I started this card by Water coloring my background on watercolor paper. I stamped the bots from MFT's Bionic Bots with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White card stock and colored them with Copics. I added Clear Wink Of Stella to the girl bot.. I used Simon Says Stamp Sketched Heart die and cut various coordinating card stock which i adhered to my watercolor piece.

 I punched tiny hearts from the same colors. Next I heat embossed my sentiment on a strip of vellum in black Ep. To finish my card I mounted the bots, hearts and vellum then added glossy accents to some of the hearts,

This card started with a piece of Neenah Solar white card stock and some clear contact paper that I die cut 2 different sized hearts out of to use the negative as a mask. After laying the contact paper in place I began stamping different sentiments and music notes from CAS-ual Fridays Love Notes in SSS Hydrangea, Hollyhock and MFT Lavender Fields. After peeling off the mask I heat embossed music notes using Ranger Liquid Platinum ep. I die cut the Treble Clef, Double Note and Heart Note Fri-dies in Black then just the hearts in MFT Silver Sparkle. I adhered these hearts to the notes. I stamped the music score in black ink on vellum. After adhering everything to my cards front I mounted it to black card stock then MFT Periwinkle then SU Pink Passion.

This card was the most fun. I started with a piece of SU Very Vanilla card stock and die cut CAS-ual Fridays Lovely Links to create a background I could do paper inlay on. To get the rest of my pieces I used these same dies and cut SU Sunshine, Pool Party, Real Red and Bermuda Bay. I attacked a piece of Stick It to a piece of Neenah Solar White then attached my Very Vanilla piece and started inlaying the different colors. I die cut Avery Elle Simply Said Love and Simply Said You out of black card stock and adhered them to the front. I finished by mounting this on SU Bermuda Bay card stock.

I wanted to make valentines that would be used and therefor preserved. I die cut Shrinky Dink material using heart dies and Avery Elle Wonky Stitches. I stamped my sentiments using Altenew Super Script 2, Avery Elle Simply Said Love, TGF Flutter Heart and Avery Elle Laurels on the slick side with black Stazon. The matte side I stamped using Avery Elle Laurels, The Greeting farm Flutter Heart and Newton's Nook Newton's Christmas Cuddles. some were stamped with Simon Says Stamp inks and some I colored with copics. I layed then on my metal schim plate and used my heat tool to shrink them. I finished them by hot gluing a magnet to the back.
