If you like punching, this Country Bouquet Punched Hearts Valentine is for you! Just grab some cardstock or designer paper and start punching hearts to your heart’s content! January is just about over (who would have thought?!) and February will be here next week so it’s time to be making lots of Valentines!
This card uses Shimmery White cardstock for both the card base and the layer. I could have added a colored layer underneath the Shimmery White layer, but sometimes I like the white-on-white look. I love the Shimmery White cardstock because it really does have just a tiny bit of shimmer that you can see up close.
Then I chose several colors to use for the hearts. I used Flirty Flamingo, Blushing Bride, Highland Heather, Pool Party, So Saffron, and Soft Sea Foam. Some hearts I used from one side and some from the other to get them going in different directions. The Country Bouquet Punch punches a large heart but also a smaller one at the bottom so I also got a collection of small hearts. That gave me the idea to fill in the spaces with small hearts! There still was some empty space that I thought could use something. I got out the matching Dark Stampin’ Blends and used the bullet tip to make three dots randomly around in the empty spaces. You wouldn’t have to do this step but it just added a little extra color.
I used a greeting in the Country Bouquet Stamp Set, which you can purchase as a Bundle with the Punch. It is stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink on Shimmery White. I diecut it with a banner die in the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then to have a little extra layer without covering too much of the card, I diecut the smaller banner and layered the greeting on top. The whole thing is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
And why not add a few Heart Pearls on the card with punched hearts all over it?! It’s almost always good to add a little bling or sparkle!
Hope you like this valentine idea that you can make easily with the Country Bouquet Punch!
