Valentines for the grands...

I have mailed or hand-delivered Valentines to all our grandkids, so I thought I would share them with you here. For these card designs, I followed Cheryl Dorsey's video tutorial, which you will find here.

These are the cards I made for our five granddaughters.

For this card, I actually used some corrugated cardstock for the heart. I've had it in my stash for a few years and really couldn't decide how to use it. I finally decided to try die-cutting it, thinking if the machine flattened it too much, I could just toss it and use something else.

As you can see, it really didn't flatten it at all! I added a stamped sentiment to finish the front.

I didn't have any "layering" heart dies when I made these cards, so when I did layer the hearts, I ended up having to fussy-cut the smaller ones. I have since ordered and received some layering heart dies!

This is how each card is finished on the inside. As you can see, it has a pop-out feature and the heart is pulled to the inside so that it is a visible part of the layout.

"Happy Valentine's Day" was stamped and a punched heart was glued above it.

These are the cards I made for our five grandsons.

They were made using the same tutorial, but switching out the heart for a couple of circle dies.

The sentiment was printed with my computer, and I added a few hearts that were left over from using other Valentine dies.

Here's a close-up of the layered circles. Thank goodness I didn't have to try to fussy-cut those smaller ones!

The inside was completed in the same way as the others.

These were actually quite quick to make, once I knew the dimensions and the process. The next time I make this card design, I may add some DSP to the panel behind the circles and hearts. It would dress up the inside just a bit more.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
