Hey there from Nannyland,

Valentine's Day makes my cardmaker's heart beat faster each year because it's a delightful pivot from the Christmas card-making frenzy to a calmer, more mellow mindset.  I'm always anxious to switch gears and create equally colorful and heartfelt cards for friends and family. Bring on the  red hearts, lace and cupids! One of my artistic passions is sending handmade love to people I adore by snail mail.

This darling Digi Doodles Studios digital stamp was a dream to color with aqua and pink Copic markers.  I sized a heart frame from the Cricut Image Library to fit a 6 1/2 inch square card and printed my cute girls in a size to entwine with my heart. I created the sentiment tag using the Cricut cutting and writing features.  I added sparkle by edging the card front panel, heart and tag layers with a silver leafing pen and zhuzhed up my hearts with aqua gems.  I cut out four heart bases and glued them together for dimension. 

This is number one of several fun Valentine cards I have in mind to create before February 14.  I took some time off for eye surgery and have gotten a little behind,  but thankfully I'm back in the game,  so I'd better get creating!  

Thanks for visiting Nannyland.

I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
