More fun with Gina's Designs and The Robin's Nest from Kathi and Kim

We have two Valentine projects up today, as our January cross-promotional with The Robin's Nest continues. First up we have a layout called "Too Cute" by Kathi.

Hi!, Kathi here to share a simple yet elegant layout using paper from The Robin's Nest Wild About U collection, and two of the new home decor items from Gina's Designs created especially for Valentine's Day projects. I chose to decorate my project with the "Valentine Stripe"paper which I flipped to the solid side and then added a 11/2 inch punched border at the bottom using the striped side.

I added Prima flowers and used the sticker sheet from The Robin's Nest for the names.

Next up we have Kim to share more Valentine's Day fun!

Hi Everyone, Kim here! I hope you are all ready for Valentines Day! Today I'm sharing a card I have created in a masculine style that's perfect for the man in your life.

This is going to be given to my husband, who loves gadgets and tools. I had a lot of fun creating it using the Robin's Nest Wild about U Paper and some wonderful Steampunk goodies from Gina's Designs.

Here you can see I have layered one of the Steampunk doilies with one of the new Steampunk hearts and then placed one of the clock keys from the Steampunk 2 Shape Set on top. In the corner I placed the light bulb from the same set which I embossed, and then I placed a heart from the Valentine Shape Set inside the bulb.

I have spelled out "Me & You" with wooden letters from my stash and put the ampersand in one of Gina's Gears from the Gear Shape Set. I used a metal clip at the top, attached a chain and added some fun tool charms from my stash to complete the front of the card.

Inside the card I placed a large journaling label from The Robin's Nest and cut out some fun heart shapes with my heart punch, using more paper from the Wild about U collection.
