The only purchase I made for valentines this year was Concord and 9th’s Mix and Match Hearts. I started out die cutting many different colors of hearts which gave me a nice collection of not only hearts, but the frames for them as well. I played around with different layouts but ended up making three of the same design, but differing colors, for my three granddaughters here in Rochester.
It takes awhile to inlay all the hearts, but it’s worth the time. There is an accompanying stamp set which adds words to the hearts. I tried using multiple words, but ended up liking one heart with a word, layered with some dimensional tape.
You might notice a few pink hearts with some ink blending. I found a panel I had ink blended some time ago, and used it as one of the panels, and of course, got an array of ink blended hearts as well. You can see that panel in the last of the three valentines.
The sentiment on all three cards is from Simon Says Love You Greetings which I die cut with My Favorite Things Itty Bitty Strips.
Not surprisingly, there are multiple card challenges looking for hearts and valentines. These are off to four of them:
First up, Just Us Girls is looking for Heart Dies (plenty of those here!) I’m also sending these to Double D where the challenge is Hearts and to A Cut Above where Anything Goes with a Die Cut. And last, but certainly not least, it’s off to Darnell’s NBUS. For a change it didn’t take me long to put this die to use.
Three sweet cards for three sweet Granddaughters. The colours & hearts remind me of those candy hearts with Valentine words on them. 🙂
All three are awesome cards, your grands will love them! Thanks so much for joining our challenge at Double D! Diane DD Co-Owner

Hi Karen~ I love all your inlay hearts, especially the one with all the colors. Fabulous design!!! Lots of wonderful work here, and great take on the challenge. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at A Cut Above, I hope we see you back again soon. Also, I just wanted to let you know that over at A Cut Above, when I click on your entry it brings me to the Double D Challenge blog, not your blog here. You may want to try and fix that.

These are spectacular, Karen! I love the different colors on these cards. The inlaid hearts look amazing. That Mix and Match Heart plate is fantastic. I may need to add that to my stash. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above’s February, “Anything Goes With A Die Cut” Challenge.
These are so sweet, Karen! Definitely worth the time it took and great color choices! You’re so sweet to congratulate me on the JUGS win–thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing these fantastic cards with us at A Cut Above. I can only imagine how long it took to inlay all of those hearts but the results are truly worth it they look amazing.
