Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! And to celebrate I’m sharing the last of my Valentine’s themed projects. A fun home decor piece that you can easily put in a 6″ x 6″ frame. I love making projects like these for the different holidays and seasons! And the Adoring Hearts hybrid embossing folder makes this really easy! You just need to hold on to all the extra embossed and die cut hearts for future projects… or maybe you can use them like confetti.
To make the coloured hearts pop I wanted a neutral color for the ‘frame’. So I used Basic White for the inner frame and Basic Black for the mat behind it. For the hearts I used Cherry Cobbler, Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath, Balmy Blue and a little bit of gold foil.
To reduce the number of extra hearts you can put 3 strips of cardstock in the hybrid embossing folder. So you can get 3 different colours in one go. Or you can use a 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of cardstock for each colour and have a lot of extra hearts. I’ll leave the choice up to you. If you’ve never used a hybrid embossing folder before, check out my post that’ll tell you all you need to know here.
Once I had all my cardstock hearts, I added them to the frame using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The gold foil was added on top of a plain Cherry Cobbler heart using a Fine-Tip glue pen. I did my best to stagger the colours and designs of the hearts. And I think it turned out pretty good…
Now to find a frame. I think I might still have a frame from my Happy Houseplants kit. Otherwise it’s off to Michaels for me.
You can find everything you need to make your own version of this in my online shop, including the Happy Houseplants kit which you can earn for free as part of Sale-a-bration until February 28th.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
