Hey friends! I’m happy to be on the Newton’s Nook blog today with a trio of gift tags for Valentine’s Day. I love the images from the Valentines Postage Sampler set but don’t always want to make postage stamps…good think they’re perfect on their own too!
I started with a few of my favorite images from the set – stamping, coloring and die cutting them out. Then I cut a few hearts with the Heart Frames die set in different colors, plus a smaller size in white.
I chose sentiments from the stamp set and stamped one crisp one on the white heart and kept stamping until the ink was gone for a faded effect. Then I used the Petite Hearts stencil on all of the colored hearts for a tone-on-tone look that gives a little interest in the background.
I glued the white hearts to the colored one and popped the images up with foam squares on each one. Then I die cut an addition large white heart for each one so I had clean room to write a message to the recipient. I lined the hearts up and punches holes in them all, tying them together with some jute twine.
For finishing touches I added glitter enamel dots to each one and then something extra to the image. This one has stickles on the balloon shine spot, the roses are glittery and the cherries got a splash of glossy accents.
Are you gearing up for Valentine treats yet? I’m almost done already and it feels great!
