Krafty Valentines

Hello friends and welcome to February!  Today I am sharing several cards over on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Blog made with one of the new stamp sets being released this month...Forever & Always.  The patterned hearts and sentiments  in this set are so much fun and perfect for crafting all year long!

Creative Nugget:  The solid heart from Forever & Always was used to add a pattern to my Scan 'N Cut.  The shape was then used to cut the three heart openings from a piece of Kraft card stock.  One of the texture stamps from Texture Tiles 3 and Frayed Burlap Distress ink were used to add texture to the card stock. The sentiment was white embossed at the bottom of the panel. The solid heart was stamped in a light shade through the heart openings and the patterned hearts were then stamped with a darker shade.  Twine was dyed to match each of the hearts so they could be hung from the top of the card.  Nuvo drops were added to finish the card.

Creative Nugget:  Dotty papers from Tailored Expressions and dry embossed texture from Tim Holtz were used as a background for these dotty hearts from the Forever & Always stamp set.  

Creative Nugget:  My third Krafty Valentine was actually made with the Filigree Hearts stamp set which was last month's Stamp of the Month but is now available for purchase at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store.  White pigment ink was swiped over the raised embossed hearts on the Kraft card stock background. The Filigree Hearts were stamped and colored with Copic Markers. They were cut with the Scan 'N Cut and popped onto a Spellbinder's lacey oval die cut on which the sentiment was stamped.  The sentiment is available as a Valentine Sentiments Digital Stamp.

As you can see...I am more than ready for Valentine's Day!

    My goodness, Cathy, your projects are awesome! I especially love the card which you've entered into our challenge. The ink-swiped background embossing is perfect for the gorgeous stamped and die-cut hearts. (Love the colouring). Mounting them on that prettty doily was such an excellent move.
