Cutesy Heart Patchwork Die Set - Tonic Studios

Happy Tuesday!

I made a couple of Valentine's Day cards using the Tonic Studios Cutesy Heart Patchwork Die Set.  I also used the very useful With Love Tag & Stamp Die Set for the sentiments.  My affiliate links are here, with thanks:

The first card I made was a shaker and I covered the back of the die cut with acetate before adding sequins to it and covering it with blue card.  This then became my topper.  I stamped Happy Valentine's Day across the top and bottom.

For my second card I stamped the background then added the leftover hearts from the previous card.  I added the largest die cut to the centre of my card and die cut Be My Valentine.

You can see the reel with me creating these cards on my instagram - simplyshabneez. 

See you again later on in the week,

Happy Weekend!

It's been a great week and I'm really looking forward to having no deadlines this weekend for a change.  I even managed a day off in the week and met up with a very dear friend of mine who I've known for about 15 years now - it was a novelty walking around the shops and having a leisurely lunch before the school run.

I'm up on the CrafTangles blog today with a collection of pastel Valentine cards.  I don't know about you but I tend to associate red with Valentines and fancied trying something a little different.

For all the cards I designed I used distress inks in soft shades to make my backgrounds with a variety of love themed stencils by CrafTangles.

I added die cut shapes to stamp my sentiments on - all with black ink to make them pop!

For my final card I decided to make a shaker using a nesting die set and I think it's my favourite.  I'd love to know which yours is.

So there you have it - a collection of pastel Valentine cards all ready to be posted!  There is a more in depth tutorial of how I made these cards on the CrafTangles blog HERE. 

I hope you have a good weekend whatever you do!
