I've been making Valentine's cards, and have one to share with you today:
I used a set of nesting hearts dies to create this card. These happen to be by Spellbinders, but the Dies R Us Store has several great options you could use including these by Tutti Designs, and these by Card Deco Essentials.
I wanted an element of surprise when the recipient took the card out of the envelope, so I positioned my hearts at a bit of a rakish angle, then continued that surprise with lots of glitter and foil papers.
Here's a photo of all the supplies I used:
I wanted to make sure all those layers stuck together really well, and I sometimes have trouble with glitter paper adhering, so I used Stick It Sheets on the back of all the foil and glitter papers --and the sentiment.
Here's everything after I got it die cut:
The sentiment is from a great set by Creative Expressions. I use it often.
And, one more view of my sparkly card:
I wanted to make sure you've heard the exciting news! Dies R Us now has a sister store located in Canada called Didi Crafts. It will ship both to the Us and Canada. Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as Dies R Us, but most will be different. Now our Canadian friends don't have to pay huge taxes or large shipping costs. How great is that?!?!
