Hi!  Will you be mine?  That's one of my favorite Valentine's Day sentiments each year.  Do you have a favorite Valentine's sentiment, one you that you consider your go-to sentiment? 

Today I am going to share cards using ONE sentiment three different ways.  Sometimes it's hard to find time to create several different designs, all with different sentiments, during holidays, so I thought it would be fun to share three different card designs using one sentiment.



On my first card, "be mine banner", I wanted to create a banner using some of the newest designer tapes released at Winter CHA.  You will LOVE these colors and patterns, they are bold and fresh!  I chose to use my Cameo to cut the "Banner Hearts" by Lori Whitlock and the "Be Mine Title Single Fold Square Card" by Jamie.  I love these two Cameo cuts so much and wanted to incorporate them on a Valentine card this year.  I wanted to use white card stock so as to bounce the fun colors and patterns in the tapes and enamel dots.

Supplies: Collectable:Journey patterned paper,'Unforgettable' decorative tape,'I'm With' enamel dots;Decorative Tape Sets: Red & Turquoise decorative tape;Misc:Cameo, machine stitching, hand-stitching, white cardstock

After adhering the banner to the designer tape strips, I hand-stitched the banners and add an enamel dot to each to add to the fun of the banner.  I also decided the sentiment needed a couple of little white hearts to pull the dimension, top to bottom, together.

On my next card I decided to use the negative from the Cameo cut and back it with some patterned paper. I added some hearts, stitches and more enamel dots for another playful spin on the sentiment


Supplies: Collectable:Journey patterned paper,'Unforgettable' 6 x 6 designer pad,'I'm With' enamel dots;  Misc:Cameo, machine stitching, hand-stitching, white cardstock

On my last card, I thought there might be some that would like to play with the sentiment that do not use a Cameo.  So I did a little research online to find these cute chalkboard sentiment downloads here: Chalkboard Printables, 

To create my block of "black patterned paper" I adhered strips of the black designer tapes to a block of cardstock.  I really like the look of the patterns of black tapes and couldn't wait to adhere the chalkboard sentiment.  The sentiment looks so fun against the tapes and I am going to try one of the chalkboard sentiments against the red tapes next :)
