Valentine



Happy Valentine's Day!  Hope you have a wonderful day. So here is my card for DH - double celebration for us as it's 30 years today since we got engaged. Card is quite plain and simple but I'm pleased with how it turned out.



I used an 8x8 scalloped card blank, then embossed white card with the Cuttlebug love hearts folder. I'm getting better at extending with the embossing folder now - this piece is about 7.5 inches across.. I then punched across the bottom of the white embossed piece with my Martha Stewart Lace Heart Edge punch. I made two further strips of hearts and positioned them underneath. Finished off with a Memory Box La Rue Heart backed with red card which I cut myself by drawing around the die. Add a red bow from stash box and done. No gems on this one.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Crafty Creations Challenge 209 - Love and/Hearts
Papertake Weekly - Hearts & Flowers
Allsorts Challenge 193 - Valentines
Craft Your Passion challenge 149 - My Valentine



Thanks for looking!

    This is gorgeous Louise, I'm loving the CAS look at the moment. Well done on extending the embossing, never been successful myself, I always get a crease . Yours looks perfect.

    Love the simplicity of this card. The embossing and die cutting adds so much texture and interest. The ribbon is gorgeous. My favourite element is that heart. Thanks for joining our My Valentine Challenge at Craft Your Passion. I hope we see you again soon.
