Or hearts???? I got this vision in my head the other morning and wanted to turn it into a card. Have you ever seen a design in your mind and while you are trying to create it you think..... "What was I thinking???" LOL That happened to me on this one!!!
When I saw the new
Sugar Blossom kit by Quirky Twerp, I fell in love with the pretty papers, and this design is what popped into my mind. I didn't really plan out how I would get all those hearts onto the card. But I knew I wanted to feature each of the gorgeous papers equally. So the over zealous organizer in me took over.
I cut the hearts and placed them in individual little ziplock bags sorted by paper. I then numbered each bag 1 through 12 (there are 12 papers in that kit). This way I could apply the hearts in a pattern and have each paper represented equally. Crazy, huh?
Then I sat with a pair of tweezers and adhered each heart. All 89 of them! And you know what? It was a really relaxing task! See? Paper crafting really is cheaper than therapy!
I stitched the background papers using my sewing machine, stamped the sentiment and
voilà, a beautiful Valentine card with heart, or hearts in this case, was created!!!
Ingredients:
Digital kit: Quirky Twerp
Paper: Epson Premuim Presentation Matte
Ink: Colobox, Stampin' Up!

I think it's cute that you were so organized and felt you needed to represent each paper! That is RIGHT UP MY ALLEY. I love organization and this turned out super cute. :-)
