Just popping in here, on this beautiful, chilly, Saturday morning, to share a few, more, Valentine cuties that I've made for Winter's Valentine's Day Card Drive. She's accepting Valentines until the end of this month, so you've still got a few days left to get creative and send them in.
How about a little closer look?
I started this card by stamping the open hearts, in Crumb Cake ink, on a piece of aqua, patterned paper; machine stitching, with brown-threaded, straight stitches, around its edges; over stamping it, in Chocolate Chip ink, with the "be mine Valentine" sentiment; and adhering it to the 3-3/4" x 4", Crumb Cake, cardstock, card face.
I then die cut the pocket from Chocolate Chip cardstock; embossed it with the weave pattern; tucked a small piece of rose, polka dot, patterned paper behind the die cut heart; and adhered it, with foam tape, centered above the stamped sentiment and over a length of hemp twine, which was tied, in a bow, just to its left edge.
The pocket was then stuffed with a glittered, leafy branch, which was die-cut from Crumb Cake cardstock, as well as a stamped, in Rose Red ink, envelope bundle, which I hand cut out and distressed with Tea Dye and Antique Linen inks.
Inspiration for these cuties came from the Die Cutting Challenge in the Moxie Fab World, as well as Color Throwdown's Challenge #176.
We're off to another, basketball game, of Ezekiel's, in just a bit. Then, my crafty space is calling my name, and I'm hoping to find a little, quiet time to bust out a few treasures. Until next week, ya'll, thanks so much for looking my way, and have a blessed rest of your weekends! Oh! And please don't forget that you have until the close of tomorrow CST to get in on my Birthday Giveaway. Hugs!
