My sweet husband surprised me with two cards this weekend. One for our Anniversary and another for Valentine's Day. My husband doesn't buy cards for the intended celebration. He buys cards that appeal to him and the receiver. One card was really a Dr. Suess birthday card. He just draws through the sentiment and writes his own. The surpise was that the Valentine's Day card was an actual Valentine's day card...and a cute one at that! Good job, Dear Husband!
I'm down to the wire, now, on finishing cards for Valentine's Day.When your hobby is card making, its expected that you'll send wonderful hand-made cards for the holidays. This card is a real time-saver, yet it sparkles and looks like cards taking much longer to make.
I used the Designer Cuts Cards & Envelopes from the Occasions Mini (125414). I cut it apart, cut it down to 4 X 5-1/4, added a piece of Real Red Glitter Paper behind the laser heart cutout, and mounted the card on a Basic Black base card. Before mounting I ran the card front through the Big Shot using the hearts from the Adorning Accents Textured Imrpessions Embossing Folder set and tied a Real Red Satin Ribbon across the bottom. Then I used the left over piece from the Designer Cuts, also cut to 4 X 5-1/4 and used it inside my card. Perfect for making very fast cards. The laser cut set of cards and envelopes make ideal wedding, bridal show or Valentine cards and come with two different laser cuts.

New Downloads for My Digital Studio are released every Tuesday. The January 17 Download included a template and images for one of the cute boxes offered by Stampin' Up! from one of the past catalogs. . . the valentine Love Bot treat boxes set (129343). I downloaded it as soon as I saw it, but didn't get a chance to play with it until just now.
I love that the box includes the template image so you can create all of your embellishments in what ever color or Designer Series Paper you want to use from My Digital Studio, or you can use the many elements that come with the kit.
Here's a couple of these cute boxes. The one on the left I created from the template alone, adding a background paper in a color that would match my cards and My Digital Studio design software (MDS) stamps and punch elements to create my To: - From: box. Once assembled, I added a pleated ribbon, embossed hearts and Silver Glitter paper.
Here's a great idea if you're pressed for time and still need to help your children make treat boxes for their class mates for Valentine's Day or other occasions. Take advantage of the free 30-day of the My Digital Studio Express Software. (See details below on how to download and begin using today!).
