Happy Valentines Day projects by Corri & Amanda

Happy Valentines Day! or SAD (Single Awareness Day) as my teenagers would say. We hope no matter your situation you have a fabulous day! As always we are sharing some amazing projects. First up is the talented Corri, she says…

Happy Valentine’s Day!  I hope you all have a great day with the ones you love.

I have one last Valentine’s Day project to show you and I have to say I’m a little sad….I’ve had so much fun creating with the Love Story Collection from Echo Park, designed by Lori Whitlock.  

For today’s project, I made a simple card using two hearts from Lori’s 11 hearts set

I created the scallop mat by welding a border strip to a rectangle. I cut this adorable tall heart gable box to match.  This box is super simple to make….it cuts out has one piece. I added some chipboard embellishments from the Love Story collection.

Amanda has created this beautiful Valentines Day Box…

As it’s valentine’s day I thought I’d create and decorate Lori’s fabulous heart shaped box. I used some layered flowers and doilies on the lid for embellishment. I glittered the flower pieces and added a valentine’s border around the lid.
I used the Love Story papers and SVG Files used are:
3 doilies 3 
Heart Shaped box
Valentines borders 2 
5 layering flowers 

Valentine Treat’s by Mendi and Joy

Today Mendi is here sharing Lori’s Love Story paper collection and shapes. Be sure to check out her blog.

“Using the negative image of the Damask Hearts diecut that I had leftover from last week’s layout, I was able to create a quick Valentine’s Day card using Echo Park’s Love Story collection designed by Lori.   Of course no card is complete without some treats to go with it, right?  Lori’s new Heart Top Box immediately caught my eye and it was so much fun decorating it in papers to match.  A little bling and stitching for added interest and it was done!  Both these went together so easily and yet I think they will go a long way to brighten someone’s day!”

Next Joy is sharing an adorable project from the Love Story collection as well. She says…

This is so easy you’re going to love it.  I’m using Lori’s Valentine Tote file.  It’s a breeze to put together.  I cut it out using my Silhouette Cameo and Lori’s beautiful  Love Story paper.  I know I always say that it blows my mind that just a few pieces of paper can make a cool 3D project but I’m sayin’ it again!  It’s the coolest thing in the paper world to me.  This held four of my heart muffins and was really sturdy.  It’s perfect for treats for family and friends!  I have more photos and information about this project on my blog.

Valentine Goodies by Corri and Layout by Amanda

We would like to Welcome Corri to the blog today. Her blog is a great place for inspiration. You can check her out here everyday.  

Hi everyone!  It’s my turn up on Lori Whitlock’s blog today.  I have a pretty Valentine’s Gift set that I made using some of Lori’s new files.

 

I used Echo Park’s – Love Story collection that Lori designed.  I love the animal print papers mixed with the red and pink. So fun!

For my card, I used the base from this thank you card.  The  pretty scallop heart is from this set.  I framed it with this adorable polaroid frame.  I cut the new 3d bracket lid box  and embellished with another heart and a sticker from the Love Story Collection kit.

I also have a project from Amanda to share with you. The black line around the layout is for our benefit to show the edges of the layout. Make sure and check out the detail photo as well.

 

Supplies:
For the Record 2 papers and stickers by Echo Park

Thanks Amanda and Corri, these look great!
