Penny Black Simplicity – Love Balloons

Today, I’m sharing a Valentine’s card created with two Penny Black dies – 51-052 texting and 51-004 uplifting.

I cut various shades of pink and red cardstock with the heart die from the 51-004 uplifting set. I cut white cardstock with the love die, in the 51-052 texting set, twice. I attached white thread to the back of the heart die cuts with double-sided tape, leaving the covering on the top until I had the die cuts laid out on the panel in the desired design. Hearts on the top of a cluster were attached with dimensional adhesive for depth. When the hearts had been attached, I gathered the thread and bundled them with another thread. I glued the bundle together with Glossy Accents. Once dry, I attached the love sentiment over the knot and thread bundle.

 

Colour Me Striking

Today, I’m playing along with the Colour Me Challenge.

Even though the color scheme feels “Fourth of July” (or any other patriotic holiday) I thought it would be fun for a Valentine’s Day card. With one of the punny sentiments from Reverse Confetti Sugary Sweet Sentiments set as my starting point, I cut two suckers with my Silhouette and decorated them with hearts cut from Love Note, keeping in the color scheme.

The bow was cut using a die in the Tagged Tote Confetti Cuts set.

ColourQ #275

I’m playing along with ColourQ #275 with a Reverse Confetti sentiment stamp and RC Confetti Cuts.

I really like stretching my color preferences with these challenges. The navy and pink combination feels preppy to me (Lily Pulitzer), and it was those two colors I wanted to use most on the card.

I added accents of the Wisteria Wonder with the hearts and the tag circle. I cut the hearts by first cutting five hearts with the Love Note die, then putting three hearts into the die and cutting again, which cleanly cut off two of the hearts. The arrow was cut in half and taped to the back of the tag.

The card measures 4 1/4″ square.

Reverse Confetti Love Note

Today I’m sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card combining Reverse Confetti die cuts and sentiment.

Using the Love Note Confetti Cuts set, I cut the heart strings in four different colors, two times each. I adhered the same-colored hearts together with 2-way glue and added them to the rounded rectangle cut with Documented, on which I’d stamped the sentiment from Crushin’. I adhered the rounded rectangle to a white card base.

Penny Black Simplicity – Tree of Love

Penny Black has recently released fabulous dies perfect for Valentine’s Day creations. I created a card with 51-100 Tree of Love as the centerpiece.

I cut the Tree of Love out of white, red and pink cardstock. With 2-way glue, I attached the pink and red hearts to the white hearts on the tree. The sentiment from Penny Black’s 51-093 Heartfelt was cut several times for additional depth. I added two birds, cut from gold paper with 51-094 Tweets, to the tree, attaching them with dimensional adhesive.
