& Whoo's Your Valentine sneak peak.

Creating simple cards to start off my New Year. I am using a new Close To My Heart Stamp set, "Happy Birthday Cricut Artiste"  Bundle collection-Z1686. 

My inspiration came from my Wishes Card Confidence book. 

I am using scraps of old papers and combining with  new. 

As you know, I do not do many cards. I have gotten better and hope 

to improve as 2013 takes shape in my crafty world.

I used the tearing technique, sponged the edges in Chocolate Brown ink-Z2111. Layered the papers onto a folded 4" x 4.5"  white daisy card stock base. Placed a 2.5"x 2.5" white square in the center.

The tag was stamped with stamp set A Typeface-A1117

Inked the Chipboard letter in Outdoor Denim-Z2140, 

edged in the Chocolate ink

then tied Hemp around the upper extension of the letter 

to hang the tag from. 

I added some Bling by adding metal stars left over 

from another project.

Here is another version using the same products and tools with a touch of my CTMH Glitter Glitz Gel (Love the stuff-doesn't run & the glitter doesn't rub off) outlining the upper paper tear. Also the Stamp set used here for the sentiment is Be Happy-B1374

Hope you enjoy the cards. Love to get your crafty comments on what you think of my first two cards for this year.
