Sharing a Valentine

 My friend Mary Anne sent me a Memory Box die and we decided to use it for each other's Valentine cards this year!  Here's mine for her:

supplies: white and grey cardstock, Doodlebug tiny floral dps, Memory Box Scrollwork Heart Circle Frame, sentiment from Tammy Tutterow (retired) Tiny Sentiments

This is a retired die from 2019; it cuts out all that you see, including 2 of the little wispy heart sprigs, plus a large stitched circle, which I didn't use this time.  I cut it multiple times to paper-piece in the hearts and "leaves", then affixed it to a 4 1/4" square card base and stamped my sentiment.  

Those heart sprigs are perfect for adding to a wreath.  You'll see that idea in an upcoming post. 

Here is Mary Anne's card that she sent to me - so elegant!

She used a red foil paper with gold marbling, red glitter paper (little heart sprigs), and both shiny and matte gold metallic papers for this beauty!

Mary Anne was the person that got me interested in making cards, about 20 years ago now, and she still inspires and teaches me today.  Thank you, my friend!
