Just saying hello

Valentine's Cards, I love designing them...especially after the holidays. It's a nice change and reminds me that Spring is just around the corner.

Today's card features:

• Pretty Pink Posh - Love Word Shaker | die
• Mama Elephant - December Duo | stamp + die
• Lawn Fawn - Simple Sentiments | stamp
• Pretty Pink Posh - Love | shaker beads

Shaker cards, I didn't really start making them until just a couple years ago.  This one was easy to make:

• Use the Love Word Shaker solid die with red + white cardstock.
• Line up the letters in the Red Love die cut
• Take the A2 white panel with the negative Love cut. Flip it upside down and drop the red outline Love die cut into the center of the panel.  I used 1/8 strips of double sided tape to adhere the word securely.
• Cut down acetate [use upcycled packaging] to just shy of an A2 panel.  Back the White A2 panel with the red love outline with the acetate film.
• I added strips of foam adhesive to create a rectangle on the back of the Love panel. 
• Cut pink panel a smidge smaller than an A2 panel.  Position shaker beads in the middle of the panel.
• Carefully pull away the strips from the double sided tape on the Love white panel.  Secure it to the pink panel with the shaker beads.  I make sure that I firmly press down the top panel to secure all the adhesive strips.
• Finish off the card with the sentiment strip stamped in Lawn Fawn Crunchy Leaf.

I'm going to tuck this into some happy mail that is going to my daughter.

Thanks for stopping by!
