Valentines Day Cards

Amanda had the last week and a half off for Christmas Break, and was able to get her creative mojo going again. I haven't had a chance to get into my craft room to play since Thanksgiving. So I am more than over due for some quality stamping time. With all of the wonderful new stamp sets coming out in the new Occassions mini catalog on Tuesday, and the one's we currently have in the big catalog, I decided to concentrate on all Valentine's day cards. Over the next few days I will post them all. I hope you like them.

How about sending a card like this to the little ghouls and goblins on your list. I love the Sweet Treat Cups. Use your imagination and fill them with whatever you like. Of course I used Candy Corn, because it's traditional for Halloween. My husband’s favorite candy! When you slide out the message you can retrieve your treat from the inside of the card!
