I've started a little countdown to Valentines Day. Remember the mailboxes I bought a couple of weeks ago, well I haven't decorated them yet (picture a sad face), but I am still going to use the mailboxes for the little *treatsters* I'll have waiting for the girls, when they get home form school. Basically, I'll be making the same postage stamp style card for all of my valentines.

Aren't they cute!! I added some stickles, doodling, and I used my
Everyday Character Faces by Peachy Keen Stamps. It was my first time
ever using the face stamps, and I really like how they turned out. |

I cut the same size white layer for the backside
to write a personal message. The card base is from the
Birthday Card cartridge. I simply cut the card in half.

Peachy Keen stamps are easy to use, there are just a few tips to follow to help achieve a clean stamped image. The stamps do come with recommendations on the packaging, which makes it easy. I used Momento black ink, so the white Signo pen wouldn't smudge my face image. Light pressure when inking and stamping is also recommended. I used a black Micron pen to *fix* any area that I may have covered with the white Signo pen, while coloring in the eyes white. The pens, stamps, and stamp pads can all be found on the Peachy Keen website. Honestly, I am super excited to use these stamps on all of my projects, they really increased the *cute factor*. :)
Make it a great one!!
These are super cute! Love the sentiment! :)
