Daddy's Girl Valentine's Day Card

This is a great little card that I made for my Dad this past Valentine's Day. No matter how old you are, or how old you dad is, it's never too late to let him know that you still think of him on Valentine's Day.
Here is what you'll need to make a card like this:
- Pre-made white card (or white card stock if you prefer to make your own)
- Valentine's related stamp (I used the word "Love")
- Ink that can be embossed
-Embossing heat tool (FYI- a hair dryer will NOT work and it's safer to use a heat tool)
-Embossing powder (I used one with colored glitter, but you could use black or whatever color will show up on red)
-hole punch
-Red card stock
-Green card stock - I used one that was pre-cut with a scalloped edge
-Red rhinestones
-Red fabric ribbon
-Velum Valentine/love text (I used one about my Dad, but you could handwrite a message or use another for of text like a rub-on)

Assembly is pretty simple, but if you have questions in general or about the embossing, just ask!
Happy creating!

Mother's Day Card

Here is the card that I made for my mom for Mother's Day. Here is the list of items you will need to create a card like this:
- Card Stock in desired color (I used a pre-made card bought at a craft store - Michael's, Hobby Lobby etc. - I used orange)
- A piece of patterned velum paper (this is the pink polka-dot paper)
- A piece of patterned card stock or scrapbooking paper (this is the black/silver glitter paper)
- 2 smaller pieces of card stock - 2 different colors (pink and black cardstock)
- 4 Coordinating rhinestones (for the corners - I used pink)
- Dimensional sticker/embellishment
- Inspirational saying in rub-on format
-Coordinating ribbon (I used pink)
- Scrapbooking scissors in desired pattern (I used a scalloped pattern)
- Hole punch

It is much easier to make a card like this if you start picking out your paper first. I have found that many craft and scrapbooking stores tend to put coordinating papers together. Pick out a few you like, then you can go after your regular colored card stock and embellishments.

Velum is a little tricky when you are using adhesive. Just make sure you are using one that disappears after it dries and doesn't leave a spot under the velum so you can see where it's adhered. For this one, I think I actually put the glue in the middle, so that it didn't matter if you could see it after drying.

Happy creating. Please let me know if you have questions!
