Valentine Sweet Shoppe

Did you know Poppystamps has a monthly challenge? We love seeing what you're making and if you link up a design from any on line gallery, blog, or Instagram, you're automatically entered for the monthly $20 giveaway!

This month we're looking for something sweet! That could be taken literally - like cake or other treats, or it could be a sweet gesture - making a thank you or a card with a thoughtful gesture! It could even be a Valentine!

Today's card features the Corner Shoppe Pop Up Easel Die. It's easy to customize the store front by switching up the colors and adding different images in the windows. For my "something sweet" it's a bakery with cupcakes from the Corner Shoppe Dessert Stand in the window!

I cut the awning in shades of pink and white and added little hearts cut from the Heartfelt Pinpoint Frame A2 die. I always try to get more from my dies, and if you have a die with yummy negative cutouts don't throw them out! I save them in a little envelope and tuck it into the sleeve that holds the die!

I love the little Nordic Sweet Elf and this guy is not getting put away because the holidays are over. Simply by switching out his outfit color, he's transformed into a Valentine Elf! I added a little color to his cheeks with an alcohol marker.

A sentiment is stamped directly inside the card so when it's displayed everyone can read the message!

I sure hope you find some time to play along this month! You can always find the latest challenge by clicking on the badge in the top right corner of the Poppystamps blog! Hugs and have a great day!
