Time to Send Love

Holidays, love, Newton's Nook, Ocassions, Valentine's Day

Hello friends!  It’s getting closer to Valentine’s Day and Sending out love to others is a good reason to make cards!  I’ve joined a couple of challenges to play along with:

I have fallen in love with these card layout dies from Newton’s Nook called A2 Card Layout Die and was also able to use as part of a sketch for a challenge that worked with it.  The die made it very easy for the layout.  I’ve also used some Newton’s Nook papers as well as a new Valentine themed stamp set that came out in December.  

For the postage stamp on the card, I’ve taken the NN Postage Stamp Layout die and cut one in turquoise and then another in white.  One for the inside and one for the frame.  I cut it apart so that I had several postage stamps.  I stenciled clouds on the turquoise insert and added the heart balloons from the NN Valentine Postage Sampler set over it.  I stamped, colored and cut it out with the coordinating die.  I also white heat embossed the number at the bottom.

I took the same stamp set and stamped some random hearts on the center kraft cardstock panel.  The sentiment came from the NN Sending Hugs stamp set (retired) and was white heat embossed over the hearts.

For the die cut turquoise hearts, I’ve used the NN Charming Hearts Frame die.  It cut out three hearts that I could use for accents on this card.  I’ve attached the entire design over an A2 top folding kraft card base and finished it with some heart shaped sequins.

Thanks so much for joining me today!  I hope you’ve enjoyed my card or found some inspiration!

  2. I love anything even remotely postage style so I can see why you love those layouts. Valentine’s Day is the perfect reason to make cards. This one is really lovely too. You can never add too many hearts to a card or page. ❤️ Or blog comment either. Hope it stays warmer for you. Hugs Erika

  3. Ahhh, I love this card Vicki and I love using pieces of dsp to make designs like you’ve done here. The papers are cute and so is that postage stamp from days gone by and I just love the colors. Hopefully you’re having a great week filled with sunshine. We’re finally above freezing here for a little while and I’m enjoying it. Take good care!

  15. Wow, that sketch was made just for your die! LOL

    Part of my goal not to buy more stuff involves not looking, so when I went over to NN I was surprised at their many die plates. BUT I’M NOT BUYING THEM. Haha, wanted to! Anyway, nice card and I hope your week goes nicely too! XOX
