Seize the Birthday - Add a Heart

 Hello friends.  It is Thursday and time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday.  I am the hostess this time and since it is the day before Valentine's Day, I thought "Add a Heart to your card" was the perfect topping.  Of course, if your not into our "Topping" it can be our usual "Anything Goes" birthday.  

After looking through my many heart dies and stamp sets, I finally settled on this one from Poppystamps - Floral Lace Heart Split Border die.  I have had it for quite some time but this is the first time I have used it and I really like the results.  After die cutting it from white card stock, I embossed it with SU Subtle EF (ret.) and then mounted it to a Pretty in Pink card base.  I found these cute flower dies (Spellbinders Petite Floral Potpourri) that are similar to the ones in the heart so I die cut two of them from the Pretty in Pink and mounted them on the edge of the heart, adding 3 die cut leaves from the same set.  I added a rhinestone to the centers for a little bling.  The sentiment is from a SU set, as is the die used to cut it.  I put it back in the die to shorten it some and then mounted it with foam tape.

I will add this to Darnell's NBUS as this is the first time using the heart border die. 

and to the Double D Challenge - Hearts theme

Now check out all the great cards by the team and our party guests over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope you will join us in this fun challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

JoAnn
