Here are three beautiful Valentine’s Day Cards using three different techniques and designs. The first is a tri-fold design with a top flap. We used an embossing plate to emboss the heart accent as well as a clear embossing powder on the stamped lips!

Can you see the clear puckered lips that adorn the striped paper?Here is a peek at the inside...Here is the inside of the card simply stated... "Love" and a pair of juicy, red lips!

Our second card uses a clear acrylic sheet for added interest and beauty. This card has an “asian” flare that is sure to please!

here si a shot of the inside… pretty neat, huh?

The paper used on the front of the card is double-sided so it is a perfect choice for this see-thru card!

The third card uses a “buckle” design. The papers are beautiful and very “vintage” Valentine…

This image shows the card's "buckle" closure. Just another way to add something more to a card's design!

This project was offered as a Tuesday Make & Take. Basically, we went through all of our “stash” and pulled a bunch of fun stuff that we thought would work for this book idea. We found mini envelopes, badge covers, clock faces, tags, die cuts, library pockets, library cards, and journaling cards as well as a plethora of odds & ends to add to the interest.

If you haven’t done so already, start looking more closely at the packaging that your embellishments come in… they sometimes make great little altered projects! This project was created with a “bubble” container made just for this type of project, but many embellishments come in packaging that is similar to this and can be altered into awesome little projects!

A Great Valentine's Day Gift for someone special

Remember, keep an eye on all that nifty packaging, you may be getting more than you paid for!

This year Captured Moments will be issuing Calendar Page kits (12″x12″) each month. These kits are created from the Karen Foster Calendar kit as a base and then we are adding our own Captured Moments flare to the mix. We’ve added additional papers, card stock and embellishments and will follow a basic pattern month to month so that there is a nice, flow to the wole calendar year. Here is the January 2010 issue…

The layout is designed so that the entire Calendar Year will have a coordinated flow.

The photo mats will alternate between months so that on some months the photo will place in the landscape position and other times in the portrait position. Read the rest of this entry »
