Crafty Times: Valentine Cards

Crafty Times is a new thing I am trying on the blog where I can share some of the art and crafts I have created (you can too of course). I really dabble in a wide variety of crafts and hope you can find something that sparks your interest or inspires you!
 
 
It has been a while since I posted a crafty times post, well it has actually been a while since I have crafted at all. I have mostly just been catching up in life and trying to get organized, but I did take  little time a couple of weeks ago to make a couple of Valentine cards. I am definitely a little rusty and need to work on finding the right adhesives for the right things but that will come them more I work with my card making.
 
 
This was the first one I made and the first time I have tried to glue sequins on, they are much harder to work with than I expected.

This one was inspired by a picture I saw, I loved the color combo of pale pink with wood grain. I feel like this needs a little bit of something more but again I need more practice.

This was one that came out pretty much exactly how I planned (though I wish I had popped up the sentiment some how). I also need more practice coloring with the copic markers, everyone makes it look so easy in the videos!
 
 
 
I have been really working on getting my supplies organized and hope to be able to sit down a little more often to create more cards.

    1. Thanks Jenny, I really like that one as well and might try to use the color combo again in different ways.

  2. Fun! My favorite is the raining one. I love how you try different products and things. You are very brave. I love the texts used! Do you free hand all that?

    1. I came up with that one and had to go make it immediately, I am glad it turned out the way I wanted it to. I am really trying to learn as much as I can with all the supplies I have so I can use them and figure out which ones to continue to keep on hand and which I don't like working with as much. The texts are all either stamps or die cuts, as you know my handwriting is awful!
