Love You Forever


Hi there!

It’s me again…and I have yet another Valentines card. Just a forwarning: I will have LOTS of them while Valentine’s Day approaches. Hope you stick through them with me! Remember, Valentines Day isn’t just for a boyfriend/ husband/ significant other…..you can show love to co-workers, neighbors, teachers, etc…

Today is going to be filled with lots of activity. I went to the gym {unwanted pounds, be prepared to vanish!}, got myself ready for the day, and now I’m getting ready to go shopping, eat some sushi with my lil sis and go to a bachelorette party. I have yet to find a gift for the bachelorette party- any suggestions? ;) I have a couple ideas, but we’ll have to see how much they total up. This party is going to {hopefully} be on the mellow side- no repeats of what was seen on The Proposal! When I get engaged, I’m definitely making it clear to my bridesmaids that I do NOT want a crazy bachelorette party….

Now onto the card for today: I decided to try something new and stamped my own “printed” background. OH. MY. GOODNESS. It took F-O-R-E-V-E-R to accomplish this! I had six different stamps for the background and I tried to space them out across the kraft cardstock. I love the way it turned out- just wished it didn’t take so long to do! Everything else about the card is fairly simple….after finishing the background, I didn’t feel like doing any more “hard work”! ;)

Have any of you started Valentines cards? If so, send me some links! I don’t always get a chance to browse through all the different blogs {that’s a full-time job in itself!}. I truly do love looking at others work- it really inspires me and I also love reading about your lives!

I need to scoot. About to go get my shop on. Hopefully I don’t do too much damage to the wallet!

Stamps: Heart Prints, Dots Background
Paper: Brown Kraft, Cream, Dark Chocolate, Pure Poppy
Ink: Vintage Sepia, Satin Red
Other: cream grosgrain ribbon, SU! scallop border punch, red & white button, distresser, heart punch

  1. Sweet Valentine’s card! Love the background you created – I guess if you needed to save time you could arrange a few stamps on a large acrylic block at once??
    Have fun at the bachelorette party!
