Valentine's for Soldiers

I have been without a camera, because our little digital gave out, and I had to take these with my hubby's IPhone. He bought a really cool new camera, and was so excited showing it off to his parents, he left it at their house. So, I'm reposting some pics of Valentines to encourage you to send some cards to Beate who is sending them to soldiers who are away from their Valentines serving our country bravely! Do it today, so she can get them in time! She will send you an address, so email her first! Spread the love! And if you've checked out the Color Q site save your Color Collection, upload a photo of your Valentine's, and em me the name so I can check them out! Happy Stamping!

Products/Techniques Used

Thought you might want to know what products I used for this Valentine's Card. All products are Stampin'Up! because they are the best! Card itself is Rose Red Card stock, with a strip of Regal Rose, and image is stamped on Naturals Ivory. I think the Ivory has a more Vintage look than the Vanilla-so I thought it suited a Valentine. The stamps are from the (just retired) Wing It Stamp Set, and the Rough Edges Alphabet. I used Real Red, and Pixie Pink Ink Pads, with Pixie Pink sponged/blender penned in on the edges. Glitter on sentiment and crown are 2-way glue with Dazzling Diamonds. Rhinestone brad is from the Pretties kit (The smallest size). Ribbon is (oops-Martha Stewart Seam Binding)-but I wont have my Regal Rose until my Valentine's Bundle comes in-FREE RIBBON! Check it out before the special is over! I used the Slit Punch to create 2 right angle slots for the ribbon, which i folded back through the opposite holes. Stampin Dimensionals lift the sentiments.Inside Is Naturals Ivory Card stock.
On the Valentine Candy Treat I used Real Red Textured Cardstock and Regal Rose card stock. Real Red and Pixie Pink ink for the Wing It images and sentiment. Versamarker on Heart with Clear Embossing Powder. 2 way glue and Dazzling Diamonds on Crown and swirled on background. Le Piece De Resistance: Hat Pin, Pearls, and Rhinestones from the Pretties Kit. Other:Making Memories pink staples, Adhesive bags-Michaels.
