Valentines for the Girls

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I went with blue instead of pink for valentines this year.
Usually I'm not much of a blue person, but several of my friends and family
claim blue as their favorite color.


This first card is a combination of two cards from my last class.

The heart is from Spellbinders and the bird die has been in my stash for
years and sadly is now discontinued.

and...


The other stamps and dies from the Spellbinders set for my granddaughter.

and....


A twist on a card from the class using the same set and the embossing folder from
last month's Spellbinders Embossing Club.

Thank you for the Threefer inspiration, Bon! I can't remember if I've ever made a Valentine in blue, but I sure love the idea and all of your designs! Happy Valentine's Day! Hugs, Dolly

Trina P. said...

Blue Valentine’s!… YES, please! All 3 are beautiful. Fabulous designs, too

Leslie Miller said...

This is an especially pretty shade of blue and it's nice to go nontraditional now and then. The stamping embossed in white looks amazing on it. All the supplies you used are so lovely. I really like the banner and the shape of the hearts on your third card. Those letters on your second card are so cute, and the birds on the first... they fit right in and I love them!

Brenda in IN said...

Blue is my favorite color and these warm my heart. I love the embossing folder and that design on the heart and love. The love birds are the sweetest. Three wonderful cards, Bonnie.

A great change from red Valentines! Of course I love them since blue is my favourite colour! Such sweet birds sitting on the beautiful heart! Great layouts on all three cards.

Lisa Elton said...

Three lovelies all dolled up in blue! Your blue loving family and friends will enjoy these, Bonnie!

Nstiz said...

Three beautiful cards, Bonnie. Don't you love when you can get three very different cards out of a stamp and die set, Love the non-traditional color for Valentine. Love these!

Pat said...

Three brilliant valentines for your family Bonnie, and I think they look beautiful in the blue with those cute birds over the prettily stamped heart, and tghe stamping continued on the next on the large die cut 'Love', and lastly another stamped heart matted on to a white one and with the sentiment perfectly placed across it, and such a super EF used on this and the last. x

You may have started a new trend, Bonnie. Your blue valentines are wonderful, each different and lovely in their own way. You know the bird one is my favorite. ;)

So fresh with the blue.

Three gorgeous cards in shades of blue Bonnie but my heart has definitely gone for the first - I never can resist a bird! You have been such an enabler as I have been admiring the embossed details on your cards for a long time now and have finally started my collection of EFs!! Vicky x
