by me. But this year I gave myself the challenge to make all 14.
I'm only sharing half of the collection since I've already started the mailing process, and haven't actually completed all 14 yet.
1 Grouping of some. I used blues, pinks and reds as my color palette.
2 Clearly influenced by the magazine
3 "You are one in a million"
4 Kristin's Birthday Banner Card was the inspiration for this one
5 "Owl be yours"
6 Maybe a little too much glitter?
7
8 A pretty rub on.
9 Printed text and punches get this sentiment out.
I only have few more to make, but I did score a beautiful card by Rosa Clifford, who is going to be on the show February 6th demoing this sweet love bird card. I know it's cheating on my challenge a little, but 13 out of 14 cards made by me is still pretty good.

I love the idea of making your own cards for Valentines Day! I think I will try it!

I L-O-V-E, the cards!!! Please, let me/everybody know, where the, "rub-on," that went inside the card, came from! Such beautiful script, with the crystals added, is a perfect touch
