Blog Blitz! Love Shaker

Happy New Year, everyone! Poppystamps is in full Valentine mode with a Blog Blitz featuring all new Valentine dies!

I'm showcasing 'Love Stitch Circle Frame'. Together with another new die, 'Double Stitch Scalloped Rectangle Frames', here's a little inspiration for a 'Love Shaker' card.

I cut several of the love circles, one in white, 5 in red. Rather than use foam, I love the look of a contrast color to pop up my die cut.

The scalloped frames can be cut apart and used individually, but I kept them together and embossed a A2 sized card for an all over lacy look for my background.

A bit of Birch Press Design ribbon and some glitter dipped paper roses, and my shaker is ready for my valentine!

I used a combo of red sequins and red sequin hearts for my filler.

This angle gives you a better look at how I assembled the die cuts.

Don't forget, each comment during the blitz gives you a better chance to win one of the new Valentine dies! Hope you win!

  26. Pretty! I like the effect of the stack of die cuts instead of foam. It solves a number of problems. You don’t have to worry about the bits sticking to the foam or having any gaps. It also adds color as you noted. I also Iike the effect you got with the frames all nested together.

  38. Nancy, I really like today’s card. It is so clean and fresh looking. I especially like that you just put a sprinkling of hearts in the shaker part, rather than emptying the kitchen sink into it.

  41. Hi Nancy, This card is really beautiful !! Red and white is always a beautiful ‘look’, always looks fresh, and I absolutely adore how you have used the rectangle die in your background, it is so effective, and the gorgeous scalloped circle looks really lovely stacked up, and my favourite ‘shaker’, I absolutely love it !! This would be ideal for my hubby’s Birthday on Valentine’s Day.
