Helllloooooooo! How are you!? Thank you for all the fun comments and all the excitement from the Season's Givings Blog Hop this weekend! WHOA! That was super super fun! I loved reading all of the comments about your creative resolutions. There were three main themes that came up over and over again your comments. One, getting organized! That seems to be the top priority for all of us (me included)! Two, starting Christmas cards earlier this year (I am one hundred percent on board this train too). Three, using the craft supplies we already have and making the most of our supplies. I'm going to do some brainstorming here and write some posts speaking to these things we all have in common. 2017 is ready to rock and roll! Let's do this!

Hope your week is going great! My studio is in full on heart mode! Valentines everywhere! I am loving all the new papers and the new collection of stamps and dies from Simon Says Stamp. I used some more of the brand new dies from the Hey Love collection to make today's card.
I am sharing a traditional red and white valentine – gotta love that! And, it's a shaker card with a twist… Instead of using acetate or clear plastic for my shaker, and sequins, I used vellum and paper hearts. I like how this one came out – just a bit of a change up from the normal shaker. It somehow seems a little more vintage or old fashioned. And, lemme tell ya, it was a lot easier to wrangle the paper hearts that it is to wrangle sequins! LOL.
It's kind of hard to photograph vellum… I hope you can see the little red hearts inside my shaker square! Much more prominent in person. I used two sizes of Stitched Squared dies to create a frame and layered the beautiful new Happy Valentine's Day die on top in bright red. YUM!
These new roses dies are so delicate and beautiful! I cut out just a couple of them for the corners of the card. My card is a 5×5 inch square. I thought about making the hearts pink but when I did that it sort of threw off the whole look. I liked it better with just red and white. I added pearl accents to the centers of the flowers and here and there on the card.
I used the new Clipping Hearts Die to make my 'confetti' for the shaker part. SOOOO easy! I made all these little hearts with just one pass through the Big Shot!
Here is my vellum frame….
I cut foam tape in half to mount my layers of the shaker part, and dropped in all the hearts.
This Valentine's Day die cut is seriously too gorgeous!!!! I know this one will get put to good use!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Are you making Valentines yet? I really love making Valentines – definitely one of my top three fav crafting holidays. All the supplies are listed below. Hope you have a wonderful day! XOXO
SUPPLIES FOR TODAY'S CARD!
