Valentine ATC to Card

 Coffee of the Day - Vanilla Hazelnut coffee

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well. :)

Today I am sharing several ATC cards that I made and then converted into full size cards for mailing. 

Each month Gecko Galz has several challenges where they supply the images to be used. I am using the sheet provided for the ATC challenge. I used to make these every once in a while and really enjoyed it.

I didn't use the papers provided on the sheet because they printed so very dark. my printer doesn't always handle shades of red well. The bases are from 49 and Market. I've also added pieces of doilies to each ATC, because to me, every Valentine needs a doily. :)

the ATC cards were then turned into standard size cards for mailing using papers from Stamperia and Pink Monarch Prints. various embellishments such as tickets, glittered tulle, postage stamps, and even part of a wine label complete the cards. I did use a wink of Stella glitter pen to accent several of the images. 

I got such a kick out of the sentiments on this sheet because they immediately reminded me of my mother-in-law. Several times a week she boards a bus with her friends from the assisted living facility where she lives and they head to happy hour. They do so love their wine! :D I think she'll enjoy her Valentine!

have a most amazing day and thank you for stopping by! :)

Happy Tuesday to all of you!

This week, I'll be sharing some of the Valentine cards I've made for family.

October 2025

To begin, this is a card I have made for my precious aunt. She is such a dear, sweet person. David and I were able to visit her in Texas last October. She put together a huge family reunion since it had been almost 30 years since we had seen most of the family. It was amazing to see everyone again. Ryan, Elizabeth, and their baby, Benaiah, joined us for a week. pure joy! We were also able to visit my dad's gravesite, which meant so much to me. 

The beautiful angel image was provided by Gecko Galz for their monthly card challenge. papers added are from Stamperia. a pink doily and piece of crochet trim complete the card. I was trying to keep the it as flat as possible for mailing.

I'm trying out a new tripod for my phone in hopes that the pictures are better. please bear with me as I learn to use it. ;)

Thank you for stopping by!
