Now that the holidays are over and we’ve begun a new year,
it’s time to turn my thoughts to a very special holiday that my family loves
to celebrate—Valentine’s Day! Among other things, we like to make it a special
day for each other by making valentines. Here’s an idea for a handmade
valentine using the beautiful Lucky In Love Collection Kit and Designer Stamps.
I used the Designer Stamps in some fun ways to create
texture and to alter some stickers from the collection. First I created an
embossed heart doily by covering the doily stamp with some watermark ink, and
then stamping the image onto plain white cardstock.
Next I sprinkled some gold embossing powder over the stamped
image, making sure to cover the entire image. I carefully poured the excess
powder back into the container. Then I used my heat gun to emboss the image.
(Be sure to allow the embossed image to cool before handling.) I love the rich
texture that the embossed gold heart doily adds to the card!

How about you? Do you like to make handmade valentines to
celebrate with you loved ones?
