Thread: My Bloody Valentine 2012

Tweet

I was just wondering if we are exchanging Valentines this year? Is it too early to start the sign up? Is there one started already? I looked but couldn't find one.

EDIT: never mind...

hey,,, JW,, sounds good,, I was just thinking of it,,, need to get the cards to make,,,,,forgot and missed a sale last week at Michaels, dang, remembered when I saw this thread,,,,,, I can't wait,, hope more people see it and jump on board!!!!

Great Bethene. So if anyone wants to sign up to exchange Valentines just post on here that you want to exchange. After people have signed up you can PM each other and ask for their address. You may exchange with as many or as few people as you like. Your cards may be homemade or store bought (or both). There is no real deadline on mailing. Just try to have them there before Valentine's Day. Make sure you pay attention to who you are exchanging with. We have a lot of members from outside the U.S. (and we are glad), but remember to put the extra postage on their cards and allow a little extra time for mailing.

I'm in!! I have no clue what I'll make but I just got some new valentine digital stamps that I'm itching to color!!

Cool Mit. What are digital stamps? Sounds interesting.

Let me see if I can explain this correctly...Digital stamps are a cross between rubber or clear stamps and clip art. I buy my images and download them to my computer then I pick one, resize it and print it on cardstock then treat it like a regular stamped image. I love digi stamps cause they can be resized to whatever you need. Also you can merge multiple images together and even digitally color them using photoshop or something similar. If you want to try it out there's lots of freebies out there. I buy most of my images from Dustin Pike. He just put a freebie on his blog yesterday thats available in black in white and in color.

Do you do a lot of cardmaking or scrapbooking? I've been making cards for a little over a year now and I'm completely hooked!!

well, I know this is in a bad spot, but we usually have alot bigger turn out for the bloody valentines- wish it could go in the general Halloween section, would get more traffic,,,, after all bloody is a Halloween word in my book!! any more takers????

Last year it was in General Halloween. I wasn't sure when I first posted it. Can we get it put back in General again?

Mit, I do make a lot of cards. I make all my own cards for the Halloween card exchange, Valentine card exchange, and a Christmas Card exchange over at ChristmasFanClub. The digi-stamps sound like a great idea. Thanks for the tip.

I would think it was ok to put it in the general section, if they want it moved then they can,, but bloody sounds Halloweenish to me! lol~ so go ahead and try to stick it there!!!!!!
