Valentine’s Day Inspiration – Blog Hop
Hi there
It is only 2 weeks until Valentine’s Day, so the ‘Art with Heart’ team are giving you a load of Valentine inspiration with the first of what will be a monthly Blog Hop on the last day of the month. The Art with Heart team lead by Claire Daly, is a group of more than 80 Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from across Australia. If you would like to be part of this supportive group of talented paper crafters email me for more details.
You may have come from Di Dunk’s blog, but if not, you can join the Blog Hop from here by clicking on the link to the next blog at the bottom of this post. We hope you will visit each of the 12 blogs to see the wonderful creations we have to show you! If you leave a comment on every blog and then email Nikki at nikki@inkyart.com.au, your name will be put into the hat to win some beautiful Blog Candy. You have until 6am ESST on 3 February 2010 to leave your comments and only those who are not Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators are eligible to win the Blog Candy. Now settle in for the ride and be inspired to make something special for your Valentine this year.
The card I have for you is simple but vibrant using black, white and red card stock with the heart image from the Always stamp set. The heart has been embossed white on Basic Black card stock and then embossed black on Whisper White card stock and cut out. The white heart has been popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The jumbo pewter eyelets were set with the fabulous Cropadile. The sentiments are from the Chit Chat Rub-ons currently in the Summer Mini catalogue. If you would like to order any Stampin’ Up! products to create this project, please contact me. Here it is with the full details below.

Beautiful Judy, love the colour combination and that bow – I am very envious of anyone who can tie a good lookin’ bow! Thanks for taking part in the first hop.
Vibrant indeed! Love it. Those rub ons look fantastic.
Wow Judy! I love this card! Love the colours!
I really really really like this card, very sophisticated. Thanks for sharing, Erica xx
Striking is truly the word that comes to mind – that heart in black and white is perfect! Very nice job Judy.
Judy, what a WOW factor card!!! I love it, everything stands out together perfectly..nothing on its own, I love it, I love it!!
This, my friend, is EXQUISITE. I love the clean lines (a Judy staple!), but especially love the colours (and not a dot of pink in sight)!!
The word striking has been used so much here so I am afraid to use it again. But striking seems to fit so perfectly. I absolutely love your card Judy. Fantastic Job. Kris xx
Hi Judy, another wonderful creation from you, I love the ribbon and the eyelets.

Hi Judy…..it’s amazing how you girls all come up with something different. Lovely!
Kind Regards

Lover thisd card Judy and love the black, red and white colour theme for Valentines. Beautiful.
I am amazed how some of the team members used the Always stamp set yet all your cards look different. They all still look beautiful, it just shows you how good the set really is and how good all of you are.
Judy, What a striking card, I hadn’t thought of using this Stamp set with such bold colours!

Black, white and red = just stunning. Now that’d look perfect with a bunch of red roses don’t you think!!
