Hi friends! I hope you're having a great week so far! I'm popping in today with TWO cards to share! I feel the need to keep making Valentines, but then there's other stuff to post too! This week I found the time to make a card for PTI's Make it Monday and I wanted to get that posted tonight to share with you. Later in the week is some shabby chic goodness from Taylored Expressions!
My first card for tonight is a happy Valentine. I got this idea from some fun stickers I saw at Michael's. They were little birdies holding love notes. I decided to re-create the idea using my big birdie Sizzix die and then I hand made a love letter for him to carry!
The sentiment is from Paper Source. I love that font and have it in many sayings!
Here are my pieces. I cut a small piece of white paper and then scored it with my bone folder to look like an envelope. Then I put a nice red heart on it. I inked around the edges of the blue parts with some light blue chalk ink.
I had to add some glitter! His eye is a black gem from my stash. the red hearts above are part of a Martha Stewart edger punch.
My second card for today is a cheery birthday card with a cupcake! This week's Make it Monday Challenge #52 at PTI was to stamp both sides of a die cut and use both sides in your project. There are some really clever people out there – the other entries are awesome! CLICK here to take a peek… And, you still have the rest of the week to get your card in!
I cut out the die cut shape for the top and bottom of the cupcake and then stamped both sides in pink and brown and attached them. In order for you to see both sides of it, I used a jump ring to attach it to my circle cut out! It kind of swings around in there!
The impression plate, the polka dot paper and the stamps/sentiment are all from various PTI supplies. I adore this cane impression plate. I used white core paper and then sanded it to make the design stand out more.
Thanks for coming by today! Big hugs from me and Buddy!

Both cards are gorgeous….great idea with the bird and cupcake.
Such cute, cute cards, Wanda! Love your sweet birdy Valentine. (Looks like Buddy does, too!) His little envelope is adorable. Love the mix of kraft and white, and LOVE the bits of punched hearts at the top. And what a clever die cut cupcake card. Love the window with the spinning element. SO cute and clever!
