It’s Monday! Make it Mine Monday! Woo Hoo!
It’s also time to start thinking about Valentines. Yep, Valentines. These cute little 3 x 3 notes are my take on the ones we made at Stampin’ Up!’s November On Stage event. You can see the ones that Stampin’ Up! designed in the second picture.
The first thing I changed on my little cards was to get rid of the color green. I’m sorry….Valentines aren’t green. Save the green for St. Patrick’s Day! Ha!
Stampin’ Up! used the Sending Love Designer Series Paper for the bases of the cards but I used Thick Whisper White card stock on all of mine. On the first and third cards I just cut a 3 x 3 piece of designer paper and adhered it to the front of the card.
On the card in the upper right it’s hard to tell from the picture but I colored the wooden Sending Love embellishment red by rubbing the Real Red ink on it with a Sponge Dauber. Did you know that you could do that? Yep. Just make sure to heat set it so the ink dries before you handle it.
Don’t you love the little envelopes in the center cards? They’re made from the Sending Love Glassine Sheets and the Love Notes Framelits.
Can you see how easy it is to start with something and just change it up a bit to make it your own? I hope you’re enjoying my Make it Mine Mondays. Let me know what you think. Take care and Happy Stamping!
