A Few Quickies!

Hiya folks!  I had a few spare moments today and was feeling better so I whipped up a few more Valentines.  I only did singles of these guys, but figured I could recreate them pretty fast for duplicates if I needed to.  Here's days 6, 7, and 8.  We'll see if I have time tomorrow to crank out a bunch so that I can finish my challenge.  If not, look for more ideas this weekend...sorry, you'll have to use them NEXT Valentine's Day!

***EDITED***

Day 6 -

I love the cartoon quality of this one!  So adorable and yummy looking too!

Supplies and Instructions:
Cut card base from Sky cardstock (3 1/2 x 7 inches; score at 3 1/2 inches). Cut layer from Cherry cardstock (3 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches).  Cut layer from Grapefruit Chevron cardstock (3 x 3 inches).  Cut circle using punch or Spellbinders Nestabilities using 3 inch circle.  Cut in half and adhere to card as shown. Cut Sugar cardstock for sentiment (1/2 x 3 inches).  Stamp sentiment from "Sweet Love" set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Use scrap of Sugar cardstock and stamp sundae image from "Sweet Love" set in Memento Black.  I used various grays, brown, pink, red, and green copics to color in the image.  I also outlined the entire image in the Cool Shadow copic.  Apply Le Pouf to whipped cream and heat with embossing gun until puffy.  (Note: Don't get your gun too close to the paper or you'll burn it!).  Fussy cut around image once dry and adhere to card using pop-up dots.

Day 7 -

 

 

Another fun, pun-y card!  And you get to color with copics again.  Nothing fancy...more like old-school coloring book work.  This would one be perfect as the tag on a bag of gumballs for school giveaways!

 



Supplies and Instructions:
Cut card base from Cherry cardstock (3 x 6 inches; score at 3 inches).  Cut layer from Bubblegum cardstock (2 3/4 x 2 3/4 inches).  Cut layer from Cherry Chevron cardstock (2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches).  Punch or diecut circle from Sugar cardstock; diameter should be around 1 3/4 inches.  Near the bottom of the circle, stamp sentiment from "Sweet Love" set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Using a scrap of Sugar cardstock, stamp bubblegum machine image from same set in Memento ink.  Color in image using various pink and red copic markers.  I also outlined the image and shaded in the empty space in the machine with the Cool Shadow copic marker. Are you familiar with using the Colorless Blender to repel ink?  I did that to ensure some of the gumballs stayed white.  Once dry, fussy cut the machine and use pop-up dots to adhere to card front.

Day 8 -

 



This one was Pinterest inspired...

 

Yeah, they're all pretty cute, huh?  But when I saw that one with candles, I thought that I could use my handy-dandy party straws and the card might actually be somewhat flat.  Plus, paper straws are a heck of a lot easier (no messy glue gun required) to attach to a card front!

 

 

Supplies and Instructions:

Cut card base from Sugar Cardstock (4 7/8 x 7 inches; score at 3 1/2 inches).  Cut card layer from Cherry cardstock (3 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches.  Cut Cherry dot layer (3 x 4 3/8 inches).  Cut Sugar cardstock (3 x 3 1/4 inches); you'll use this piece to stamp on.  Take one Onyx party straw and cut in quarters.  Flatten using your hand or a bone folder - you still want a little dimension, so don't crush it to death!  Adhere flattened straws to middle of Sugar cardstock.  Using Cherry ink, stamp heart from "At First Sight" set as a "flame" to each "candle"  Finally, stamp sentiment from "Sending My Love" set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Cut approximately 1 yard of Cherry baker's twine and wrap around Sugar piece, tying in a bow around the front.  Trim excess.  Attach Sugar piece to card front.

So...as promised, those are better pictures and the instructions.  I hope to whip out a few more cards today before my Valentine festivities begin!
