There’s still one valentine I want to make, but I have all I need with a few left over. Not surprisingly there are a variety of challenges looking for heart-inspired cards. First up for me is a shaker card I made for Hannah.
This valentine is off to Festive Friday where I chose “pink, hearts, and something shiny!” I love the Honey Bee Fluttering Hearts Pierced Coverplate and used it on several valentines this year. This one was run through the die cutter with white shimmer cardstock from Papertrey Ink—much prettier than I can capture in a photograph!
I glued five Stitched Heart Frames from Papertrey Ink to create the shaker and filled it with some die cut hearts left over from the Honey Bee Fluttering Hearts Coverplate (some of which I coated with a glitter pen,) some shiny confetti hearts, and some clear sequins. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things Bitty Hugs and Kisses.
The next card was inspired by the negative die cut created for this card. When I die cut the arrow (The Greetery’s Heart Arrow) from the white shimmer cardstock, the negative created a perfect square card. I die cut the arrow from bright pink cardstock, inlaid it, added a narrow pink border, and layered them on a white card base.
The sentiment, embossed in silver on black cardstock is from The Stamp Market’s Tons of Type.
Die cutting the bright pink arrow left me with another negative, and I went rather dramatic with a black background.
This one definitely needed some sparkle, so I added some black jewels from Pinkfresh Studio and used the same sentiment as the last valentine.
I’m off to link up these to Inkspirational with a great Moodboard, Festive Friday where I picked pink, heart, and shiny, and the Double D Challenge: Hearts.

I have to say I really do love the Heart Arrow die, both as a negative and a positive. Your cards are so cute and the nontraditional colors are a nice change. I mailed a purple Valentine last week. A shaker card is fun to receive and to make. A whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on! Thanks for sharing with us in our Hearts Challenge at Double D!
What a gorgeous selection of cards. I am obsessed with the shaker card! I was blown away by the bright pink on black, too. What a gorgeous way to use the Greetery heart arrow die! So glad you joined us at Festive Friday this week

A fun trio of Valentines! I have two heart sets from the Greetery so I resisted the arrow heart this month. Bummer because your last two confirm it’s a showstopper and perfect for CAS cards.
These are ALL great! What a lot of Valentine cards you need to send … but more scope for your creativity!
Beautiful cards! Love the shaker card with the pierced heart background. Thank you for stamping along with the Festive Friday challenge
