An Oldie But Goodie Valentine Collage

Leave a reply
Valentine Collage

The other day I was looking in the closet wondering if I had more Valentine decorations than I had found so far. I’m used to SO many decorations for Halloween and Christmas that one red and white plastic bag just didn’t seem like that could possibly be all I had for Valentine’s Day! It actually was pretty much true, but I did come across just a couple more things and one was this old Valentine Collage that I made some years ago! I don’t recall how many years ago! All I can say is that the famous Owl Punch was a thing as you can see in the last square and also that Pretty In Pink was a regular Stampin’ Up! color at the time!

I wondered if I had a frame the Valentine Collage would fit in because obviously it had been in a frame at one time. The backing was still underneath the collage in the closet. I probably swapped it out for a Christmas collage at some point. As luck would have it, I did find a nice white frame for it. I just had to trim down the outside edges a little bit. I think it had to be fate that I found this collage in the closet AND a frame to put it in for my Valentine decorating!

Valentine Collage Framed

Even though this Valentine Collage is way past its time, it can still provide inspiration for you to make something similar yourself for your home decor or even a gift for someone. You can make twelve squares or you can double-up two squares and make a rectangle in some of the spaces. Or put four squares into one big square! Whatever you like!

You might want to choose a frame first so you know what size to make your collage. You wouldn’t want to have to cut into or too close to your design. Maybe you would prefer a square shape. Lots of possibilities!

Think about making a fun, quick collage, maybe even a smaller one, for Valentine’s Day! You have time! Here’s an example of a smaller collage from twelve years ago!!

Or jump ahead To Easter if you like to plan ahead! Just have fun with it!

Pretty In Pink Heart Shaped Card

Pretty In Pink Heart Shaped Card

A very popular FREE product in the Sale-A-Bration promotion is the Heart Shaped Bundle. Sale-A-Bration is maybe Stampin’ Up!’s most popular promotion because you can earn a free product with a $60 purchase. For a larger order of $120, you can select a couple of different products, such as this Heart Shaped Bundle. This is a great Bundle to use for all-occasion cards or right now, Valentines.

This card has a Pretty In Pink card base. Pretty In Pink is one of the current In Colors, which I often forget about! The layer is Basic White stamped with Pretty In Pink ink around the edges with the trio of flowers stamp in the Heart Shaped Stamp Set. The white background seemed too bland so I decided to put at least a few flowers, some stamped off the edge, around each side.

The focal piece of the card measures 3″ x 4″ with a Pretty in Pink layer of 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. I started off making this card horizontal and changed my mind. You can design it either way. The heart-shaped wreath is diecut with the Heart Shaped Die. Don’t get the “Heart” sets mixed up! I couldn’t find this wreath die in the package and looked all over for it. It turned out I was looking in the Hearts of Elegance Dies instead of the Heart Shaped Dies! I was so relieved that I hadn’t lost it!

The wreath is diecut out of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. If you remember, it would be useful to put an Adhesive Sheet on the back of the cardstock before you diecut it. Then you don’t have to put the tiniest dots of glue on the back of all the leaves and edges. But I admit, I never remember the Adhesive Sheets until after I diecut the piece! The flowers are diecut out of Pretty In Pink. You can make the petals curl up a little bit befor adhering to the card.

The greeting is in the Heart Shaped Stamp Set. If you stamp it right on the card front, stamp it before you glue down the wreath and flowers just in case the stamping doesn’t go well! But really, if you messed up the stamping, you could just cut out a label shape to stamp on and then adhere that over the messy stamping. There is always some way to fix mistakes! But chances are, you will stamp it just fine.

For a little embellishment, I used the Party Dots. These come in three colors – Peach Pie, Pool Party, and Pretty In Pink. I added the Peach Pie dots to the flower centers and added two extra Pretty In Pink dots next to the greeting. These are great because they are pretty flat and don’t cause a problem mailing the card.

There are new Sale-A-Bration products to earn coming on Tuesday, February 4th!
