Happy Valentine’s Day

I saved a couple of valentines to share on Valentine’s Day. First off, my valentine for Caleb. I wanted to try a technique that I’ve seen online, and it worked well. I don’t know if it has a special name. The front of the valentine is very plain.

I love the lightbulb with the heart from a very old Simon Says set Watts Up.  The punny sentiment which I thought Caleb would enjoy is also from an older Simon Says set, Light Me Up.

There’s a little heart “pull me” tag, and when you do, the colored light bulb is revealed.

The frame is from the My Favorite Things A2 Rectangle Frames set. I’ve never separated the dies in that set, so when you die cut them all, you get the wider frame and a narrower one between. For this card I put one of the narrow pieces as well as the regular frame together as neither was quite wide enough to let the slider go in and out easily.

Another purchase from my win at Simon Says was the XOXO Border die. I die cut it twice, once in red and once in pink, added them to a black border and another quick and easy valentine was created.

The tiny red heart was die cut with Hero Arts Infinity Hearts and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink’s Keep It Simple: Valentine.

This card is off to two different challenges: The Four Seasons Challenge where the moodboard includes a valentine, and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge where the challenge is “Fun With Dies.”
