HELLO AND WELCOME to your 4th stop on the Valentine's Day Cards Blog Hop... If you just arrived here from: Elaine, you are hopping along the right trail! If for some reason, you stopped here first…just click on Cupid (below) for a list of all blogs...Please start with Ellen, our Hostess with the Mostest (#1 CardMonkey):
Ok, now to the reason you stopped by...CARDS! I had so much fun making my family their Valentine's Day cards. All animals were cut using the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge. The letters were cut using the Alphalicious cartridge. These my two favorite cartridges so far...
Card #1 is for my hubby...."Whale You Just Kiss Me!...I wuv you!" We love to make big pucker lips....
I cut the whale at 4inches using black (shadow), baby blue glitter (layer 1), and silver grey (layer 2). Card is baby blue glitter cardstock. I just love how the puckered glitter red lips turned out...so I made two whales!
Card#2 For my 2yr old daughter...
I made a cute Hawaiian bear card, that says, "I LAVA YOU!" I say this to her all the time, so I was so excited that the Create a Critter cart had the volcano. I turned the little dress into a flowery mumu and added stickles for BLING.
Card# 3 is for my 12yr old son...When he was a baby, I used to sing to him, "You are my sunshine..my only sunshine.." When I found some cheerful ribbon with this sentiment, I had to incorporate that into his Valentine's day card.
This is card features one of my favorite things, Treat Cups from Stampin-UP!. My friend, Crystal at Rustic Daisy is a fabulous artist and my Stampin Up contact...If interested, she can hook you up...or stay tuned for info on how you can win some BLOG CANDY!!!
The sun and butterfly are Create a Critter, too. I added glitter glue to add some spark and dimension to compliment the glittery blue paper. For step by step photo instructions, check out this slide show or leave a comment with your email (and I'll email you my photo instructions).
...Stampin-Up! also has a stamp set to go with the treat cup. For this Valentine's Day card, I used the "I love you" stamps, but it comes with a Halloween, Flower petal, and Hot Air Balloon stamps. Can't wait to try those out.
Card # 5 ~~ "Bananas Over You"
Card # 5 ~~ "Bananas Over You"
In honor of our Blog Hop Host, Card Monkey, I created this girly monkey card using my favorite Critter cartridge....Isn't she cute, complete with pink coat and shiny red lips?! My mama always said to be sure to apply lipstick!
The treat cup is filled with banana candies (Runts)...this was to tie with the sentiment inside "Bananas over You"...cut with Alphalicious.
Now the moment you've been waiting for...BLOG CANDY!
One lucky person has a chance to win: a box of Stampin-Up! Treat Cups and a set of cards already equipped with the perfect size hole for the cups!

Love your ideas...the phrases are too cute! I would fill the treat cups with M's (m&m's). They are my 2.5 year olds favorite candy. I would make him a valentine card and then let him help me make cards for all the relatives. :)

~ If I won, or had treat cups to use, I think I would go crazy. Would maybe umm ... oh goodness. OH! I would make my cream cheese mints and color them in coordinating colors to the cards and for whatever occasion! Yah!
Hi Angie, I love all your cards, and those little bananas in the monkey are so good!! My kids often come home wit the mixture of candy, and I pick out all the banana ones!! LOL
Cute cards!! Love the lava girl and the monkey treat card!!
Oh yay I bought treat cups a few months ago and forgot about them. I've been so re inspired. Great cards they are all so cute.

Oh, yeah! I love Stampin' Up! but haven't tried their treat cups yet! I think I would use them to make little bubble gum machines on my cards (that I would probably fill with sour candy, rather than gum!)!
By the way, I love the way you used one for the sun (filled with runts)...perfect!
Lovely cards. I'm passing on a blog award to you. Please hop over to my blog for the details.
