Theme: Winter, New Year’s, Calendar ideas, Valentine’s Day, Love/Anniversary
As you can see, I chose to make a Valentine's Day card. I had this pretty paper
from K&Company called Smitten for years. I may have used a few pieces from
this pad, but I seem to find it more pleasurable to decorate the inside of my
drawer. Well, no more!

I thought it would be fun to share with you a picture of some of the stash I planned
to use on this card but, as it turns out, I didn't use everything.
to use on this card but, as it turns out, I didn't use everything.
It's pretty simple, really. I made a card base to measure 5"x7", and layered a
piece from the paper pad slightly smaller than the card base. I found these
pretty aqua/gold doilies and layered that next. Some pretty heart shaped lace,
topped with pleated pink ribbon was added along the left edge. I die cut two
heart shapes, two solid hearts from different papers, and one gold flourished
heart. These were layered on top of each other, as shown.
Next, I added three mini flowers and a pretty pink bow to the center heart. A
print label was added with pop dots above the hearts, and two stamp images
were adhered on either side of the heart.

These pieces were used to finish off the inside of the card.
I layered the vellum with printed phrase over the print square label, and centered
on the card inside. Another label printed "love is in the air" was pop dotted and
added over the square label. A border strip was cut in half and added along the
top and bottom edge. Finishing off the card inside is just one more added detail,
but usually so appreciated by the recipient.

I hope you have been inspired to check out what you are hoarding in your stash
suitable for Valentine's Day. It isn't far off, you know. So take a look, you never
know what you will find. I am always surprised at some of the amazing, but long-
forgotten things I come across.

Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jan. It is so fun finding beautiful things you forgot about in your stash. :)
DeleteBeautiful card, Barbara - love the way you combined all your elements...and I think you have one terrific hoard of Valentine treasures! LOL I'm envious. When Valentine's Day rolls around, I never have any 'real' Valentine stuff LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win a prize ... didn't expect to have a chance at that!
Happy New Year, Barbara!
Thanks for your sweet comments, Tristan. You always make me feel so artistic! I have saved (hoarded) so much for so many years that I think I probably need to purge a bit, as well. LOL Which, BTW, I have started doing. But is is so hard to get rid of things that are so pretty! Happy New Year to you, too! Hope 2017 brings you all you wish for!
DeleteI love the card! This is a great idea to help use those long lost items. I have plenty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Meme. I think it comes with the territory, since we paper crafters seem to always be in the same "boat", too much stuff, too little time. LOL
DeletePretty card, love the doily and what you did with the hearts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Treva. So glad you stopped by!
DeleteTruly a beautiful card, Barbara!! I have that MB heart and it is at the top of my favorites list for die cuts. It always looks exquisite in any color. Smitten, aw, I remember these beautiful papers. TFS!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vicki! Glad you stopped by!
DeleteSo - thank you thank you for sharing this blog hop - I simply HAD to share the amazing projects with my fanpage! I couldn't even pick out a favorite if I tried! I love how you used the items you did- and the inside of the card... love love love it! Great project!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Lynda. So glad you stopped by and are enjoying the hop!
DeleteOh my goodness I have not done a blog hope in years!! thanks for the fun and BTW I love your card!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emmajean. I hope you are enjoying the hop, and thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThis is great, love how you start out wanting to use things then decide to use others. I do the same.
ReplyDeleteThanks LeeAnn. I always seem to pull out more than I need, but once it is in the picture, I cannot take it out. LOL
DeleteI love finding things I had long forgotten. They become "new" again, such a treat! This is a lovely card. TFS!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Katie. Enjoy the hop!

Thanks a bunch, Karen. So glad you are enjoying the hop. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI had to laugh at your comment about seeming to prefer to decorate the inside of a drawer with pretty papers, rather than use them....a common problem here too! LOVE that you used one of those vellum sentiments for the inside of the card. I have many of those and will have to start using them as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. I really love how the vellum sheet fit the label perfectly. It was as though it were meant to be. LOL
DeleteBeautiful layering! Love the pretty die you used!
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise.
DeleteReally cute card. Love the color combo.

DeleteI really love looking at all the wonderful projects that everyone makes on these blog hops. Your card is wonderful. I'm sure that we all have papers that we hoard because they are too pretty to cut. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judy. I think we all suffer from that same "sickness", not wanting to cut our pretty papers. LOL Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOh what a fun stash you had to work with... the card is gorgeous; the heart lace ... Swoooooooon and touch of gold OMG; love at first sight <3
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much, Rea'. I really do love that paper, but I have to stop hoarding and put these things to better use. So glad you stopped by.

ReplyDelete~Gin K.~
Thank you, Ginny. You should check your stash, you never know what you will find. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteSuch a lovely Valentine's card. . .perfect timing since I've just started making my own and am inspired by your creating from hoarded items. I'll need to sort through my own.
