To enter for a chance to win one of two $20 gift certificates from DeNami, post a comment on any or every entry. Please make my blog one of the places you comment :) The more comments you post, the more chances you have to win. DeNami just released about 50 new stamps so it would be easy (soooo easy) to spend that gift certificate.

I fear I may regret my choice of a Valentine's day card if the February blog hop has a Valentine's theme, but I've jumped into the Valentine's craft supplies. That darned Martha Stewart's display in Michael's always gets me in trouble every time :) Oh well, I'm not going to have a problem making more Valentine's cards. As far as scallops go, I pulled out punches, stamps, ribbon, embellishments, ..... you get the idea.
The base of the card is Bazzill red textured paper. I stamped love and the small heart pair with Versamark ink in rows across a pink layer of Bazzill paper then topped it with ruby red glitter. (No matter how hard I try, I always have stray glitter. It's probably on my face as I type. Pardon the stray pieces and think of it as extra love.)
Across the bottom I used Clear Snap Design Adhesives scalloped row. I love this stuff:
it can be topped with embossing powder, glitter, beads, flocking, etc. Here I used the same glitter as the Versamark images. Actually, the glitter decided that for me.

The card is topped with a scalloped punched oval of red and plain oval of white with 'love you' from the assorted greeting set in black ink. Then I added some heart shaped rhinestones from Recollections.

While the second card is not my entry, I'm sharing a Christmas present thank you card I made which also has scallops and a DeNami stamp. The base is an A Muse snowflake card, with a band of blue paper cut with a scallop punch and topped with a felt snowflake ribbon (that Martha again). The phrase is from the same assorted greetings set as 'love you'.
Snowflakes and hearts, all over my workspace. Happy January. The next stop in the hop is Ruza Rebel's blog. Enjoy.
