Stamp Set # 27 Valentine Cards

This card was made using stampin up set # 27.  I stamped the heart with embossing ink and heat embossed it with pink embossing powder.  I trimmed the edge with lace scraps.  I wanted to make the Love stand out so traced the Love with a quickie glue pen and sprinkled with crystal glitter.  It made the Love totally disappear into the card.  I then used a green pen to color the glitter.  Finally the Love stood out and could be seen.  The green piece of paper behind the heart is a scrap of mulberry paper that I ran through my cuddlebug using a lace design.  I wanted to add something more because it looked plain so decided to use two pieces of ribbon and make a triple bow by winding them together.  I finished the card using a scrap of green paper and stamping the be my valentine stamp and also added a small bit of embroidered flowers to the top of the heart. The heart is attached to the green paper using pop dots and the rest is glued using a glue runner and glue dots.

I wanted to do a different card using the same stamp set and the following card is what I came up with.  I also wanted to incorporate a piece of ugly paper.  You know the one,  we all have them.  Following is a picture of the ugly paper and then the card I created with it.

This card was made using stampin up set # 27.  I stamped the heart with embossing ink and heat embossed it with red embossing powder.   I stamped the small heart, the sentiment and the small hearts using other stamps the # 27 set.  I then cut them out.  The sentiment I cut using a pair of decorative scissors.  I cut a piece of red paper and attached it to the card.  I then trimmed the ugly paper to fit and allow a bit of the red to show.  I trimmed the ugly paper so that when I attached the red heart it would cover the birds head.  I attached the red heart and the remaining pieces using pop dots.  I'm  happy how my ugly paper turned into a pretty valentine card.
