On the Way to Valentine's Day!

 Hard to believe we are in January already!  Valentine's Day will be here before you know it, so I thought I would get a head start on some cards for you; well actually a card and a tag made with our MSE stamps and Creative Impressions Embellishments!

First, the card:

The MSE stamps used were Cupid, Happy Valentine's Day (G547), and Be Mine from Y546 Be Mine Sentiments.  I hand cut the Cupid and adhered it to a panel with a previously adhered heart die cut from a piece of  patterned paper.  (if you don't have die cuts and a machine, you can used a heart template and hand cut the heart).  The "Happy Valentine's Day" was stamped on a scrap of white card stock, cut out, adhered to a piece of black scrap and finally adhered with pop dots over the heart.  

I used 1/'4" Red Glimmer Ribbon (70250) to create a bow which was adhered to the top of the heart.  Then I wrapped a piece of Black/White Baker's Twine (80713) around the center of the bow.

This entire white panel was adhered to a black card stock mat, then to a piece of patterned paper and finally to a white card.

To finish, I stamped "Be Mine" and the Hearts onto the right bottom portion of the card panel.

Now for the tag:

I hand cut a tag and adhered some Red Web Ribbon (70180) about three quarters down from the top of the tag.  I cut an inverted "V" into the bottom of this piece.  Then I stamped "be mine" and the hearts from MSE set # Y546 towards the bottom of the tag,  

I previously stamped the Cupid Tag onto a scrap of white card stock, cut it out and punched a hole at the top of the tag.  I ran a piece of Black/White Baker's Twine (80713) through the hole I made at the top of the tag, through the tag and tied a bow at the top.

Hope you enjoy this card and tag and are inspired to make your own.  Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at Creative Impressions!
