Something Sweet Valentine Card 1

I wanted to pull out this Something Sweet stamp set and do a Valentine's card with it.  I used this same layout on a card last year and I really liked how it looked.  I used Crystal Effects over the globe part to give it the 'glass' effect.  This set is so fun to use!  Check back next week for a card with the same design but using the sweet treat cups!  Thanks for looking!!

Letterpress Valentine's Day Card

I bought this letterpress plate last year when it came out the Occasions Mini catalog.  I was really excited to use it.  At the time, I didn't have a Big Shot machine and the letterpress plates did not work really well in the cuttlebug machine at all.  Needless to say I didn't do much with it last year at all.  

Now that I have my Big Shot machine, it works so much better!!!!  If you need a big shot machine just let me know and I know just the place you can get one!!! 

I started by inking up the Lots of Love letterpress plate with Chocolate Chip Craft ink.  I ran it through the Big Shot machine on watercolor paper.  I then sponged the whole paper with Crumb Cake ink.

I did the marker to stamp technique to ink up the strawberry stamp from the P.S. I Love You stamp set.  I cut it out and then laid it on top of the Very Vanilla layer.  I also stamped the heart from the same stamp set and punched it out with the large heart punch.  I stamped the sentiment from the same set on the heart and then also on a scrap of vanilla paper and used the 3/4" circle punch.  I used the pinking hearts border punch on Real Red card stock.  I layerd it all together onto a Real Red card base.  

If you have any questions, please let me know!!
