I enjoyed making the herringbone card that I recently posted.

...So I decided to try again and make a valentine card this time around.

My card was made using Kaisercraft Designer paper for the background and some heart dies by Darice, and a lace die bymftstamps.

Card for my Mother's friend!

This card is for a lady that had been my Mother's friend for over 60 years.  I think she misses my Mother almost as much as I do.  She did so much for my Mother, and I always try to make a special card for her each year.  She loves The Victorian look, so that's what I always try to achieve with my cards.

I again made a Twist and Pop card (this makes Number 7)
I used Paper Wishes Designer paper for my background.  I stamped my lady images using stamps from Grapic 45 and Rubbernecker stamps.  I die cut my lace using a die from Our Daily bread and my oval lace die is from MFTstamps (die-namics)  My sentiment was stamped with a stamp from Stampendous!  I paper pieced my stamped images.

Dynamic duos Challenge DD#18

I made this card for the Dynamic duos challenge DD#18. The challenge is to use the colors of Poppy Parade and Lucky Limeade. I saw that this week's challenge colors looked like Christmas colors, but I wanted to go in a different direction...but Plan A did not work out, so I ended up with Plan B, which turned out to be a Christmas Card...but that's Okay, I have been trying to get my Christmas cards done early this year...so this works for me....smile...

I made the flowers on my card using a new die that I just purchased...
Die-namics Prima Donna Petals from mftstamps.com. I really like the flowers that this die makes. The flowers are easy to make, and though they are shaped and pop up...they don't have a high dimension which makes them easier for mailing. I punched out the die along with my Spellbinder die Fleur De Lis Squares, and my vine die, with my big shot. My Card stock is from Stampin' Up, in the colors of Poppy Parade, and Lucky Limeade,
