Happy Valentine's Day

Pin It Now! Hope everyone is having a LOVEly day today :)  Last week a friend asked me to make a few Valentine's Day & birthday cards for her to send to family & friends so I got busy right away for her. The day I went to give them to her she showed all her co-workers & told them they could custom order their Valentine's Day cards with me. Bless her heart, I know she was being very helpful; however, I was feeling the crunch! It was Wednesday when she told everyone in her office this news :) I came home that day & worked on a few more then dropped them off the very next day after having lunch with my husband. One of HIS co-workers asked if I could make him a card so of course I made a few more for him to pick from & my hubby took them with him to lunch with the co-worker on Friday. When my husband got home that afternoon he was grinning from ear to ear: he sold all my card at lunch that day! After all was said & done I sold a total of 8 cards in just a few short days :) Not bad considering it was all last minute ;) It was a good week hehehe  Anyway, today I'm sharing one of the cards that I did last week; here it is:

It may be a little hard to tell but I used the Lots of Love letterpress plate on the Cherry Cobbler layer; I just ran it through the Big Shot with out any ink. I colored in the "Love" using the black Stampin' Write marker & sponged the edges with Cherry Cobbler ink before adhering it to the Basic Gray card base. I created the envelope using the Scallop Envelope die & a piece of paper from the Neutrals Collection designer series paper stack. It needed a little something so I mounted it on a piece of black card stock then popped up with dimensionals on the Cherry Cobbler layer. I stamped the S.W.A.K. image in Cherry Cobbler Craft ink on a scrap piece of white card stock & embossed with some Cherry scented emboss powder. I cut it out & popped it up using some dimensionals. So simple & it went together quickly. One of the ladies asked for a modified version without the word "love" all over. I ran the red layer through the Big Shot with a different embossing folder & used the "Be My Valentine" stamp from the set "P.S. I Love You" set in the bottom right corner; kept the envelope & lips of course ;)  She loved her modified card a lot!

Hope y'all enjoy your Valentine's Day & are able to share it with those you love. Have a great day everyone! Thanks for stopping by!
