Today's post is all about making Valentine's Day Cards!
The cards that I will be showing you today are created using handmade paper rosettes and stick pins! All supplies and papers are from my stash! I am participating in a challenge to use my papercrafting stash for as long as possible. I haven't bought new paper or embellishments since October 2012. I may have to buy some adhesives soon!
This card measures 5 inches x 7 inches.
The handmade rosettes are created using a strip of paper and the Martha Stewart Score Board.

The card measures 5 inches x 7 inches.
The stick pins are created using corsage pins and various beads. For complete instructions on creating the stick pins, please visit here...
The card measures 4 inches x 5 1/2 inches.
For the stick pins on these cards, I changed the glue to Glossy Accents. The glue holds the beads quicker and dries clearer than Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive. After adding the beads, toppers, spacers, and glue, I put the completed stick pin upside-down in a small plastic container that I found at a yard sale. This allows the glue to dry and the pin is then ready to be added to the card. The plastic container has 'Avon' printed on the bottom, but I do not know what it was used for originally.
Rosette and little bit of twine!

Heart-shaped paper doilies are just the right touch for Valentine's Day cards! Add a stick pin, some ribbon, and patterend paper..and there you have it!!
