Look at These Darling Valentine Cards for the Troops!

Hello everyone! I promised you I would be back today with more Valentine's Card ideas!

 

I'm making these for the From Our Hearts organization. If you've a blog follower, you probably already know about my Valentine Card Challenge for the Troops. Click HERE to read my original post from earlier this week.

 

Let's flood the From Our Hearts mailbox with TONS of Valentine Cards for our service men and women!

Now, for today's card! Aren't these darling. And they don't take long at all to make. I made 40 of them in less than 2 hours! I used a variety of ink colors -- Cherry Cobbler, Regal Rose, Real Red, Blushing Bride and Pretty in Pink, and mixed-and-matched and ribbon colors as well. The stamp sets are Seasonal Sentiments, Confetti and I {Heart} Hearts. The embossing is done with the Big Shot and the Elegant Bouquet Impressions Folder. The ribbons are 5/8" Satin. I stamped the colored images on the Whisper White Cardstock front and then embossed and Stamp the sentiment on a Cardstock Vellum overlay. It's such a pretty and soft look ... and perfect for Valentine's Day!

I do hope you will accept the challenge that I've issued. We would love to see the Valentine Cards that you send to our overseas military personnel through From Our Hearts! What a gift to give -- thank you!

Hi Gretchen - 30 cards and envelopes (in ClearBags) going out Priority Mail on Monday, from me. Luckily I had that many good cards in my "stash" - so off they go! Thanks for the challenge and all YOU do to help this effort. I ship Martie 3-4 big boxes a year . . . but they're "everything" mixed, so it's good to know when she's short on a particular holiday!
