This month we are using the "For Always" paper pack from Close to My Heart.  This is one of my favorite packets of all time. 

 

This card I just love.  The  pattern I used is from "Make it from the Heart, Volume1", pg 44.  The base of the card is the Ruby cardstock (5 1/2 x 4 1/4).  I cut 6 (1 1/2x 1 1/2) squares then cut them in half.  I used a strip of the "Shimmer Trim, Black", and placed it down the middle of the card.  The word "Smitten" is from the stamp of the month "Happy Valentine's".  I stamped it in black ink and used ruby ink around the edges.  The red and yellow flower are from the "For Always Assortment".  And the pearl pin is from the "Bling Assortment". 

 

For this card I also used the Ruby cardstock (one of my favorite new colors).  It's was also cut to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. The cake stamp is from "The Happy Couple" set.  I stamped in in slate and then used the wonderful Artiste Close to my Heart Cartridge to cut out the scallops. The bell on the top of the cake is also from the "The Happy Couple" set, which I colored in with Slate ink and Ruby ink for the bow.  The grey flower in the lower left corner is from the "Bliss Assortment".  It's a simple card but you know exactly what it's for.

This month we are having fun with Valentine's Day.  Who doesn't love Valentine's day. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Here are some great cards I made using the "Whoo's Your Valentine" Work Shop from Close to my Heart.  I used a Die Cut Card in Colonial White as my base.  For the die cut shapes I used my most favorite crafting item "Cricut Artiste Cartridge".  The ink colors are Cashmere and Ruby. And I used Honey marker for the little owls beaks.  The cardstock color is Ruby.  For the little trim by the lip, I cut two 5 1/2 x 1 and scored them at 1/2, 1, 2, 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 4, and 5 inch mark.  Designer brads "Rhinestone" was use to accent the lip.

 

This card was cut from the Cricut Artiste Cartridge (pg 36, 5 1/2 inches) using White Daisy Cardstock.  The pink flower in the middle was also cut from the Artiste Cartridge (pg 50, Two cut at 1 1/4 inches).  The new Silver Glitter paper was used.  Blush and Hollyhock ink pads were used for the stamping elements.  And Shimmer Trim & Hollyhock Stitched ribbon used right across the middle.
