Valentine Milkshake

Oo, check out our LOVE inspiration board at this round's Hand Stamped Sentiments #406!
Since our board is so super sweet, I decided I wanted my card to be, too, lol.  That hot pink drink in the bottom corner reminded me of our awesome new Share a Milkshake set, so I went to work on that!  A Petal Pink background from Dandy Designs started me off, and then I built my milkshake in all things pink, with pops of red from the cherry and hearts.  I think my teeth will start hurting any time now, lol.
I can't wait to see your "love" projects this round - meet you at the challenge!

Aw, here's a sweet one - Time Out Challenges #229 wants to get romantic!
I decided to take a humorous route and pulled out my Tech Support set - I don't use it enough!  It has this little search window of "romantic" searches, so I ran with it!  I did some random keys in the background, with some emoticon hearts, and floated my sentiment over all that.  A few tiny Resin Hearts finish things off!  I think it's geekie-cute, lol.

OK, this has to be the very last Valentine's this year, lol.  I can JUST sneak in to In{k}spire Me #471's day of love special!
Going through my stack of new-but-un-inked stamps, I shockingly still have not yet played with my Hello Ladybug set!  This cutie also has a coordinating Ladybug Builder Punch, perfect for both stamped or cardstock ladybugs!  I went with the cardstock today, though I did stamp on her cute black spots, lol.  I still have enough of favorite sheet of DSP from the Sweet Talk pack, too - yes!  I added a little Valentine's sentiment to the inside, so there's no mistake, lol...

Hm, Cupcake Inspiration #537 wants us to think Valentine's Hearts this week!  Gladly!
I thought I'd be done with Valentine's by now, but alas, there's still a couple MORE challenges I want to hit besides this one, lol.  For today's inspiration, I started looking at the picture itself like kind of like a sketch - my attention was really caught by that pink background, the combo of pinks, and the various patterns - stripes AND dots.  I figured I'd just pop all that in the blender and see what happened, and this is the result!  I did a little torn-edge DSP for my background, and pulled out my Stitched Be Mine dies again for the cute heart, which I also embossed.  For a little "pink relief" I heat-embossed the sentiment on black - I should do that more often!

Ah, I think I can JUST squeak into this week's Festive Friday #102 - a celebration of Valentine's Day!
It turns out I do have another Valentine's card in me after all, I couldn't resist when I spotted this punny phrase in my newly arrived Brave Vikings set!  Doesn't he look cutie pie in his pink and red??  I laughed the whole time I was making this one, lol.  So I pulled out red, pink, sparkle, "romantic" sentiment, lol, hearts and CUTE for this one.  So glad I caved and got this one!  I think this might be hubby's card this year, lol.

Heart Beets For You

OK, there's a punny cue over at Shopping Our Stash #463 that I have to get in on!  "My heart BEETS for you!"  Lol, it's like they know me!
This gave me another perfect chance to pull out our new Eclectic Garden set - this little bundle of root veggies is getting a workout, lol.  However, I was able to make up my sentiment with my beloved Labeler Alphabet (score for the stash!) and I had this fun stitched heart from last year's Stitched Be Mine dies.  I crack up every time I look at this cornball card, lol...

OK, by the mysterious workings of the 2022 calendar, I have a confluence of challenges today, lol.  First up, we have Sparkles Christmas Challenge #133, and we want to see you bring on the gold!
I wasn't sure how I would do this, so on a hunch, I dug through some retired DSP - bingo!  This background sheet from Blackberry Beauty dazzled me!  I decided it would be awesome to match it with our just retired Great Tidings, and gold heat-emboss my three wise men - love it!  I did one each on Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry and Early Espresso, and in person they really pop!  I tried to give them a neutral wash behind by floating a circle of vellum, too, great effect in person, sigh...  At the last second, a few Gilded Gems finished it!

NEXT, I have a combo!  At SU Only #294, we'd like to see something for Valentine's, which pairs perfectly with our "love" theme at Retro Rubber #175 - yay!
My fave Valentine's set of all time is STILL PS I Love You, from 2012.  This heart stamp, made up of tiny hearts, is just so beautiful, and I have kept my Full Heart and Modern Labels punches just for this set, lol.  I did three of these "hearts of hearts" in shades of pink, and layered everything over a sheet of our AB Simply Marbelous paper in Flirty Flamingo.  A few extra black accents and it's set for hubby - my forever Valentine!

Woo hoo!  Fusion is finally back, with a New Year's sketch combo for us!
Well, since I'm so far along in January, I feel pretty done with New Year's, so I'm sticking to just the sketch this round.  And what a great chance to play with Sweet Conversations, our new Valentine's set!  I actually don't get a new Valentine's suite every year, more like every 4 or 5, lo,, but when I saw this DSP, I was smit!  Couldn't resist, or at least, I didn't resist very hard!  This cute set comes with dies, of course, and there are even some new gems to play with, but I found this pack of hearts in the bottom of my embellie bow - oops!

I'm loving all our details at this week's sketch for Try Stampin' on Tuesday #537!  What a perfect chance to throw in our "designer's choice" challenge at SU Only #292, too!
OK, I'm making a serious break with Christmas mode today, lol!  I just couldn't wait to play with my new "fun" set, Nuts & Bolts!  Can you believe that I didn't have any robots before now?  And check out the cute DSP!  I actually got our new Valentine's suite this year, too, the Sweet Conversations bundle!  The paper is just as cute with some romantic robots, too, lol.
I hope you can join in the fun - see you at the challenges!

Well, this worked out perfectly!  Today's card is for In{k}spire Me #442's Valentine's Special - yay!
I couldn't help but go back and pull out my old set Valentine Defined, from 2011, for this one - the challenge graphic reminded me so much of the little vines in the set!  I combined the stamp set with a couple items that have come along since their time - I love doing that!  First I did a nice de-bossed side of my Happy Hearts embossing folder, and then I paired the stamps with our Rectangular Postage punch.  The titles sentiment JUST fit, perfectly!  I arranged everything fairly loosely, and finished with a few rhinestone - quick and fun!
