It's Thursday and time for Create with Connie and Mary's Challenge! We have a beautiful color challenge for you today…perfect for Valentine's, so that is what I did! We are in the middle of Week 1 for the Spring Edition 2013 and our designers are showing off LOTS of fun projects! Why don't you join us? At a price of $34.95 US for over 30 step-by-step tutorials…that's just a little over $1 each! We are featuring products in the Spring Mini and Sale-A-Bration brochures! Our website stays up over a year, so you can refer back to them 24/7!
Here's my card using the color challenge this week. Love that Hearts a Flutter bundle…stamps and framelits! There are some subtle details on this card, so you need to look close!
Here are the details!
- The base card is 4 1/4 x 11 of Raspberry Ripple, folded in half.
- The Whisper White 4 x 5 1/4 layer has been partially embossed with the Chevron Folder, I left a top portion un-embossed for the greeting.
- Be My Valentine from Delightful Dozen was stamped in Lucky Limeade and I added a Small Heart Punch of Raspberry Ripple with a rhinestone jewel.
- I stamped a 1 x 4 strip of Lucky Limeade with Lucky Limeade ink, using the pennant shape in the Hearts a Flutter stamp set…I liked how it gave me a striped pattern without using DSP!
- The small hearts were stamped in Pink Pirouette and Raspberry Ripple, cut with the heart framelit, then scattered along the Lucky Limeade strip. I popped up a couple of them with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Finally, I tucked the larger scallop heart stamped with Raspberry Ripple and cut with the framelit, added a smaller solid heart inside and added another rhinestone jewel. It is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals, too!
Made for a sweet little Valentine card!

So very cute! Love all the hearts along the stamped strip! Great details!
I really like how the Lucky Limeade makes the hearts stand out – a fun and eye-catching Valentine card!
Beautiful Valentines card. That Lucky Limeade strip really highlights the row of hearts.
Very nice Connie! I like the partially embossed chevron. I'm so glad I got to see you at Leadership!

Cute card! I think with the green in there it would be the perfect "manly" Valentine.
Hi Connie,
I love this card… and I took the liberty to CASE this beauty! Totally adore it. Thanks for sharing and giving a how to with it!
Warm hug
Such a beautiful and wonderfully clean Valentine's card!
I like how you only partially embossed the chevron so you could stamp the sentiment at the top. A beauty!
So fun! Chevron background goes great w/ new stamp set.
