The Observation Car

Everyone loves receiving Valentine cards.  Parents, lovers, children, grandchildren, and friends all enjoy a greeting on that special day.  Here’s a selection you can copy or embellish upon.  Designer papers are from BoBunny, cardstock is Stamp Express quality cardstock.  Dies are Spellbinders and Accucut.  Cupcake stamps are from Hero Arts.  Sentiment stamp is JustRite, and the bunny is Stampavie.  All coloring is done with Copic markers.  Remember when cutting images out by hand, move the paper instead of the scissors for a smoother cut.  Also, cut just outside the lines so that you can see the stamped outline.  Embellishments include Prima flowers, butcher twine from Stampin’ Up, and glued on beads for the cupcake decorations.  These are such fun to make, you’ll want to make more.  All products are available at www.stampexpressstore.com.  During January, everything is 30% off!  Start crafting!

When my cousin had a hip replacement before Christmas, I sent her this adorable puppy image with her leg in a bandage.  What a great get well card from Stampavie.  Now at least a half dozen customers at Stamp Express have had knee replacements, hip replacements, and foot surgery since the holidays.  These cards are for you.  And, you know who you are.  We hope you will all be on the mend soon.
