hugs and kisses...

I'm still playing with the paper mache hearts that I chalk painted last week.

I fell in love with this die as soon as I saw it. It looks exactly like the sterling ear cuff I wear! Which was what originally got me thinking- if I cut these dies out of metal, would they bend? Well if you saw last week's posts you already know the answer to that question- YES, they do!

It only takes very gentle manipulation to fit the curve of the heart. That, and a light hand with the adhesive! I've had the chip letters and the metal arrow for ages so I printed off an image and got to work finishing up the heart.

Crinkled seam binding in yummy Valentine colors always make for the perfect bow. If you aren't familiar with it, check it out here.

 My collection of hearts is growing!

I think I can safely say that this one is my absolute favorite!
