HSS 105: Full of Love

I thought I'd share the Valentines I created for my loved ones. They are all small cards, I always seem to think Valentine cards should be small, maybe it's a throwback from when I was little?!

All these cards reflect my vision of love (different kinds of love for different kinds of people) but I had to chose only one to enter in the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge. I'm not sure if entering more than one is allowed, but if so, I don't know how that would work. I'm still figuring this challenge stuff out.

For my stampin' partner (mom):

Stamps: Valentine Defined

Ink: Real Red, Pretty in Pink

Paper: Real Red, Naturals Ivory cardstock, and Sending Love dsp (retired)

Tools: XL scallop punch, Sizzlits Hearts Set die, distresser tool

Extras: Pearl

For "the man", who is not into anything flowery:

(I'm so pleased with this one, cause it's so him: minimalist, gets the message across in a clear manner, no big fuss about it, and movin' on. )

Stamps: Valentine Defined

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Real Red

Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White

Tools: Heart punch

Extras: Crumb Cake seam binding

For my lovely sister:

Stamps: Valentine Defined, Teeny Tiny Verses, Simply Said (retired)

Ink: Pretty in Pink

Paper: Naturals Ivory, Very Vanilla, Sending Love dsp (retired)

Tools: heart punch, Sizzlets Heart Set die, decorative label punch, eyelet border punch

Extras: pearls, linen thread, Very Vanilla button

I return to this particular stamp again and again, it's timeless!

Only the top portion of the eyelet punch peeks out, and I "resized" the decorative label punch for my greeting.

I'm thrilled to say that my sister's valentine was chosen as one of  Hand Stamped Sentiments' picks of the week!

Hope you're feeling the love of those around you today!

Happy Valentine's Day!
