"Be Mine" Vintage Valentine

The new Cottage Cutz postage stamp die is one of my new faves. I love this shape! :) Here it is on a vintage looking card. I also used the heart shape from the heart locket die and the "be mine" stamp. The white rabbit image is a freebie digital design I found online and colored with copics. Pattern papers and polka dot brad on the ribbon are Making Memories.

Paper doily, pearls, buttons, ribbon and lace can add a vintage feel to almost any project, IMO. My motto for vintage is, add a little more if you think you have too much and then it will be just right! You can see I went a little nuts with the flowers, bling and pearls but I think it works!

Happy crafting!

Heart locket shaker

Hey peeps! More Valentine projects coming at you using the new Cottage Cutz Valentine release by the Scrapping Cottage. For today's project I've used the heart locket die to make my sweet Valentine shaker box. I love making shakers and this was a fun one! In addition to the heart locket die, I also used the cupcake2 die for filler along with the seed beads. The bitsy hearts with the beads inside the shaker are the sprinkles for the cupcake. :) Use on a layout or card, or give to your sweetie with a box of candy.

The key charm has been in my stash for eons and I thought it was the perfect touch with the scalloped heart. To make the lacy look, I used my push pad and a large sewing needle, punching holes all around the outside in each of the scallops.

Thanks for checking out the studio today!
