Here are a couple Valentines I made with snippets of cardstock. This one was done in shades of blue. I simply glued down strips of dsp on a scrap piece of cardstock in a herringbone pattern, then die-cut it with a SSS heart & thank-you die, added a SNSS sentiment and called this one done.
This was done with pink snippets, and I had enough of the herringbone pattern left to die-cut a smaller heart using a SU! framelit die.
Wishing you all a happy Valentine's day......it's right around the corner now :)

They really look lovely Carol. What a great way to use up your snippets of pretty paper. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteGreat use of your snippets!! So clever putting them in a herringbone pattern and diecut in heart shapes! Well done!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are SO pretty, Carol! I have never done this technique and everytime I see one of your pretty cards done with it I kick myself for it! This technique really gives each card a different look. I love these diecut with the hearts too! Very cool idea! Have a great day even though it's a dreary one! I bet you can't wait for racing to start up! I know Ryan is excited for it!
ReplyDeleteThese are both so pretty! I love the herringbone pattern. It looks like a lot of work though!
ReplyDeleteTFS!

Oh my gosh these are adorable!! They look just like little mini quilts! I have a bag of scraps but not sure I have enough colors that blend as nice as yours do! I'll keep saving them though. Thanks for sharing your beautiful art work!
ReplyDeleteNow these are just gorgeous heart quilts!!! What a perfect way to show love! Great use of your snippets as well. Wonderful 'strip quilting' too. Corners mitered beautifully! TFS & you know I loved these 2 cards! Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh I love this one and I haven't made a card for Jack yet and he is a "less is more" type guy so I think I will have to CASE your card. Thanks because my MoJo has gone and left me so this was a BIG help.
ReplyDeleteLovely way to not have them exact but each as pretty as the others.........Lis
ReplyDeletePerfect snippets card and SO PRETTY! Love the direction of the pieces on paper in the heart and of course that CAS look!
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been around this week. Life got in the way - and will be in the way once again this coming week, but worse! Will be back when I can.
