Of course, it doesn't hurt to use red and white for Valentines. This card was created because I wanted to use up a scrap piece of black and white pattern paper. I took a black piece of cardstock to make the upper half of this hand made card, punched out several hearts for embellishments and added sparkly red ribbon.
For this Valentine's day card, I used the same pattern paper as above but added scallop border layers along the bottom.
To add shimmer, I glued red glitter on a free heart clip art I found on Microsoft's website.
Again taking the same black and white print, I made a small Happy New Year card.

I punched out the sentiment with my scallop circle punch, added silver ribbon and a sparkly red brad. I love the dainty red trim which gives this homemade card character.
You can also find free birthday card clip art on Microsoft's website.
I decorated the cake with adhesive gems, glitter and painted the candles gold.
Add a Happy Birthday sentiment and you're all set.
