Valentines up the WAZOO!!!!

Seriously - let's total them up:

Xavier: 16
Sophie: 16
Karen: 29
Victoria:26
Isabella: 25
TOTAL: 112
(Add on another 29 for Karen's friend MB who was over stamping with us last week and we have definitely hit WAZOO numbers!)

I decided to make ATC (Artist Trading Cards) Valentine cards this year. WHY? Because they are small, manageable and there is less paper waste.

Xavier insisted on having a tiger on his - until he saw my collection of stamps and then wanted a red alligator (Wild About You! ~SU!) Xavier's favorite color is red - so we went with the red base and the real red ink. The back of his card is stamped with the SU! set (Heart Sentiments & Simple Alphabet)

I used the Our Craft Lounge Treemendous Love set for the majority of the cards - pretty in pink or real red card base with an oval scalloped punched main image - colored in with copics. The back is stamped with their name!



Sophie's valentines are purple because she would not have it any other way! I used Heart sentiments - lovely lilac paper, tempting turqoise paper and glossy paper for the main heart. I created my own background paper using a sheet of white paper and an acrylic block - utilizing the sentiments and small hearts from the PTI set Heart Prints.



Here is the ATC template for creating 10 ATC's with one sheet of 8.5x11 cardstock!
