This is the one I made for my teenage son. Teenage boys are so hard to make cards for! As I often do when I'm stumped, I focused on the sentiment and cut it out using Avery Elle's alphabet dies. I cut a heart out of white, coloured it with a red copic and coated it with Crystal Effects for some shine. (Also linking this up to LIM159 - Masculine)
And this is the one I made for Kate using different colours of foil cardstock. Difficult to photograph - sometimes the purple looks like pink, but very shiny and fun in real life!
2 awesome cards...2 lucky kids!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day friend!
Look at you being a good mom! I love that masculine one so much! Did he appreciate your execution, lol?
ReplyDeleteGreat Valentines perfectly fitting for your great kids, Ardy! You must be the funnest Mom!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteGreat cards again! The one for your sun is stunning! Have a good sunday, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteHad a smile at both these stunners, Ardyth ... the cool, understated and manly feel of the first ... and of the bright, fun and girlie look of the second ... both perfect for your youngsters! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI love the solid feel of the masculine card and adore the bright foil hearts on the second card.
ReplyDeleteawesome valentines!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Valentines - appropriately manly and girly as needed :)
ReplyDeleteThose foil hearts are to die for and the absolutely perfect lining up of all those letters - stunning. I hope your kids save those cards.
ReplyDeleteLove them both...so fun!
ReplyDeleteBOTH Valentine's are FABULOUS, Ardyth! LOVE the super clean letter design and single heart on the first. Cool circles w/hearts design and the foil looks terrific. LOVE both cards. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know this is the first year I thought to give my kids a valentine?! I don't know what's wrong with me!! Never too late to start, they loved 'em, as I'm sure yours did. Such a fan of your b&w texty graphic card and the broken up word.
ReplyDeleteJust brilliant Ardyth. I particularly like the graphic simplicity of the first. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteThese rock! Love the shiny red apostrophe and that foil paper is so cool!
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazing at lining up perfectly! Up, down, left, right -- killer cards~
ReplyDeleteTwo more AMAZING cards!!! Your kids (and their friends!) must think that you are THE coolest mom ever!!!
ReplyDeleteBold B & W letters with just a wee schmick of 'love'....perfect young fella card!
The foil paper on Kate's card is striking! Popping the sentiment between the rows of hearts - LOVE IT!!!
Both so different, both so awesome.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are great, but I really like the one for your son - stunning!
ReplyDeleteLove both of these, Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally in love with BOTH of these cards! Just brilliant!
ReplyDeleteBoys are hard enough to make cards for, let alone cards about love but you've nailed it! I love the shiny foils too - I'd love to see that in real life! :)
ReplyDeleteWelol, you are sure ending Valentines season with a bang. These are all terrific--especially the one for your teen aged son.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you use shine to highlight elements Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteThe heart looks fab and both cards are gorgeous!
Thanks so much
