Bloggers’ Challenge 138 – Valentines!

February 12, 2010 By Connie | 19 Comments

It's Valentine's weekend and what is more appropriate than the Friday Bloggers' Challenge to be a Valentine theme, too!

My Technique Class made this card last week in Class.  They loved it!

 

I used Stampin' Up!'s With All My Heart stamp set for this card.  I love that the larger image fits in the new XL Fancy Flower punch perfectly!  I stamped it in Real Red on Whisper White, then punched it.  I adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals to a tag made with the Tag Corner Punch.  In the center, I punched the Small Heart from Faux Diamond Dust technique Pretty in Pink cardstock…it sparkles so pretty!  The tag is tied on with Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon around the Pretty in Pink base card.

 

The background I made using strips of the Sending Love Designer Paper.  it is called the Herringbone Technique.  I learned how to make it from Technique Junkies Newsletter.  I added a row of the Scallop Trim Border from Whisper White.  Then I stamped Friend and trimmed it with my Paper Snips, added it to the front of the tag.

 

I'm very happy with how it turned out!

 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
