Sending Love


 I had quite a few strips of leftover cardstock snippets on my table, so I aligned them all diagonally onto a scrap of white, and die cut a large stitched heart. After cutting the heart, I pulled the smallest stitched heart from the die set and cut 6 smaller hearts from those leftover snippets. I used a SU! embossing folder and the sentiment was computer generated, placed on yet another snippet of gold mirror card.

Sharing with these challenges today:

The Snippets Playground #456 - must use snippets

Can You Handle the Pressure? - A/G  *optional twist of wedding

The Allsorts Challenge #732 - Birthdays or A/G option

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a beautiful day wherever you are!

You've done a grand job with your snippets of metallic card, great idea to use the small heart die and the heart embossing folder as well - ties it all together beautifully

Terrific embossed background with a few infilled hearts. LOVING the use of your snippet strips for the large loveheart.

I have a HUGE pile of leftover stripes ready to be used, and I think that will follow your suggestion and will cut some shapes with a few of them. Thank you once again for the inspiration, you are always full of good ideas! :)
Your card full of hearts looks fabulous, such great design! Love the touches of sparkling and shining and the little hearts to fill some of the debossed ones! Wishing you a fabulous week, full of peace and lovely thoughts! Big hugs dear friend!
