Crafty Secrets Valentine

Happy Monday my friends!

This weekend I had a lot of fun playing with the Vintage Valentine Digital Kit from Crafty Secrets. (I have 3 projects to share with you.  Grab a comfy seat and a beverage ... I'll be a quick as I can!

 The papers and images are beautiful and the images reminded me so much of the Valentine's we used to hand out as kids on Valentine's Day in grade school.  Check it out ... you'll know what I mean!  

(That is if you were alive in the 1950's & 60's, LOL!)

 Isn't this paper gorgeous?  And the wonderful thing is that these pieces are all DIGITAL.  That means you can print it for the proper size on a small card, a large card, a 3d project ... what ever your project requires.

I love doing fancy fold cards and I saw this one done by Joanne over on the Cheery Lynn Designs Blog.  I wanted to be able to use  a lot of the beautiful papers/images so this size worked perfectly.   The only items on this card that are NOT Crafty secrets are the Glittery Heart (RAK), pink brad, pink ribbon and the mulberry flower came from Wild Orchid Crafts.

 Here's a little closer view of the inside of my card and the rose.  SU Crystal Effects was used on the rose for dimension.  Of course a bit of fussy cutting was required after printing too!

Here's a second creation made using the same kit.

The background paper, sentiment and corner treatment were all done on the computer in Word using this fabulous Vintage Valentine Digital Kit.   I've added SU Crystal Effect to the corner treatment for added dimension and a little ribbon treatment.  Very EASY PEASY!

 

Here's a peek at the inside of my card.

(Trying to stay true to my New Years Resolution to finish the inside of my cards!)

The last creation I have to share with you today is a Valentine Goodie Canister made from an empty Crystal Lite container.  Perfect for holding Hershey Kisses (or your favorite candy) to give hubby for Valentine's Day.

A touch of 1/4" red satin ribbon & a sparkly heart were the perfect embellishment to showcase this ADORABLE Valentine.  My musical background paper was also printed from this kit.  This entire project took me about 15 minutes ... including printing!  So Easy and So Adorable!
