Happy Valentine's Day 2026

Happy Valentine's Day!

Are you enjoying a special day with your special person or persons? I'm holding my monthly card class this afternoon which will be special. Quiet night tonight with dinner take out to relax and enjoy this long Family Day Weekend.

Today's card is one I designed following Sue Campfield's design. Lots of folds and patterned paper. Turned out great! Hope you enjoy your day!

Sending Little Snippets of Joy Welcome Baby Card

Such a beautiful and fun card from my Silver Sister, Desirée Simpson with so much texture going on: a lovely embossed and sponged layer with small strips of coordinating patterned paper as a background. It has such a nice spring feel and I would use it as a welcome baby card for sure!

Dies that double as embossing folders

You'll take a "double-take" on this card when you realize it's not a die cut but an embossed layer using a die cut - what?!?! Yes, it can be done. Just adjust your die cutting machine sandwich as follows:

Basic Plate + Acryllic Plate #1 + Paper + Silicone Craft Sheet + Acryllic Plate #2

I usually cut up into the Silicone Craft Sheet to get that embossed over a cut look. Then I trimmed the paper down to the stitched edges.

Then I added the die cut tulip flower shapes in Misty Moonlight. Another great way to use a die!

A take on Nature's Symphony

Sharing a card from my friend and Silver Sister Lisa Henderson from our group swap. This one feature's the Nature's Symphony Bundle which is in our January to April Mini catalogue. A gorgeous large leaf stamp with coordinating dies and this lovely greeting with a fun fold opening to boot! Thanks, Lisa!

Valentine's Treat Holders for Sorority

I had some fun this week making sweet valentine's treat holders. These hold 3 of the thin rectangular Merci chocolates and a gift card. There was a special reason for that: in my Sorority we exchange $25 gift cards at our first meeting in February - sort of a valentine's themed exchange. Not specifically with our secret sister for the year but instead we pass them around the circle as we read a "left-right" game or story and when the story is over, you keep the gift card in your hand. Everyone usually participates but it's optional. I thought these would be perfect to hold our gift cards so no one will keep track of which ones are where!

Here's where I got the left-right story for this year:.
