Heart Shaped Valentine Card

 I've been playing around in Silhouette Studio to create a card idea that was floating around in my head and it was perfect for this week's challenge at Stampin' Royalty.

Our challenge this week is VALENTINES! The floating idea in my head was a card that opens and is shaped like a heart with a pocket on the front.  I designed this card in Silhouette Studio and let it do the cutting for me. 

And this is the result.  I wanted the card to fit in a standard A2 envelope (5-1/2" x 4-1/4") and this card does. 

And I wanted to be able to have a little pull out card in the pocket to write something cute.  

But I also thought it would be great to put a gift card in there too!

Okay, I did not want to run down stairs to get a gift card from my purse for this picture, so I just used a business card. A gift card would really be more fun. 

This card also looks great with out using the pocket.  

Here is the card open, the sentiment stamped here and on the outside of the card are from the Sealed with Love stamp set by Stampin' Up!  The designer paper I used is the coordinating paper for this stamp set, called Sending Love. 

I'd love the share the cut pattern with you so you can make your own card in the Silhouette design studio.  If you have a Silhouette download this file from Google Docs and open it in Silhouette to use my cut file.  This is the first time I am sharing a cut file, so let's see how it goes.  Click the link to the google doc below.  Download the file and then save it to your computer then right click on it to open it in Silhouette Studio.  You must have Silhouette Studio to us the file below.  If you'd like a print able version of this card so you can cut them out by hand email me at [email protected] and I will send it to you.

Reversible Love Banner

Valentine's Day is about one month away now!  I think a few cute decorations are in order!  

So, for my Valentine's Craft Class on 1/20/17 we are making this cute Love Banner.  

This banner features the Sending Love Designer Paper from Stampin' Up!'s Occasions Catalog.  

I added a splash of glitter with the red glittered heart for the O in LOVE.  

But my favorite part of the banner is that it is reversible!  

Flip it over..... 

You have a whole new banner.  I like this because you can change it when you want a new look and you can hang it somewhere where it can be seen from both sides. 

It's a quick and easy decor piece to add some Valentine fun to your home.  It would also make a great Valentine's Day gift!  

I'd love to help you make one at my upcoming Valentine's Craft Class.  Here are all the details:

Sealed with Love Treat Bag

What better way to send your love than with a little treat!  

At my Valentine Craft Class we are making 3 of this treat bag, so you will have a cute package to put a sweet Valentine into. 

A cute tag makes all the difference on this gift bag.  

Fill this bag with some fresh baked cookies, brownies or your Valentine's favorite candy. And of course you can not go wrong with CHOCOLATE! 

This bag measures 5" x 7" when flat, leaving you plenty of room to fill it. 

The Mini Envelope from the Sent with Love Framelit set by Stampin' Up! is one of my new favorite things. I love it filled with hearts. 

My favorite heart is the stripped one, I used the same framelits set and die cut this heart from Kraft card stock to coordinate with the bag.

Red and Green not just for Christmas

This week's challenge at Stampin' Royalty is a color challenge.  

The real challenge for me was to make something with these colors that was not Christmas.  I've been playing with my new Valentine's products and so I challenged myself to make a Valentine card with these colors. 

I am pleased with how it turned out and don't think of Christmas when I look at the card.

I embossed the saying from the Sealed with Love Stamp Set with White Embossing powder on Real Red card stock and then die cut it with a Heart framelit.  I love the traditional look of a simple red heart with Happy Valentines Day on it, which made me want to pair it with a bit of doily.  

I also used the dies that coordinate with the Sealed with Love stamp set, Love Notes, to die cut the little mini envelope and tiny note in it. There is even a tiny little die to cut out a liner for your little envelope! 

I added more color to my Sending Love designer paper, by coloring the open white spaces on either side of the red stripes with my Mint Macaron and Emerald Envy markers. 

For an extra little touch I added some tousled green thread behind the heart, love is in the details. 

You can find all the new things I used to make this card; Sealed with Love Stamp Set, Love Note Thinlit Dies, Sending Love Designer Paper in the just released Occasions catalog!
