Valentine Trio

Now as I made this year's clean & simple Hey Valentine card (shared here)... I knew some of my ladies would think I had gone completely and barking mad with the gorilla image,. and that they would really would not want to make that one for their "loved one"... so I made a few spares...

First up a simple stamped and die cut heart... I reckon this is the least fussy heart from the gorgeous Meant to Be stamp set with co-ordinating dies... and so is suitable for cards for the men folk...

And then secondly... with just one person in mind.... yes for the Andrea and Andrew duo....and another card with "the main squeeze" expression from the Lemon Zest set ... though we had to go pink grapefruit for the citrus fruit!

And so... everyone was happy!!

Join me at the Tuscan Vineyard...

Let me take you to Tuscany in Italy today... in 5 different ways!

Grab a new Very Vanilla Note Card & Envelope ... overstamp with Postscript in Sahara Sand...

Die cut an aperture with the Layering Ovals... and then play around with the images in Tuscan Vineyard... as much or as little as you would like... depending on how much time you have and how much you like to fussy cut!

Start off super simple... just a greeting (I used Lemon Zest here as it happened to be out!) and the Soft Suede stamped & oval die cut scene through the aperture...

Add a Soft Suede stamped on Crumb Cake basket and bottle...

Add an Early Espresso stamped on Old Olive olive oil bottle...

 Add some Soft Suede on Very Vanilla corks in a row...

And then fussy cut your Old Olive on Very Vanilla olive branch heart out! (I used three here)

Finished off with a Soft Suede stamped, Sahara Sand sponged and Berry Burst/Old Olive coloured wine label...

An idyllic little scene... that immediately makes you want to holiday in sunny Tuscany.... amongst the olive groves and grape vines... Cheers!

To My Main Squeeze...

Another simple but effective Foil Frenzy card to brighten your life! (well it does in the flesh... in fact it almost blinds us across the room as the light hits it!)

Simple squares of Foil Frenzy paper to form the grid background...

Finished off with a juicy Lemon Lime slice ... with the "To My Main Squeeze" expression

Perfect for Andrew I think Andrea!!!? Could have been your Anniversary card....
