Love is in the Air

I made this card for one of my mom's friends. Her Valentine loves model airplanes and such and I thought this was the most perfect theme I could go with. I was able to find the "Up in the Air" on my Silly and the plane from there as well. After I'm not sure how long of writing quotes and such for Valentine's Day cards, I found what I thought would be the best quote for the inside

Steampunk Valentine's Day Cards Part 2

I think if I had to pick a favorite Steampunk theme card, the one above would be my favorite. There is just something with the paper and the lettering that I find pretty awesome. I used some of my Graphic 45 paper, stuff that I usually have a hard time using since it is always so awesome cool. I thought the paper went well with the dress form with a belt of floss and a brad that came from one of my Halloween brad sets that I got. The fonts are something that I collected from one of the free font sites, I'm always looking for new and different fonts to use on my cards and I think this collection worked out well.

This is the other Steampunk Valentine's Day card that I made as well using my 5x5 cards that have a detailed edge which make the front of the card pop since I picked a nice dark purple to go with the purple swirls that were on the paper, they had a reflective look to them so I thought it would tie in nicely together. The wings on this dress form was inked with purple to match all the other purple I had going on. I guess I could have used a green to make things pop, but I think this turned out just the way it should have been. The love on this card is using a ton of different fonts which goes with the Steampunk theme.

Steampunk Valentine

I LOVE this card! It sort of just developed as I continued to put papers together and try to make something work. I started out with the dress form (which is so hot right now) and then I sort of went from there. I wanted it to be something classy but I couldn't figure out the background paper to go with the light lime green color of the dress form. I then used my Silly to cut out different fonts letters to spell out the word love. I then used the same quote from the other Valentine's Day card that I made on the inside of the card. I also used some of the paper that had dictionary type style to it on the side as well. I also embossed the background paper of the inside with a clocks and dials type embossing folder.

I so love this card, I may have to make a similar one in a different size.

2012 Valentine's Day Card

In preparation for the 2012 Valentine's Day holiday, I have begun making cards. This was using my latest and greatest Cricut cartridge called Victorian Romance. The woman on the front of the card came from the cart while the rest I either used my Silly or Word for printing out the inside's quote.


I spent quite a bit of time actually collecting quotes for the inside of the card. I also try to collect quote to use in my cards. I thought that the quote in this card was a super good one.
