valentines day: card ideas

already february--what?! somehow valentine's day always sneaks up on me, so this year, i'm collecting my valentines day ideas early!! i'll be posting a few v-day related posts (sorry if your anti-valentines, but i can't help it, it does have my all time favorite candy- *cough* sweethearts *cough*)
anyhow, our first post...valentine card ideas! plus one really pretty book idea.

first, shimelle with these really pretty envelopes. i never really thought about adding embellishments to the envelopes...good idea.

then, the creative cards of kristina werner. i recently discovered her blog, and i was instantly hooked. she makes some of the most gorgeous cards! i especially love her beautiful handwriting...so jealous!

and now, for that someone special who needs more than just a card...heidi swapp made this beautiful valentines book in a box. genius, and super pretty!! i have that stencil she used on the cover, but haven't used it yet, and this makes me want to create with it now!

 

i hope you found these projects inspiring to start your own valentines.
xoxo,
