I {heart} Hearts Shaker Card

It may seem early, but Valentine's Day is just six weeks away, so it's time to start shopping for your card-making supplies. There is a great selection of designer paper, rub-ons, ribbon, and punches perfect for Valentine's Day in the Clearance Rack. Click here to shop for deals -- up to 80% off original price!

This Valentine card was one of our Stamp Club projects. We used the Holly Berry Bouquet paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Make sure to order before January 3rd, when the catalog ends. This is technically "Christmas" paper, but many of the patterns are holiday neutral and the red glitter stripes (on this card) and polka dots are perfect for Valentine's Day!

We used the Shaker Frames under the Top Note die cut with a small piece of Window Sheet to create the shaker under the hearts. We used the Heart to Heart punch to punch small red hearts from the Red Glimmer Paper to go in the shaker.

I was hoping to get a tutorial together before I shared this card, but that didn't happen and Christmas is now over, so I better post the card. I will still make the tutorial and will do a Valentine's version of it. My goal is this week, so stay tuned for the instructions!

This is the inside of the card. Much more exciting than the clean and simple front:

Designer Paper Ornament & Colored Rhinestone Tip

I'm back!!! Did you miss me? So sorry for my blog silence the last couple weeks. Life got kind of crazy and posting my projects just got pushed to the bottom of the list. I have lots to share and am ready to get back to regular posting, so don't give up on me! I'm very excited to use my new Christmas gift from my hubby -- a mini photo studio to take photos of my projects! I prefer natural light and with the sun going down so early, I just haven't been able to get great photos. Now I'll be able to take photos when I have the most time -- which is usually after the kids go to bed!

Here's a project we made last week in Stamp Club. We took 1/2" x 6" pieces of the Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Paper and wrapped it around a pen. We pulled the curls apart to stretch them out and put them inside a glass ornament. (The Chocolate Chip cardstock ring at the bottom is just for keeping the ornament upright.)

Don't miss the tag! It looks pretty simple using the Pines & Poinsettias stamp set, but the best part is the colored Rhinestones. Yep -- COLORED rhinestones! Nope, it's not a sneak peek product. I used the Basic Rhinestone Jewel Accents and colored them with a permanent marker! Just think of the possibilities!!

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Pines & Poinsettias, Tiny Tags, Chocolate Chip marker, Wild Wasabi marker, Real Red marker, Whisper White cardstock, Wild Wasabi cardstock, Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Paper, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Rhinestone Jewel Accents, Real Red Satin Ribbon, White Baker's Twine, 1/16" Hole Punch
