Pals Blog Hop: Your Love Language
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month’s theme is “The Language of Love.” We hope our creations inspire you today! The lineup at the end of my post will help guide you to all the Pals participating today.
What’s YOUR love language? A gift, a compliment, a warm touch of the hand or someone helping you with a task? It could be any or all of these things. For me, Acts of Service warms my heart. Cook for me, do a chore or help me with something I’m overwhelmed by. That will make me feel warm and fuzzy every time. Bonus points if it’s something the giver doesn’t really like to do, any time of the year, not just Valentine’s day. Today’s project is a card that can be given any time of the year.
To create this card you’ll use the Sale-A-Bration “Heart Shaped” Bundle (Free with a $120 purchase) and small pieces of patterned paper from “Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper”. If you like pretty paper that looks like it has been water colored and dry embossed, you’ll love Everyday Happiness DSP

Just popped back (my previous comments seems to be missing) as we realised that your entry is ineligible at Allsorts as it’s back dacklined.

Brenda,
Thank you for your comment but I’m a little confused. What does “Back Dackline” mean?
Rae

Oh my goodness, this is just lovely. I really like your soft colors, and your design is perfect. I think I might have to pin this for future reference, I love it. Lots of wonderful work here, and great take on the challenge. Thanks for playing along with us over at A Cut Above, I hope we see you back again soon.

Beautiful! Love the layered wreath with the darker die cut shadowing the lighter. Very pretty colors and design. Thanks for sharing with A Cut Above’s February, “Anything Goes With A Die Cut” Challenge.
Thank you Vicki
Thank you for the beautiful card!!! Love it! (FRANCE)
You’re welcome and thank you for your lovely comment.
Rae… this card is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Dell.
Hi Rae! Your card is gorgeous! And you are right…it is for any time of the year! I am with you as far as “Love Language”…I’d rather have help with a task and spend time together rather than a gift any day of the week! Thanks for sharing your talent!
Thank you Jeanie!
I love your pretty card, Rae! The designer paper is a great background. I need to remember the dimensions for using scraps, which I can never seem to throw away. Have a wonderful rest of your week, my friend!
Thank you Debbie.
Love your card! I like when space is split up like this. Your layering makes it easy for each piece to look matted. Not everything for Valentine’s Day has to be shades of red.
Thank you Trish
Really pretty card! I love the colors and that it’s not the typical red/pink for Valentines. Especially nice for a guy.
Thank you Terri.
Beautiful card and love how you used the DSP!
Thank you Windy.
Rae, I love this card using the pretty Everyday Happiness DSP and heart. Enjoy your day!
Thank you Hilda
Your card is absolutely beautiful! The colors are perfect and the instructions are appreciated.
Thank you Gigi.
