Happy Monday friends! We’re mixing things up on the Doodlebugs blog for another bit of valentine inspiration before the big day arrives. I had fun with dies and embossing today.
I adore this new Pretty Pink Posh XOXO border so that’s where things started for this card. I just cut the main piece from light gray cardstock and one heart from light pink. I still wasn’t sold on what to do so I went digging in my stash and came across the adorable Spellbinders Sweet Birdie.
I used some pink, melon and peach cardstocks from my stash to create my bird and cut a heart for the border from each color too. I glued all the hearts directly to the border except the darkest one which is popped up with a foam square. I ran a white panel through the die cutter with the Spellbinders Tiny Dots embossing folder for my background and glued the border to the bottom. Then I popped the birdie up with foam squares to match the popped up heart.
I stumbled on this ribbon in my stash to tie around the top of my panel and added a tag from the Spellbinders Envelope of Wonder collection. The sentiment comes from the stamp set in that collection too. After tying the bow I added foam squares to the tags to keep them in place.
For finishing touches I just added glossy accents to the birdie’s eye and beak. Isn’t this such a sweet valentine?
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
