I have two more valentines to share today, and some more for another post tomorrow. Today's cards use the positive and negatives of the same die. The first card was inspired by Dawn McVey's card during Papertrey Ink's December release.
I used My Favorite Things nested heart dies to cut hearts from Pure Poppy (my favorite PTI color,) Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Pink, and Lovely Lady. Then I layered the hearts, one on the other, using dimensional tape. I love the way it came out. The sentiment is from the Hero Art's January kit which I embossed in white on a strip of black cardstock.
When I finished the card, I had three hearts laying on my desk, and wanted to make a valentine for the sixth grader I tutor twice a week.
Once again, I used my favorite Pure Poppy for the card base and the largest and smallest of the hearts. The white panel was created with an old Cuttlebug embossing folder on Fresh Snow Linen cardstock which was also lying on my desk from a previous project. This was definitely the quickest of the valentines I made. The sentiment is from an oldie but goodie: Papertrey Inks "Tiny Treats: Valentine."
I layered these hearts with dimensional tape as well.
I'm entering these at Papertrey Ink's new Win It Wednesday challenge. Laura Schmidlin is hosting a "favorite" there. Last week it was a favorite stamp; this week it's your favorite color of cardstock. Pure Poppy wins hands-down!
I'm joining The Card Concept "Love is in the Air" as well.
If you celebrate Valentine's Day, I hope it's a good one. We went out to dinner to celebrate on Saturday night. We had a fabulous meal at one of the best Italian restaurants in town. I was chair of the planning committee that hosted a Presbytery-wide conference on Saturday. We had over 200 people register, and most of them attended. We decided celebrating Valentine's Day early had a double advantage. I was definitely not interested in cooking that night, and Valentine's Day can be crazy at a restaurant. We're having meatloaf at home tonight---one of Tracy's favorites.
