See Ya Later in three minutes

Are you ready for Valentine's Day tomorrow? Well, I know what you mean! But hopefully today's quick card for my Three Minute Thursday slot will help you out - and there's even a video for those that prefer to see a card actually being made! Come and have a look:

I used designer paper and one of the fabulous images from the See Ya Later stamp set that you can get free as part of Stampin' Up's Sale-a-bration promotion. There aren't too many frills on this card and I've been assured by my Quality Control department (my husband) that it's perfect for a man. But of course, now he's seen it, I can't give it to him can I?!

To get my multi-coloured image quickly, I inked the stamp up with Crumb Cake ink and then used a Real Red marker to go over the 'someone' before huffing on it and stamping. Adding the red over the Crumb Cake does darken the red very slightly but that just makes the punched heart really stand out!

Here's the video or, as my children like to call it, Crafting Clare - Da Movie!



This card is made with a bunch of snippets so I shall be linking up with the Snippets Playground. That's the second time this week - but the truth is I'm fascinated about the building of the ark which, under the instructions of a foreduck, will be used as an umbrella I understand... have I got that right?!

'This is a Man's World' is the theme over at Crafty Cardmakers, so I'll link up there too, and also at The Male Room where the challenge is Valentine.

The sentiment on this card is such a lovely, romantic one isn't it? Perfect for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, engagements and weddings... unless, of course, you write: "But it's quite tricky to get an appointment with George Clooney" inside!

See you tomorrow,
