Daniel

I made this shaker card using a Tiddly Inks image 'Hip to be square', with balloon confetti in the shaker.

I coloured the image with promarkers.

Pink engagement card

I used the Crafters Companion SWALK stamps to create this card.

I created the background using distress inks, and coloured the image with Promarkers.

I made the rose (as taught by Stephanie Weightman at a show last weekend!!) and included a gem in the middle.

Valentine hearts

Here is my fourth and final Valentine's card for this year which I made for my lovely boyfriend Keiron :-) (I have no fear he will see this in the 55mins that remain before Valentine's Day as I don't think he even knows the address of my blog!)

I love this card. It was fairly simple to make, I used the glitter girls' open hearts and tall stories embossing board. Finished it off with a 'Love' embellishment I made with a stamp and a peel off border, a bow (using the bow shaper on crafters' companion's ultimate pro) and two 'Love is... you and me' digi stamps I coloured in with ruby promarker.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Valentine cupcake

Wow what a busy weekend!!

I have made 2 more Valentines cards and started on a few other things too!!

Here is the first card:

I used the cupcake from Polka Doodles CD 'Paper Boutique III'.

I coloured it in with promarkers and used stickles on the bottom of the case on the front and back.

On the back and the inside I used glitter for the frosting but on the front I used some glitter snow. It really looks like real icing and made me crave real cupcakes while I was making it!!!!

I decided to put a place to write on the back rather than on the inside and just cut a sqaure of plain card and used peel offs to create a border round it.

Betsy & Buster

My Mum asked me to make a Valentines card for her to send my Dad.

Ended up coming up with this:

The dog outlines are from Polka Doodles CDRom 'Paper Boutique III' as is the sentiment on the left.

The other sentiment 'Be my valentine' was an online freebie.

I used promarkers to colour in the bows, bandanas and ears of the dogs.

Used stickles glitter glue in the middle of the bows.

The big red heart is embossed from glitter girls embossing board 'Open Hearts and Tall Stories'.

The heart and backing for the two sentiments is plain red mirror card.

The round backing for the 'Be My Valentine' sentimet was cut using a spellbinders die.

Finally I used white flower soft for the dogs' fur.

Not sure where the ribbon and hearts were from as I just had them in my magic box of bits!!

Hope you like it, let me know what you think please.

I'm really pleased with this card so have decided it will be my first ever entry to any challenges!
