I {heart} You

Hi everyone and happy Saturday :-)

Today I have another Valentine's card that I want to share with you. 
I created the card using one of my new favorite paper collections: 'Love Me' from My Mind's Eye.
I just love the colors and patterns in this collection and can't stop myself using them - hope you are not bored to death to see the third project in a row using these papers *lol* 

The banner was cut out from a patterned paper and then I punched out some of the little hearts on the flags with a small heart punch and put the banner on dimensional foam tape.
The heart has two layers: basic was punched out from light blue cardstock (distressed with walnut stain Distress inks) and then put a cardstock sticker element on top of it
The alpha stickers are super glittery.. I just love glitter *lol* 
And recently I found myself sewing on cards all the time ;-) Just love the look of it .. hope you do, too :-)




card recipe:
  • patterned papers - My Mind's Eye 'Love Me' Collection
  • cardstock stickers - My Mind's Eye 'Love Me' Collection
  • tools - sewing machine
  • other supplies - Dani Peuss dark grey cardstock, American Crafts white glitter alpha stickers, Rayher small heart punch, EK Success larger heart punch, LilyBee Design index journaling card, foam tape from stash, Mini Glue Dots

SOOO cute! Looove the flags, colors and letters, and the heart-holes are perfect. The sewing looks great, and the teal (or is it grey?) color of the cardboard fits perfectly.

Great work, Sylvia. :)
Hugs, Anne.

I love your card, especially the banner. And I'm so impressed with your sewing. I've been practicing sewing on cards and it's a lot harder than it looks to get a clean look! You have really put together a beautiful card here.
