SCS CAS156 Hearts - "Hearts In Bloom"

I have a simple post today and an entry in the Clean and Simple CAS156 Hearts challenge.  I've had these hearts charms forever and so, unfortunately, I have no clue where I got them.  They just looked like they would make sweet Valentine heart flowers on a card.  I lightly smooshed SU light blue and light pink chalk for some background texture.





Enjoy!  Thanks for looking and for any comments!


Papertrey Ink: Rustic Cream
Stamp:  SU "Inspired by Nature"
Ink:  Green Marvy markers for stems,
        SU chalks for background
Accessories:  Gold heart charms / pop-up foam, unknown

SU Love Impressions Valentines

I think I'm about a year late in making Valentine cards using these Stampin' Up! Love Impressions rub-ons, but they only recently caught my eye on the Clearance Rack at SU.  I made a whole stash of cards and especially love the little heart-air balloons!




These are uber clean and simple.  If you click on the image, I hope you can see the little pearl bling I used to cover the "o" in the little "xo."



And finally two cards using the big rub-on hearts and itty-bitty bits:



And one just using the sentiment from the Impressions set (the heart is a punch).




This was an inspired purchase, well worth it!  And I still have lots of rub-ons left to use in other ways this year, or next year!

Enjoy!

Talk About CAS Valentines!

These two cards couldn't be cleaner or more simple.  This first one is just red cardstock with rounded corners and two heart-shaped rhinestones. 


Close-up of the heart rhinestones:


This one is made using hearts-all-over cardstock by either K & Company or DCWV. I simply stamped a "For You" sentiment (by Stampin' Up!) in the tiny clear space available near the bottom, and tied on a red bow. Voila!


Enjoy!

Hearts Two Ways

This is from my archives; a timeless design.  The stamp is by Stampin' Up!.


And this one with the same stamp using cardstock from my stash of handmade papers (from India, not handmade by me) and pieces of torn colored vellum.  The little heart is wrapped in thin gold wire.




Enjoy!
