Catherine has some wonderful inspiration for you today! Her beautiful card lights up with lots of love!


Catherine started by stenciling bricks with pretty pink ink. She used an Outside In Stitched Heart to cut the window. To create this fun scene, she layered Heart Garden Border with Ocean Wave Borders and a dotted Valentine border. Then she added the cute Crazy Antics mice on the Flamingo Floatie! Just perfect!


Catherine layered Giant Outlined Love Ya on a Pearlescent Vellum Lacy Heart, using this to hide the EZ Lights behind. She added the Push Here “button” so the recipient will know how to light up this interactive design.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing inspiration, Catherine!

Mimi‘s Lots of Heart card gives us an idea of where the term “busy as a beaver” comes from! There’s lots of activity with these Wood You Be Mine beavers! They are busy sending a sweet and punny Valentine message!

Mimi started with a Watercolor Wishes Rainbow background. Then she added a Heart Garden Border along the bottom and another one (minus the heart flowers) on the top. She used the Knit Picky Winter Itchy Sweater green paper for the grass and Lost Mitten pink for the Heart Garland Backdrop: Landscape!

She got really clever and used masking to create the gnawed bit in this log. She found a cupcake with a bite in the Birthday Before ‘n Afters set and masked everything but the toothy bite. Then she masked the bite and stamped the log over the top.

Mimi also masked the heart in the image of the two beavers before stamping them. Then she masked the beavers to stamp the chewed logs. The “I chews you” sentiment is so perfect with this unique scene!

Thanks so much for inspiring us today, Mimi! This card is so creative and fun!
