I started this weekend pulling some supplies for Galentine's/Valentine cards. I keep them pretty simple and will just pull about any heart stuff I have that doesn't get much of a workout the rest of the year. I have 3 stamps, a punch, a die and a stencil. I'll mix it up on some standard size cards, but might make a couple slimline because they are fun and I have the cheap envelopes from the dollar store. Plan is to mail them Wednesday/Thursday (8th/9th) but I'll do a day earlier if I can. I don't really scrap Valentine's day, but we try and make a nice dinner at home so maybe take some pics of DH cooking! (A once a year activity for him, lol) Trying to think of my Valentine's Day menu...maybe just fancy apps? Edited to add, I am looking forward to February's SheetLoad of Cards... azcrafty , looking forward to seeing what you do, I am always inspired by it!

I'm in a couple of V-day card swaps so I will for sure be making at least 2 cards. When I started looking for things to use in the cards, I realized I pretty much have nothing Valentine's day themed except for my SCT sampler kits so at least I have those.

I’m participating in two swaps, one here and one on IG. I want to make for 3 “real life” friends, too. Cards are made, envelopes, too. Just waiting on the new “love” stamps pre-ordered from USPS to be sent. It seems that are behind schedule in releasing them?

I did the Hero Arts Valentines stamp along. I enjoyed it but I’m not sure they are cards I would send to my girlfriends. I realized I need more of a playful “love ya” sentiment rather than just love or love you. Since I have all my Valentines theme supplies out I’m going to trysts make it work. Night Owl That Lawn Fawn heart is perfect!

I made cards for ds' class exchange, am making cards for the 2 peas swap and then will make cards for family and friends.
We don't do much now that the kids are older. Dh and I get each other a card and the kids get a little something from us.

I'm participating in the V-Day swap here so I made 24 cards for that plus about 10 extras for friends and family. Ryann I am also waiting for the new USPS Love stamps. Their site said they would be released 1/19 so I would have thought they'd be here by now (I preordered)...they are so cute though!!

Haha...no pressure. I'm still working on the cards and not sure how they'll come out. I don't love them as of now....so I might have to scrap these and start over.
I have to remember to check on the other board for the holiday card swaps.
