Now how about some Valentine’s Day inspiration????

Design Team Member Debbie Standard has a fun card for us today. Nothing screams Valentine’s Day hearts and glitter, don’t you think? I love the pink and gray combo.

AND we aren’t done yet! Guest Designer Leeann Pearce is here with us again with just the coolest layout! If you are familiar with Leeann’s work she always has uber amounts of texture and depth to her projects and this one is no exceptioan! All I have to say is that kebab sticks aren’t just for grillin’ Here is a little bit about this layout from her:

Hello core fans…. I hope you are all well after another successful CHA. I hope you are all ready to share the LOVE this month. I am, that’s why today I get to share another fabulous page with you featuring none other than CORE!!!!

I created this page using jenni Bowlin core collection – I used the wallpaper print, as a matt and background. I didn’t sand it I really love the natural embossed texture. Plus I wanted to let you all know how I made my heart embellishment.

How too heart paper softie:

1: cut out oversize heart shape and sand

2: punch holes in one heart

3: hand stitched to heart shapes together

4: leave small opening and stuff with plastic bags (tissue paper or batting would work here, too)

5: make arrow and thread thru before stitching closed

6: embellished and glue to page.

Tip: Stuff your heart with chocolates and give to LOVED ones.

Material: Jenni Bowlin Core Impressions, Heidi Swapp buzz words, prima vines, epiphany crafts vintage settings and bubble caps, kebab stick and feathers.
