A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

HEART OF HEARTS

Hi Everyone

Just nipping in quickly with an anniversary card to share .. .. one which uses what has probably been the most used die in my collection.  Surprise, surprise!

It is useful and loved for so many reasons.  Once I thought I had lost it and it felt like the end of the world LOL!!  Luckily I only had about 20 minutes of torture before I found it again and now it has its own special place to live (inside a tin with a mass of die cut and punched hearts) .. .. .. I dread to think what a huge mess it would make if I was ever to drop it!!! 

This is what I love doing best with it . . . . . a bit like a fun jig-saw and it uses up lots of snippets in the process.

This used:

Heart of Heart Die - Impression Obsessions
Julie Hickey - Layers, Frames & Banner Rectangle Die Set
Sentiment - MamaElephant "Bountiful Blessings"
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Lots of snippets .. .. .. some of which are lovely black flocked ones

So that is me for today.

Enjoy your weekend everyone - I hope you manage to find a bit of crafty time to enjoy.

I can just see how this die is such a favourite with you and it's ideal for an anniversary card. Each time It's used it must surely add to your growing collection of little hearts to incorporate into your projects. Hugs x

Hi Jules,
you've done it again!! What a stunning card - I love it!
The colours go perfectly together and that scrummy sentiment (which never comes up on Ebay :-( ....!) is gorgeous .
Hope you've had a wonderful weekend.
Love and hugs
