Sweet Valentine

I love making cards and tags for Valentine's Day! There are so many fun colors and embellishments to use, it is hard to pick which ones to use for each project! I have lots of Crafty Secrets Cloth Scraps and fell in love with this image. It reminds me of old Hollywood so I had to glitter it up! I hand stitched around the image, then attached to the card. The frame and hearts are chipboard which I painted, then glittered.


I just got a new sizzix die of an adorable bunny and I knew I had to do it in felt! I think it would be great for Valentines day but it would definetely work for Easter. I attached the felt bunnies to cardstock, cut around each one, then hand stitched. I highlighted the ears and hearts with chalk and I love how it turned out. I posted these tags in my etsy store but wanted to share them with you.

I've been asked to sponsor a giveaway where I'll be giving away some of my Valentine's cards that I have made. Please check back later for the link as I am not sure when it is going to start.

Have a wonderful day!
Annette

Annette, WOW...your card is great! I love the silver Key in the corner and the glitter pops! The tags are adorable and the detail of the stitching makes them professional....I had missed you for a few days, but Amber said that you had e-mailed her so we knew you were busy creating :)
