I have had a TON of cards sitting on my camera begging to get edited and shared with the world, and finally I had time yesterday to spend most of the day editing them.  So, with Valentine’s day just around the corner, I thought I would share some of the great card swaps I received at Leadership that are perfect for giving to a loved one on Friday.

Isn’t Red, Gold, and Black such an awesome color scheme?!  I love how she did a bunch of gold embossing over the red base and the black cardstock (that she then punched out with the Petite Petals punch).  Then add some gold washi tape and the gold baker’s twine and just a touch of red glimmer paper.  Very elegant!

A less traditional card but really fun and whimsical.  I love the sentiment from the Love You to the Moon set and I think the punched out moon for the rocket to fly around is so cute (yes the moon is part of the stamp image but I like the layering with a different color of cardstock.  And the Razzleberry button with white bakers twine is a nice touch at the top of the banner.

And finally a more traditional Valentine’s Day card with the red and white, and hearts!  This uses the heart framelits and see that cool flower background on the bigger heart?  That is the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder that embossed the Pool Party paper and then they inked it!

Check out my video tutorial for coloring the embossed flowers with this folder here

So some totally fun ideas to give you a few more ideas while you still have time to create!  I’ll have at least one or two more ideas for you this week, but hopefully this gets you started!
