Hello my dear crafty friends! I'm here today to share some sweet Valentine cards I made with the fabulous Doodlebug Lots of Love Collection! This paper collection just makes me so happy! Valentine's Day is less than a month away now and Lots of Love has everything you need to make those heart themed cards and projects.
I also need to announce that this will be my final post as a member of the Doodlebug Design Team! It's been a wonderful and lovely experience to create with you and for you over these past two years! So many projects and loads of happiness. THANK YOU DOODLEBUG! The owners of Doodlebug are absolutely the kindest and most generous people and it has been a joy to work with them! The design team is amazing and I have been honored to be a part of the global, talented team! Thank you for the love and support here as I've shared my love of Doodlebug crafting with you!! I have been a fan of Doodlebug for twenty years and I will continue to create with their fantastic products. Now let's get to some cards!
I made two Valentine cards to share today. Both cards are A2 sized white card bases. I used the Lots of Love Collection papers, stickers, embellishments and ephemera to decorate some giant cupcakes. Because cupcakes are definitely sweet! I love the color palette of aqua, pink, dark pink and red. It's perfect! The cupcake dies are from my friends at Sunny Studio and everything is listed in the supplies at the bottom of my post!
I started with a die set that makes the giant cupcake and I used 12x12 and 6x6 papers to die cut out the bottom and top of the cupcakes. I used kraft paper for the frosting portion. Then I went to town decorating the cupcakes with all kinds of smiling hearts and fruits! I die cut a white circle and attached some strawberries and a puffy heart onto it. I also added white gel pen accents and some mini jewels!
That little smiling cherry is SO cute!! I used the large 12x12 Lots of Love Sticker Sheet for the sentiments on both cards. I splattered on some white paint onto both cards also. I used patterned Doodlebug papers for the backgrounds of the cards.
He literally is the cherrry on top! I think that adding white gel pen accents and little gems to the ephemera pieces just bring them to life! That little added touch. The cupcakes were attached to the cards using foam tape for a bit of dimension.
I put a cupcake on a cupcake! LOLZ!
This reminds of of the happiest box of Valentine chocolates you could ever want!
So for over two years I made a Doodlebug project every two weeks! It's going to feel strange not doing that! So much fun being on this team. I hope you've enjoyed coming along with me on this creative journey too.... Okay! That's it for today! And, I'm out of projects to share! Hmmmmm what should I make next? I think more Valentines! I am really into it this year!! Are you busy making Valentines too? What are you working on?? Have a wonderful day!! XOXO

Well, you've done it again. Your designs from Doodlebug are always my favorite. Your color palettes are always fun and I mimic you now by two things...adding splatter and using a white gel pen for accent. Doodlebug folks will miss your creations, but I'm glad you will continue to use their cute designs and I hope show them off here. I generally make about 20 cards for each holiday for family and friends.. This year, I used lawn fawn scalloped box die and my cricut. Cape Cod, Mandy
