I've been busy getting ready for Valentines Day with these delicious sugar cookies that are frosted in Royal Icing.  They are so good!

 

I've also made some peanut butter cups and dark chocolate.  These are great for those who want a little of both.  There's a dozen cups that are pacakaged in a cute little red box. Who wouldn't love a sweet treat!

 

 

Bee My Valentine

 

This was so easy to do.  I covered white cardstock with plain red paper and then cut 4 separate sheets of paper to fit the four corners of the card.  I then cut some pale yellow cardstock and layered that on red and black paper.  I stamped my images using Stampin Up's "Cute as a Bug" and a Heart stamp.  Both are colored with Copic Markers.  The sentiment was handwritten. 

 

I wasn't sure how the yellow would look but I really like the contrast!

 

Vintage Valentine

 

This card is very simple with a vintage feel.  I used THE PAPER STUDIO "Be My Valentine" on the front of the card and trimed one edge with off white ribbon.  The tag is a piece of manila folder stamped with AMERICAN CRAFT "Valentine" clear stamp.  I used two green brads and dusted the  front of the tag with PERFECT PEARLS copper color.

 

 

 

3 Hearts

I used white cardstock for this one and then layered it with red and white cardstock.  I punched out 3 hearts using two different papers (Reflections "Red Roses" and The Paper "Studio Doodle Love") and attached then to the front of the card. The red cardstock was punched with Martha Stewart's Floral Lace border punch and the sentiment "I Love You" was stamped with Craft Smart wooden rubber stamp. 

 

 

Sweet Cupcake

I made this card in a pinch last night using white cardstock as the base for this card.  I cut a piece of red and white diamond shaped paper from Hot Off The Press and attached that to the front of the card with piece of black cardstock on the bottom.  Then I attached a strip of plain pink cardstock and topped it with red cardstock that was punched with Martha Stewart's "Floral Lace" border punch.

 

 

I attached a cupcake  from K&Company Valentine accents and stamped the i♥u with American Crafts Valentine clear stamp and the "Happy Valentines Day" with the Craft Smart rubber stamp.  I painted the heart with copic markers #'s RV02, RV06 and RV09.

 

 

Hope you like it!

 

 

 

 

 

All You Need Is Love!

 

What better way to say I love you than with a simple but beautiful card!  The card says it all.....All you need is Love!

 

I used white cardstock for the card.  I cut a piece of plain black cardstock and attached that with red ribbon to the middle of the front of the card.  I had strips of red cardstock that had hearts punched out of them and all that was left were the frames.  I used one of the frames and attached a piece of white cardstock to it then stamped the sentiment in the middle of the white.  I had some glittered heart embellishments as well as some round red embellishments and glued them to the front of the card.

 

Again very simple and clean!
