The tag...sorry this pic is so awful!
A while ago I decided that I was going to join the Peachy Keen Stamp of the Month Club. I love the projects I see online with their stuff, so I thought this was a good way to start out. The first set did not disappoint! SO CUTE! But, I soon realized that I needed markers to color these adorable stamps in with. I had read a lot online about Copics, so when I saw a set of 6 at Hobby Lobby I decided to bite the bullet. I thankfully had my phone, and so I used the 40% off coupon. Needless to say, the next 2 times I went to Hobby Lobby I picked up another 6 pack and used the coupon. Now I have all of the ones that HL offers...guess I'll have to find somewhere online to get more colors! This is my first attempt at coloring. I hate to toot my own horn, but I LOVE these cards!

I have a 6" x 6" red base that I inked the edges with black. Next comes a black square, followed by a Kraft square, and topped with the white square. I stamped the image on the white, colored it in, and then adhered it to the card layers, once I had rounded off opposite corners. I really like the effect of the opposite corner rounding.
To the inside, I added another white square (with the opposite rounded corners again!) and used the "Be Mine" stamp from My Creative Time. I love this heart...it is so cute! I believe the HVD sentiment is from the PKS Stamp of the Month.
Variation 2 of the card...this one is for my nephews, so it's a bit less "girly"...I think!
I love this card! I'm not sure if I love it so much because it's my first time coloring a stamped image or if I love it because I just sat down and created it...I didn't follow anyone's project for inspiration. Either way, I love it!
Now, I can't leave my own family out of the V-Day love! So, each of them has a gift bag for tomorrow morning. I thought I should make them a cute card for the gift bag. I cut a 3.5" x 7" white cardstock and then cut 3" squares of Kraft. The stamping and die cut heart are all from My Creative Time. I love her stamps and dies. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
The heart is a die from MCT and then the stamp fits perfectly inside...how COOL is that? This is the first time I've used these sets and I have to tell you...they are beautiful! I love how they turned out. The stamps just stamp such a beautiful crisp image.

The three bags, for my three loves!
