Sweet Monsters Valentine's Day cards and treats / Tarjetitas de San Valentín con tema de Dulces Monstruos


Hello everyone !!! ... And yes, I know Valentine's Day was yesterday :) Still, the design and techniques used to make this cards and goodie bags, can be used on any occasion cards.
I designed the card so that it could be attractive and fun for any 3 to 4 year old. That is why I didn't cover the cute little monster with an envelope. As soon as they got this card in their hands, they wanted to open it and see the rest of the creature with the big googly eyes.
I designed the card on my Gypsy .

*¡Hola! Aunque el Día de San Valentín fué ayer, quise mostrarles este proyecto porque las técnicas y el diseño usados sirven para tarjetas de cualquier ocasión. Las diseñé para que fueran atractivas para niñitos de 3 a 4 años. Por eso, no quise cubrirlas con un sobre y desperté su curiosidad de querer descubrír, como era esa criatura con esos ojos tan grandes. Usé mi máquina Gypsy para diseñarla.
RECIPE:

Cut base card and stamp image: *corte la tarjeta base y estampe el diseño:

Turn card over and stamp sentiment: *vire la tarjeta y estampe la frase:

Cut the slit that will hold the "front" of the card: *Corte la pestaña que sujetará el frente de la tarjeta:

Color stamped image and add googly eyes: *coloree la imagen y añada los ojos plásticos:










These are the cards with the "tube" treat bags for my grandson's Day Care. The "puzzle" shaped toppers were made with the Don Juan Cricut cartridge. * Estas son las tarjetas terminadas con las bolsitas de dulces. La forma de rompecabezas fue hecha con el cartucho de Cricut: Don Juan.

Valentine's Day Card for my soldier (son).- Unity Stamps


Hi!!! Valentine's Day is almost her and so is my son's ARMY Basic Combat Training graduation. I will be flying to South Carolina in mid February to spend some fun time with him, even if it is for  just 2 days. :) Making cards for a military boy is kind of a challenge for me, because I have to refrain myself from adding embellishments and dimension . Oh well ....

Recipe:
Unity Stamp Company: Sending My Love stamp set
Martha Stewart markers
Adirondack ink pad: pitch black
Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page: Heart Chain


  • Stamp image and color in.
    • NOTE: When I was "blending" the blue shadow effect around the image with the Martha Stewart blender, the marker was almost dry. It damaged the paper a little bit but, it gave the card a needed texture LOL.

  • Cut out the "envelope" and place on the opening of the mailbox.
  • Cut and mat the image.
