Not just for Valentine's Day

I finally downloaded the pictures for the rest of my Valentine's Day cards to my computer. I know they're a little after the fact, but these aren't traditional valentines -- they're designs that would be great whenever you want to say I love you, I'm thinking of you, or even just hello.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Three Amigos (Mama Elephant)
Paper: Pocket Notes cards and envelopes, Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP), Very Vanilla card stock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo black, Skin Tones and Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities markers
Accessories: Three Amigos Creative Cuts dies (Mama Elephant), cranberry grosgrain ribbon, Dimensionals

Stampin' Up! sold these little Pocket Notes years ago, and I love to use them for valentines. Here I used a piece of DSP for the background with a die-cut and colored focal image. I added a piece of grosgrain ribbon along the right side for a little embellishment.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Sunday Stroll (Mama Elephant)
Paper: Notes cards and envelopes, Very Vanilla card stock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo black; Skin Tones, Soft Sky and Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities markers
Accessories: Sunday Stroll Creative Cuts dies (Mama Elephant), Beach House washi tape, Dimensionals

This is another Pocket Notes design. I needed a few valentines for little boys, and I thought this would be the perfect image. No frilly-ness or hearts except in the little trail of the paper airplane. And I replaced the ribbon with washi tape.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Hello Sunshine (Lawn Fawn)
Paper: Love Notes cards and envelopes, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Blushing Bride, Watermelon Wonder
Accessories: Hello Sunshine Lawn Cuts dies (Lawn Fawn), Dimensionals

This is a very simple 3" x 3" card, but it's still pretty cute. The card base is Soft Sky, which was a perfect background for stamped clouds and two heart-shaped balloons.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Hello Sunshine (Lawn Fawn)
Paper: Whisper White note cards and envelopes, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Pool Party, Blushing Bride, Watermelon Wonder, Crushed Curry
Accessories: Hello Sunshine Lawn Cuts dies (Lawn Fawn), Bermuda Bay sequin trim, Dimensionals, Glue Dots

This is a slightly larger version of the previous card (3-1/2" x 5" note card). Since this card base is white, I stamped the clouds in Pool Party and added a bright sun. Three balloons and a few sequins finish the design.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Gleeful Gardens (Lawn Fawn)
Paper: Whisper White note cards and envelopes, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Skin Tones and Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities markers, Stardust Clear Gelly Roll pen (Sakura)
Accessories: Gleeful Gardens Lawn Cuts dies (Lawn Fawn), Dimensionals

I think these little mushrooms are pretty cute. I colored them with two different shades of Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities markers and added a smiley face to one of the larger maushrooms. Since this card didn't have any other embellishment, I colored the white spots on the mushrooms with a glitter pen for just a little sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by!
