Hey friends! Just popping in today with a quick and easy project for a Valentine card! I am so sad that it's almost time to stop making Valentines! Do you have fun plans for this weekend? Are you celebrating with your favorite sweetie? The hubs and I haven't come up with any grand plans but I'm sure we will spend the day together in some way. We are not really 'fancy dinner' kind of people... So maybe we'll catch a movie or go for a drive. I'd love to hear your Valentine plans!
One of my mostest favoritest craft people ever featured my last project on her blog! I am so thrilled! Maybe you will check it out? CLICK HERE to see it! I adore anything and everything Brenda Walton does. Her products for K & Company are still among my favorite crafting collections. Her style is just so beautiful. I'm honored to be on her blog.
Here's my card for today. SUPER quick and easy! You just need a heart punch and a sentiment stamp! I love that you can use all kinds of pretty patterned papers on this one. The sewing is optional, if you're not comfortable with that part of it.
I adore these yummy paper hearts! Easy peasy to sew a straight line right down the middle. I very lightly tacked the hearts down first before sewing. The bottom heart is not folded, and the top heart is just folded in half using my score board.
The hearts will lay flat inside the envelope, so even though it doesn't seem like it, this would be a good card to mail. I stamped a simple sentiment with jet black ink. The sentiment stamp is from Simon Says Stamp.
I'm just thinking of all the paper scraps I could use to make more of this card layout! You could also use circles, or butterflies...or some other graphic element!
Thanks for coming by my craft friends. I {heart} you! enjoy the rest of your week! I'll be back on Saturday with my Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 tag for February! I already made it, but I still need to take all the pictures! Mwah.
Sorry to be so slow in my commenting and visiting you but between getting ready for 10 days with my grandbabies and actually being here with them I have been just a touch busy!!! But I hope you know how amazing I think you are even when I don't get the chance to come and tell you right away!! But I am here now and want to tell you that this card is amazing and so cool and fun!! Well done and love the way you used different patterns and colors together to create this little beauty!!! Have a wonderful day!!

I love this style of card be it with hearts or butterflies. The sewing really makes it I think (which is why I haven't made one). I'm with you that I'm sad it is time to quit making VD cards. They are the reason I'm a card maker I'm sure of it. As for what the hubby and I are doing this weekend? Maybe buying a new love seat for the man cave. It sounds romantic enough doesn't it?

Fabulous card Wanda! Congrats on being featured on Brenda Walton's blog--gorgeous card. We are going to Florida on Friday so we will be in the warm for Valentines Day. Probably end up having dinner with our kids, the way we want it. Happy Valentines!

This is fabulous, my friend! Absolutely LOVE all those pretty paper hearts! And what a fun extra bonus that this can actually be so easily mailed. I LOVE it! Hope you and the hubs have a super fun Valentine's Day. It's going to be quiet here, but I do get to spend the day with my wee missy! :)
Congratulations on your special feature over at Brenda Walton's! So well deserved!

The sewing is the perfect touch to step this fabulous card up a notch, Wanda. Fun design & DPs. Fancy dinners & champagne & chocolates are fine (for some), but IMO, just spending quality time with that special someone is right up my alley!

What a lovely project, Wanda. Delightful colors and patterns, and the stitching adds a sweet touch. Wishing you a wonderful Valentine's Day!

I love this heart card. I have so many paper scraps to use!
Congrats on having your "pocket" featured on B. Walton's blog (new to me).
No Valentine's plans for us--we avoid going out on crowded holidays, esp when our little town has no good restaurants--just diners :-(

Beautiful! What a fun Valentine! I'm so impressed when people sew on their cards - that's the one thing I'm never ambitious enough to do!
