Valentine's Cards for Operation Valentine's

Hi all,

I finally posted my 2 video regarding the 50 Valentine's Cards I made for Mel B's Operation Valentines.
Please take a look at my YouTube video and subscribe once I reach 100 followers I will have a prize. I am also looking to increase my blog followers too.

In this video I take items that I already had in my stash to use to make 50 cards. You will see many different style of cards, some that I had in my card case for years and I gave them an upgrade. I used different techniques from tearing paper and adding embellishments you have on hand to using my gelatos to create a beautiful look to your Valentine's cards. I also used sprays from Tim Holtz, Color Bloom and Heidi Swap to create a look that is very stunning.

If you have any questions or would like to see a video/tutorial on how to make some of these cards please leave me a comment.

Valentine's Sweet Treat Box

Good Day All,

Today I am here to share a little Tutorial that I did on Crafty Sentiments Inspirational Blog. So hope you get inspired and create one or two.

The instructions for this Valentine's Day Treat Box I received many years ago (7-9 years) from a Stamp'in Up gathering I went too. It's a little box that is just so cute to place little chocolate's inside for your sweeties'. :D  And with Valentine's Day approaching why not make a couple for your kids, grandkids, family members, office co-workers, or friends.

The box is really simple and only takes a few supplies, unless your like me and love embellishments.

Here is what you need:

• Cardstock - 2 sheets of any color you want
• Stamp - Crafty Sentiments Stamps

Optional Accessories:

• Embossing folder - you choice
• Punches - your choice
• and any other little accessories/embellishments you want to add
