Valentine's Cards

Had a great time making Valentine's on Saturday. Thought you might like to take a peak at what we made. Of course, the downfall to posting to this blog is that you might be previewing the card I later send your way!

The first is a card layout I cased from newest Splitcoasterstampers Dirty Dozen Design Team member, Becca Feeken. I feel in love with the Martha Stewart border punch she used - Valentine Lace. I went to great lengths to get it - thank you Auntie! As you know, I have few places to find papercrafting supplies in my neck of the woods. I tried Martha's on-line store but she has very few punches available there. Amazon had the punch for $40 and that seemed a little steep for me. Michael's is quite a trek to get to but I called every one in a 60 mile radius and none had it. So, I had a thought and tried all the stores back in Rochester, NY and low and behold I found two. After a quick call to my Aunt and a two day mailer pack I had the beautiful punch in hand. Love it!!!

Are you enjoying the search and shopping adventure stories yet? Don't worry - I'm sure I've got a few more up my sleeve.

Card Details:

Size: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 tall
Sentiment Stamp: SU Love Matters
