Wanting to give a little love and encouragement to the ladies in my Bible study group, I spent yesterday making 14 mini Valentine's cards for them. The cards went through several iterations as I tried to figure out what I liked and had enough supplies to create, and I even "cheated" a bit when I used the plain colored back of some cardstock-weight patterned papers to cut the tags. The papers were from a 6"x6" paper pad that had been sitting in my stash for years, so I think it was a good choice to finally use them for something!
Recipe:
Background Builders & Conversation Hearts stamp sets
Topstitch papers
Cosmopolitan Embellishment papers (Making Memories)
Heavenly Blue & White Daisy cardstock
Baby Pink, Heavenly Blue, Chocolate & Cocoa ink
Heavenly Blue grosgrain ribbon
Art Philosophy cartridge: tag
Artiste cartridge: heart
Pattern: Sketch-n-Scrap Card Sketch #294 (I compressed it a little to create a square card)
Challenges: Just Us Girls #809 Heart die-cut; Sweet Stampin' Love theme; Festive Friday #202 - used pink, die-cuts, square card, hearts & arrows
If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #213 - I started out trying to use a solid blue heart stamp, but I couldn't get it to come out evenly, so I swapped for the mini hearts pattern, but I was originally inspired by these blue cookies!
