Sweet cards using Little Blue Button Stamps

I had fun using the adorable images with hearts.  I chose to use Rag Doll Sweetheart Love letters for my first card.  I started with a Recollections corrugated card base.  I added a piece of Kaisercraft pattern paper that has mailing envelopes and postage marks on it. I took a piece of light pink vintage lace that I got from Craftsupplies1 and added it across the middle of the patterned paper.   I then colored up my image with Copic markers and will list them below the photo.  I inked around the edge with some pink chalk ink and then adhered the image to some beautiful pink chevron pattern paper.  I adhered 2 wood veneer hearts from Studio Calico in the upper right hand corner.    I adhered this to the card on the right hand side off center.  I added a paper flower in the lower right hand corner and in the lower left hand corner I made a flower cluster with some paper flowers that I was given.  I made a stickpin with some beads from Craftsupplies1 and added it behind the flowers.

I took a 5 X7 white cardstock base.  I added a piece of doily patterned paper.  I then adhered a strip of Chevron pattern paper across the bottom of the card.  I added 3 small daisy flowers to the lower left corner of the chevron strip and 3 enamel dots to the right hand side of the strip.   I colored up the Heart Lollipop Charlie images with my Copic markers and will list the colors until the photo. I then used my Tim Holtz broken china distress ink to ink around the image in the background.   I then cut a Memory box Victorian frame die with some gray patterned paper.  I adhered the image behind the frame.  I took a piece of patterned paper from Crate Paper "Fourteen" paper stack that had banners on it and fussy cut them out.  I adhered the banners across the top of the frame and used some enamel dots in grey on each end of the banner.  I then adhered some pearl hearts to the top and bottom of the frame.  Thanks for looking.

Valintine cards for Little Blue Button Stamps Blog


The first card I created for a sweet friend who loves fairies and I used the "Valentine Eris".  The card base is a white cardstock that I added a piece of patterned paper from the Pebbles "Yours Truly".  I then added some laces on the top from my stash.  I took some adorable sparkly hearts that I was given in a RAK and placed them on the top left hand side of the lace.  I die cut a piece of polka dot paper with my Sizzix Heart with wings #2 die.  I added one sparkly heart to the die cut piece.  I then added a wonderful bling trim that I got from an online store.  I colored up the Eris images with my Copics and will list the colors below the photo. I stickled up her wings.    I added a crown charm to her small crown on her head.

The next card is a Valentine for my husband. I used a white card base.   I was gifted the wonderful woodgrain stamp from a sweet friend. I inked it up with brown ink.  I decided it would look good to have letters like our initials were carved in the tree.  I then added a heart rhinestone bling.  I cut out a piece of green cardstock to make it look like the top of the tree.  I had this adorable wheelbarrow stamp filled with hearts in my stash and stamped it out and colored it in with my Copics and then I added some puffy heart stickers and also rhinestone ones.  I cut a banner out of red cardstock and used a Michaels stamp for the sentiment.     I used the adorable Simon image from Little Blue Button stamps.  He is colored with my Copics and I placed him to the left of the tree.
