Fishbowl Friends Forever

Friends Forever











I just love this little 3x3 card; the little fishbowl is so cute! I received this card in a convention swap and I have no idea who the creator is but her little details really made this card! (If it is yours; let me know and I will update this blog post to give you credit!) I love the chunky gold glitter in the treasure chest it adds texture and pulls your eye right to the chest which might otherwise be overlooked! The three little flowers with rhinestones anchor the greeting and pull the color combo tightly together. Those two things alone make it a stand out card! The textured background and ribbon accent are an added bonus! My little pelican is keenly interested in these fishy friends!

Hearts on Fire

DIY Fire Truck Valentine










I think this little fire truck would make a perfect Valentine! There are so many fun little captions that could be used!

  • You set my heart on fire, Valentine! 
  • Sound the alarm, you are my Valentine!
  • This is no false alarm, you are my Valentine!
  • You are hot stuff Valentine!
  • Rescue me! Be my Valentine!
  • My heart is fire engine red for you, Valentine!
If you have another fun little caption, please share it in the comments! I would love to hear your ideas! I received this fun card in my conventions swaps. If you are the creator and would like credit, let me know and I will update this blog post to acknowledge your creative talents!

Paper Sweethearts

Paper Sweethearts











I just love the little Sweetheart candies! There is something fun about seeing what word you are going to get! While most of these little paper sweethearts are wordless; they still convey a fun message of love to the recipient. This is a 3x3 card so it goes together very quickly for having so many elements! The focal point with the hearts is scored into a small tic tac toe grid for easy placement of the hearts. I received this fun little card in my convention swaps. There is no identifying information on the card so if it is your card and you would like credits on my blog, just let me know and I will update my blog post!

A Heartful For You

Negative Space










One of my favorite uses of our framelits and dies is the ability to create using negative space in fun shapes! The heart framelits are a perfect negative space for Valentine's Day projects. In this instance the negative space is covered with Washi Tape to make it pop! This technique makes for a quick and easy, but smashing card! I received this adorable little 3x3 card in my convention swaps. There is no identifying information on the swap, so if this is your creation and you would like to receive credit, just let me know and I will update this blog post!

Hearts A Flutter

Hearts A Flutter










I remember Valentine's Day as a kid. I always looked forward to it. I think because we got to spend more time being creative at school and it spilled over at home, too! We spent hours decorating shoe boxes or paper bags, making hearts and Valentine's cards. This was great fun for a child with creative interests! Even the little boxes of store bought Valentine's were fun; they were filled with cute little puns. I loved going through the Valentine's that I brought home and studying them. Some were silly, some were romantic, but all of them were beautiful in their own way. I remember laboring over who would get which Valentine; wanting everyone to feel like I was their friend without making them feel uncomfortable. I don't know if I was successful or not but I do know that I left no one out. Everyone got a card from me! Hearts a Flutter is not a new set, but it is certainly a great set for Valentine's Day cards. Little 3x3 cards are quick and easy with this set and you can pass around some warm, light-hearted fun this Valentine's Day! This pretty little card is a convention swap from Beth Schreiber.
