Cards for Soldiers - February Happy Valentine's Day!

I haven't made Cards for Soldiers in awhile simply because it's been crazy busy here. I missed crafting a lot so I decided to make some Valentine Cards.

LOVE the Kitchen Sink Stamps, and I haven't used them in awhile. There are so many pretty heart/rose images from this company! I also got out one of my favorite heart wheels and used a darker pink just to be able to see the hearts running across the background!



Here is a set I made similar to last year - One Sheet Wonders using red and pink roses with the Romance embossing folder.



Please Enjoy!

Cards for Soldiers 1/8 to 1/28

The theme for this Cards for Soldiers was 'Scrap your Stash'... with blues, greens, and purples since we already finished and got our Valentine's cards out.

I have these finished, but since we're snowbound here, I'm not sure when they'll get in the mail! They'll go out as soon as possible for sure!!

I really LOVE the happy birthday cut, and the cupcake just went perfectly with the background papers I had, so here again we have similar cards.

Cards for Soldiers 9/7 to 10/22/2010

This Cards for Soldiers Challenge was to create Thanksgiving and Christmas cards! You might already know this, but Christmas is my very favorite holiday! I love everything about Christmas... the colors, the holiday season, the shopping, and especially the lights!!

I made 40 cards for this challenge - here are some of my favorites. I used a template by one of the other CFS Queens - a 3 sheet wonder!



I have some really amazing Christmas cardstock, so I got some of it out and started playing early with Christmas cards. :)

Cards for Soldiers 7/24 to 8/14/2010

I signed up for 20 cards for this particular challenge since things are getting busy again around here! :)

For the first card, I embossed the light purple cardstock with the Romance folder, and inked it with both Lovely Lilac, and Elegant Eggplant ink.
The white cut is a Nestability - Lattice. Once I had them cut and embossed then I got out my Stencil collection chalks, and added some color.

I used the Lyrical Letters cartridge to cut out the I Love You's - 3 times... white, pink, and red, layered them with foam, and added red stickles on the heart.



This Love You also comes from the Lyrical Letters cartridge cut 3 times as above. I embossed the white background cardstock with the Candy Hearts folder, sprayed it with Tattered Angels glimmer mist, and then inked the edges twice with Pretty in Pink and Pixie Pink Stampin' Up inks.

Cards for Soldiers 7/5 - 7/23/2010 45 Summer Fruits!

This round of CFS I was making up for a lost commitment. I promised 15 cards before my nephew's wedding and I just couldn't get them done. SO, for this challenge, I made 45 cards. 30 for this round and the missing 15 from the previous Challenge.

I couldn't believe how lucky I was that the challenge was Summer Fruits! I'd been playing with my Kitchen Sink Stamps - strawberries, blueberries, raspberries... and had 2 sheets all stamped of more One Sheet Wonders! I've stopped using the template, and started cutting the sheet up into inchies, and inch strips because I like the way they look. I also got the chance to use one of my newer carts, Preserves to cut the double strawberries. During a meeting I had last week the strawberries got their doodling after I'd inked them with Pomegranate and Garden Green ink.

Please enjoy!!! Can you pick out the two that are my favorites from the set??
















This is one of my two absolute favorites!!!
Red, White, and Blue!










































































I really love this one too... lots of inchies all spaced out, but your brain puts them back and allows you to see the entire picture. :) This one is my 2nd favorite!
