Cardmaking: Layered Rose Heart Valentine's Day Cards

My first creative love is cardmaking. I've written before how it makes my heart soar when someone receives a card and lets me know how much they like it and I'm honored whenever people display them as part of their annual seasonal decor. The post-office doesn't always love me, I'm sure, but I support them by buying stamps on stamps!

I love (pun intended) making cards this time of year because showing love to friends and family is also part of Valentine's Day. This year I chose a Layered Rose Heart SVG via my Creative Fabrica subscription. 

Supplies:

• 110 lb Cardstock (Recollections, Michaels)
• Valentine's Themed Papers (Sweethearts Day Stack, Michaels, last year)
• Coordinating Glitter and Foil Cardstocks
• Foam Dots
• Adhesive Tape Runner
• Embellishments

 

I usually pick up a new themed stack every year but I am also trying to be good and I still had plenty of sheets from this stack I bought last year. It includes printed transparencies,  as well as papers.

I cut the base layer of each heart from white cardstock and the other two layers from glitter and foil cardstock. 

My layer construction was solid white, then glitter, then foil, attaching the glitter layer with foam dots then the foil layer with glue using a fine tip on the bottle. 

I really like how the glitter layer peeks through!

I layered a paper panel, then a transparency panel, then my layered heart. 

Time to embellish! Since the cut of the heart was intricate, I wanted to keep it simple and had picked up these pink and red self-adhesive rhinestones from DAISO (Japanese Dollar Store!) and placed these as shown. Done!
