Hi! Thank you so much for popping over to my blog! Today I am sharing some valentine cards I created this week for my family. These cards were inspired by a wonderful tutorial I saw on a blog by Lisa Mensing you can check out the tutorial HERE. I have really been enjoying her tutorials. She does a wonderful job showing and sharing things step by step!
I loved piecing scraps of paper together and they really came together quickly!
To create these cards I first raided my bucket of scraps I have been collecting FOREVER. I cut many of these scraps into 1/4 inch strips. Next I put double stick adhesive on some basic white cardstock and ran that through my Cuttlebug machine using a variety of sized hearts from the Hero Arts Nesting Heart Infinity Dies. Next peel back the 2nd side of your adhesive and then I started piecing strips of paper across the hearts. Once all the pieces were laid I ran the hearts through my Cuttblebug a 2nd time to trim the edges smoothly.
For this card I added a happy valentine’s day sentiment from Lawn Fawn.
This card I used dies fro My Creative Time called You Dies #2
For this card I continued using scraps from my stash. I then used the Picket Fence Studio Circle Stencil (2.5 I think) and on top of that layered a chevron stencil that I believe came from Craftin Desert Diva’s. to add the fun circle to frame the hearts.
Last but not lease I created a card of many hearts. To add accent and interest I added a stitched X border from Lawn Fawn.
I am entering several of these cards into the Simon Says Stamp Wed. Challenge: Two Or More Patterned papers.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog! I hope you have a wonderful day!
