Handmade Valentines

In just a few days it will be Valentines Day! I love celebrating by creating a few handmade Valentines. I already shared a couple of the Valentines I made HERE. For all my Valentines I used the We Go Together collection from Pebbles. I chose this collection because of the traditional color palette (with a touch of teal) and the playful, fun, embellishments.
I used a ton of glitter heart stickers to create this card:

 Honestly, this is one of my all time favorite cards. It's so simple but it's still adorable.

The other card I created is very simple too with just some patterned paper and some stickers.

I created both of these cards in under 30 minutes. So easy and so cute and SO quick.

You should create some handmade Valentines too, there's still time. Are you ready for Valentines Day?

Supplies:

Scrapbooking with Transparencies

 

At CHA I noticed that there are a lot of companies that are releasing transparent paper and embellishments. Bella Blvd is one of those companies with transparencies. These transparencies are so adorable and there are two different kinds. I used them both on this layout.

The polka dot transparencies I used on this layout are called "clear cuts." Clear Cuts come in tons of bright fun colors and several patterns to accompany all of Bella Blvd's new lines. I cut several colors of the polka dot clear cuts and stitched them to white cardstock to create a fun colorful background.

Behind the photo I used another kind of transparent paper. This one is called an "invisible"

Can we just talk about this photo for one second?... I love it, like really, really love it. I know it's totally imperfect but it's totally us.

 The invisibles are less transparent and are made of a thicker, heavier weight plastic. It's not too thick though, it went through my sewing machine with no problems. The other difference in the invisibles is that they come with fancy edges. The one I used on this layout is a scalloped edge.

I also used some of the invisibles on THIS project:

Isn't that big scalloped apple piece cute?!?! I can't wait put more of these on my projects. If you still need a few more ideas on how to use these two products you can find more ideas HERE. You can also find more details about these here:

Are Clear Cuts and Invisibles on your must have list? I know I'm ordering more of the gold and silver polka dot Clear Cuts ;)
