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.

YET ANOTHER VALENTINE

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all well.  It seems ages since I posted last and yet it was only yesterday morning LOL!!!

I am well into Valentine mode at the moment but am still chasing my tail .. .. .. so sadly I am not getting any blog hopping in!!  Still at least that means I am busy.

A much simpler Valentine share today




This used:

Image:  Stampendous! "V143" Ornate Heart
Sentiment:  Magnolia "Be My Valentine"
Backing Paper:  Papermania "Rose Garden"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
Ribbons and flowers from the Stash Box

The heart has been stamped in black versafine ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder so that there is a nice sheen on it .. .. but sadly the camera hasn't been able to pick this up.

Right .. back to it .. ..  lots more I need to do before I can give in for the day .. .. no rest for the wicked!!!  LOL!!!

Love

Hi Jules. This is a lovely Valentine's card. For some reason I am finding them really difficult. After coming up with one idea I got stuck, funny how some things are easier than others. The heart stamp on this is really beautiful.
I love your circle easel card and have had a look at your excellent tutorial. I shall definitely be giving this a go.
Hugs Lisax
