Valentine's Day Hearts

Hello again! I hope you are warm and surviving this crazy winter weather. Let's switch our thoughts to Valentine month with a Pick Two for our next challenge #306 at Time Out! You can choose from these timely words:

Sparkle, Red, Heart, Pink, Aperture, Twine


I am using a new-to-me product from The Greetery that I have admired for a very long time. This Mini Boxwood Heart stamp and die set creates beautiful leafy wreaths with multiple colors using a two-step stamping effect. The die perfectly cuts around the leaves and cuts out an opening in the center. I stamped the accompanying sentiments on the center cut outs then stacked three wreaths high for each heart and replaced the center piece so it is recessed in there. I chose the words sparkle, red, heart, aperture.












I popped up the center heart on thick foam squares and backed it with sparkly gold embroidery thread. Last, I sprinkled a few pearls around it in order to focus on the "love you" sentiment. It's a dainty little card and is mini slimline size.

Our wonderful sponsor, Lawn Fawn, is generously offering a $25.00 store credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also get an invitation to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.




We are joined by Jenn Borjeson of StampinAngelJenn, and winner of Time Out #301 as Guest Designer. Stop by her blog as well as those of the team for all the details on their makes.


Come play along with these fun words right before Valentine's Day. The gallery is going to be festive and pretty!

Thanks for visiting!

I so love this card, Carol. the design is so simple and those Boxwood Hearts really leant themselves to a slimline. I love the detail of the sparkly cord and the pearls are perfectly placed. I love that there are 3 sentiments with "love you" taking center stage. Great card for our Pick 2!

Those heart wreaths are very eye catching, Carol, and frame the sentiment beautifully.

Carol, I remember those little wreaths from the Greetery and you used them perfectly. The repetition of three hearts and three messages is fabulous. Love it
