If you are like me, you look for ways to 'fill up' a card before sending it out.

Don't forget to look at your stash of patterned paper scraps (you are keeping those, right?) for adding interest to your cards.

Send a bouquet of flowers to your favorite Valentine!

I love cards that have stamped images colored by hand.

It takes time, and as soon as I see it I know it took some time to do.

My first Valentine Card for this year is a pretty easy one.

The stamped images are all embossed. I am a huge fan of this, since it not only makes the image "pop" off if the card, but the difference in texture and dimension makes the card seem like there is more to it than there actually is.

There isn't much to this card, but here's what I did....

Earlier this week I posted one of my Valentine Card designs, but that card is somewhat involved and takes a bit of time - not good for people who send out several Valentine's Day cards.

I promised you an easier design, so here it is.

If you're going to make any Valentine cards this year, this is the time for getting your supplies in order.

This is my Valentine's Card design for this year, but I wouldn't suggest it if you have alot of cards to make since it's a bit time-consuming.
