A Valentine!

I suddenly realised that it was Valentines's Day next Monday so yesterday I made  a quick card after I had cleared away all the mess from my pastel painting. I will show you those later in the week.

As you can see it was a very quick card. I die cut a red heart with an old SU die set and the added the Penny Black train. I've had this die for ages waiting for an occasion to use it.

I'm finding card making a bit difficult since I had my cataracts done. I'm constantly having to take my reading glasses on and off, not a problem I had before, in fact I'm thinking of asking the optician for varifocals when I next have my eyes tested, just for card making!

Valentines in The Male Room

I am thrilled to announce that I'm on the design team for The Male Room Challenge. Here is my first card for them. the theme is "Valentine"

As the card is for a man I kept it fairly simple, nothing flowery! This wasn't what I wanted to make but the stamp set I'd ordered didn't  arrive in time - well it did - just - but I didn't want to leave it to the last minute in case my original idea didn't work out!  All the red glimmer paper was snippets left over from Christmas, so I'm taking this over to Pixies Playground as Di likes us using snippets! I've just sorted my snippets box out as I couldn't get the lid on - and shock, horror sent some to the recycling bin!

Supplies used (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):

Red glimmer card

Basic Black cardstock

Silver Encore ink pad

Silver embossing powder

Heart Framelits

Owl Builder punch (for the tiny heart)
