Festive Elephant Valentine
Hope you all had a great Christmas and holiday week. Now it's time to settle in for the winter months. It's a perfect time for cardmaking, scrapbooking and other crafting pursuits. I am onto my Valentine cards. This one I am sending off to my nice who loves elephants.
For your viewing pleasure today, I am featuring the Festive Elephant die. It's from the Christmas Part 1 release. I like taking dies intended for one season and move them to a different holiday. It allows you to get more use out of your dies that way.
Red Card Base: 7 1/2" x 4"
Red Cardstock Strip (Element 3): 1/2" x 7 1/2"

Monkey Love
Hi!
It's Anja here. I have another Valentine's Day card for you today.
For this card used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Safari Monkey, Be My Valentine Puppies, Love Phrase, Bow Mini),
- Distress Inks,
- white card base (10x21 cm),
- white and colored (red, pink, dark brown, light brown) card stock for die cuts,
- score tool,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- plastic stencil (clouds),
- brush,
- thread,
- adhesive foam pads,
- paper glue.
First I cut three sets of hearts and colored it around the edges. I scored in the middle. I cut the sentiment out of the white card stock.
Next I cut the monkey out of the brown card stock. I emphasized the edges with brown ink.
Then I cut the bow.
Last I did the background. I used a plastic stencil to make the cloudy sky.
Then I adhered the hearts and added the thread in the back. I used adhesive foam pads to adhere the heart on the card base. I also added the monkey and the bow and my card was done.
Hope you have a nice Valentine's Day. See you again next Sunday.
Anja Z.

Love Train
Hi To All My Crafty Friends!
It is Pam sharing with you on the blog today.
I don't know if you all are old enough to remember the song Love Train By the O'Jays. It was an R&B hit back in 1972! Now I am really dating myself! Anyway it is now playing in my head and that was the inpiration for this fun Valentine card.
Design Steps:
1. Using the Circus Train die cut out the pieces on silver, white and black card stock. The little window and headlight I cut in white then colored with an C1 copic marker. Next use the Be My Valentine Puppy die and cut out the pink and red hearts several times. Turn the cage car over and glue down the hearts, add hearts to the wheels and car tops as shown2. For the base use a white A2 card, heart DP 4 x 5 1/4 and cut a white retangle using the second from the largest Stitched Scallop Rectangle die3. Glue the heart paper to the white card base then center and glue down the rectangle
