Hi, guys! Today I am sharing a Valentine I made for my friend Christine to give to her husband. They are a family of 3, so I incorporated 3 hearts, the small one to represent their young daughter. The hearts were actually cut from a Christmas Card I received that I loved. It was pretty and the patterns on it were many, so I didn't want to just toss it. What a fun way to repurpose something!
Supplies:
Paper: Desert Storm Cardstock
Ink: Unicorn White
Misc.: Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Heart Punches, Oval Scallop Punch
I really like the way the background came out by using the Unicorn White ink on the embossing folder (faux letterpress technique).
Hope you have a great day!

Lovely card Winnie. I am sure your husband will love it. :) And thanks for all your wonderful comments on my blog.
I like saving and repurposing pretty Christmas cards too. It seems like such a waste just to throw them away. I love the new card you made out of them. So pretty! And thoughtful, especially with the little heart representing the daughter. ~Xiomara of Equis Place
Adorable. And I love the thought you put into each creation. Speaks volumes about you love for your friends and family. :)
Such a fabulous card and so creative to use something that you have to create it.
Great way to recycle and I have a lot of pretty papers myself which I would love to reuse. Thanks for the the idea and I think I'll try it out! Fabulous card too btw! :)
Nothing wrong with recycling! Love the card and the hearts!
That's such a smart idea! (I hope to do something similar since I saved most of the "fronts" to our wedding cards, but as of yet I just have a big pile of colored cardstock!)
I love how the hearts pop out!!
