One last Valentine card

OK...I know it's February 15th, but I just found a fun challenge over at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog. This challenge is simply to create a valentine card using any Penny Black stamp. I have never participated in a challenge before - but since my stash of Penny Black stamps is growing quite quickly, I thought it would be fun to join in. Just maybe...I'll even figure out how to use all of the links!!

This card uses two stamps from Penny Black "Via Post" and "Be My Valentine". I've used some Pink Paislee paper from their new Cupid Collection - one of my favorites!!! The image is colored with Copic markers.

...And of course you'll see that I've sewn the edges with my sewing machine. I really love the look of the sewn layers!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day.

Valentine Box of Chocolates

Good Evening!
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I want to share one last Penny Black Valentine bear. Isn't he a sweet little guy holding his box of chocolates? The name of the stamp is "Tender Hearts" and the sentiment is also from Penny Black stamps. The striped paper is "Love Bandit Stripe" from BoBunny...love the paper and the name!
He's colored with Copic markers and tied with some pretty two-toned pink satin ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening!

Conversation Hearts Box Cover

Good Afternoon!
I miss the days when the boys were younger and we would sit at the kitchen table and sign all of the valentines for school valentine parties. How time flies...
I bought the boxes of Conversation Hearts weeks ago, but I knew that I wanted to decorate with the "Sending Love" designer paper from Stampin' Up. I finally got my hands on the paper and made my covers for these boxes today. It's another cold day with flurries and sleet...so not a bad day to stay inside and play in my office.

The large box cover measures 3 1/2 x 8 1/2.
The scalloped band was cut at 2 1/2 x 8 1/2, and the punched along the long sides with the scallop border punch.
The Designer paper band was cut at 2 x 7 for the box on the left and 1 7/8 x 7 for the box on the right.

Everything for this project is from Stampin' Up! Here's a list of the supplies:
Stamps: I (Heart) Hearts
Paper: Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip, Sending Love Designer paper
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink
Punches: Scallop Circle, 1 3/8" circle, Heart to Heart

Thanks for stopping by,

Valentine Bear

Good evening!

Here's another Valentine bear! I bought 4 different bears made by Penny Black and I'm having such fun coloring with my Copic markers. I've used another paper from Pink Paislee and the striped pattern is actually the reverse side of the hearts. You can expect a few more valentines to come over the next few days... I'm obsessed!

Thanks for stopping by!

Penny Black Valentine Bear

Good Evening and Happy February!
Isn't this little bear adorable? Both the Bear and the sentiment stamps are from Penny Black. You may see this little guy showing up in numerous projects over the next few days!
The patterned paper is "Hearts Bloom" from Pink Paislee's Cupid Collection and every design in this line is absolutely gorgeous!
The bear is colored with Copic markers:
C1, Y11, R20, R35, B000, E31, E33 and 0-Colorless blender.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Tilda in Red

Oh my Goodness! Each time I open up another one of my new Magnolia stamps, I fall in love with another little Tilda!
I've been hoarding this flocked paper from Stampin' Up! forever. I decided I would finally cut into my first piece and I'm so glad I did. I punched the lacey strip with my Martha Stewart "Doily Lace" edge punch - so dainty! She is colored with Copic markers - (I have a lot of work to do on blending reds). The hearts along the left side are some large metallic brads from Hobby Lobby and the red satin ribbon is salvaged from Christmas wrapping. (I can't stand to throw away any ribbon!)
Thanks for stopping by!

My Very First Magnolia Stamp

I have totally fallen in love with Magnolia stamps! This is my first official card using two of my new Magnolia stamps: Jam Tilda and Old Bench. Tilda was stamped first and then masked so the bench could be added "beneath" her. These stamps have become my new obsession!!
The card measures 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. The designer paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle.
I used my Copic Markers to color the images.
Thanks for stopping by!
