Heartfelt Happy Valentine’s Day!

Well Valentine’s Day is this weekend do you have any special plans? It is suppose to be wicked cold here is St. Louis this weekend and I plan to stay inside and close to the fire. My craft rooms is not too far away from the fireplace so perhaps I will enjoy both.

I have never been too big into celebration Valentine’s Day. When my kids were little we would prepare a special meal, pull out the candle and of’ course they each got a small gift at the table. It was nothing exciting, usually a pair of socks or some Valentine’s candy, but still it was fun to be together.

Now that my kids are older and out of the house, we really don’t celebrate, but perhaps this year, I will make a candlelight dinner for my hubby. Hey throw in a bottle of Champagne, a fire in the fireplace and a Hallmark movie, now that would be a great evening!

Regardless of how you celebration, I wish you much love and happiness until Valentine’s Day rolls around again next year!

The above card was made using the Heartfelt Bundle and was one of the projects we did at stamp camp last month. I hope you have a blessed and warm Valentine’s Day!

Since today is Friday and Valentine’s Day is not until Sunday, perhaps I will bring another fun Valentine’s Day card your way tomorrow.

Kangaroo and Company

Anniversary & Love-Weddings / January 25, 2021 / Hearts, Kangaroo and Company

Did you know that Kangaroos are actually timid and shy by nature? Maybe that is why the New Kangaroo and Company Bundle in the JJ 2021 Spring mini catalog is so cute.

The Mama kangaroo looks so peaceful, but don’t be fooled, this mama kanga may have tiny feet, but she has powerful legs and can travel more than 56km/h and leap more than 9 meters in a single bound, now that is impressive.

Begin with a Real Red card base 5 ½ x 8 ½”. Score in landscape position at 4 ¼”.
On a 3 x 4 ¾” piece of Basic White cardstock, randomly stamp the envelope from the Kangaroo & Company Bundle in Memento Black ink. Stamp a few tiny red hearts and color all the hearts with a Real Red Blend or a Stampin’ Write marker.
Using the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine cut out a few hearts from Real Red cardstock and attach to the white card panel.
Cut a 3 1/8 x 3 7/8” piece of Basic Black cardstock. Layer the white panel on the black and attach to the Real Red card front.
Stamp the mama and the baby kangaroo in Memento Black ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and cut out using the matching Kangaroo dies. NOTE: The slit in mama kangaroo’s pouch is automatically cut with this die.
Stamp the bouquet of hearts in Memento Black ink on Real Red cardstock and cut out with coordinating die and insert these hearts into mama kangaroo’s pouch.
Add the baby kangaroo to the White cardstock panel.

For the inside cut a 4 x 5 ¼” layer of White cardstock and using stamp an envelope at the bottom and some tiny hearts. Color the hearts red with a Stampin’ Blend or Stampin’ Write marker.
