Valentine's Heart Card


It's official! This card has the most comments of all of my personal cards on Splitcoast. It is so dazzling in person. I used Stampin Up's chunky glitter on this chipboard heart that I die cut with my Cuttlebug. I used some pretty Valentine's paper I got at Archivers last week and not wanting to cover it up I layered it even on the middle strip. The layout is this weeks TSSC (techno stamper sketch challenge.)

The medallion is my favorite part. I made it up all by myself LOL! I used burgundy cardstock with circle Nestabilities die then I cut a piece of pink pirouette cardstock with a scallop die and went back and cut the inside with a plain die to make a "ring" or "frame" and placed that on the burgundy piece. Then I stamped the circle sentiment and placed that in the middle. I used a 1/2" punch to punch out one of the hearts from the paper and put that in a build a brad, then put the brad in the middle of the sentiment. I put the whole medallion up on dimensionals so it overlaps the chunky heart. So there you have it!

    Hey, there's such a thing as build a brad? New to me. Sounds like a great idea. What does it look like before you mess with it?

  6. Awesome Cheryl! I am so glad it made it on time, I was worried. I tried to pick one that you really liked on my blog to send :) The build a brad is a flat 1/2 inch brad that has a rim and you put a 1/2 inch circle picture on it then you use the adhesive backed rounded piece of plastic to put on top. I hope that made sense!

    Thank you everyone on your comments about this card! :)
