Love is still in the air....
Hi Everyone,
I made a valentine banner to teach at an event coming up at the store that I work at. The event is sold out but this banner would be very easy to make on your own. All of the heart dies work so well together! I used double sided scrapbook paper for this project so that it looks good if it hangs somewhere that the back will show. Both sides of the paper also show with the pocket on the "O".
The letters are all cut out of glitter paper using the new Large Upper Case Alphabet die (#98436).
The base for "L", "V" and "E" is the Grand Heart Die (#98254). "O" is the new Heart Pocket die (#98509). After it is folded, this die has the same footprint as the Grand heart die.
"L" has the Bella Bouquet die (#98472) under one of the hearts included with the Precious Heart Box die
(#98523).
"O" has a tag cut from the Cupid Heart die (#98281) tucked into the Heart Pocket. This heart pocket would also be really pretty on the front of a card.
"V" is another one of the hearts included with the Precious Heart Box over the Grand Heart.
"E" has the Bella Bouquet again to balance out the banner with the Precious Heart Box (#98523) layered over it. There is room in the pocket for a piece of chocolate but it keeps going missing :)
I used a standard hole punch to put a hole on each side of the hearts and then threaded a silky rose colored ribbon through them. This project came together very quickly because all of these dies work so well together.
All of the dies on the banner are from Memory Box.
This beautiful paper is Autentique's "Lovely" line.
The ribbon is from May Arts.
The glitter paper is from Best Creations.
Thank you for stopping by.
