A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Hearts from Snippets

For the latest Snippets challenge, Diane says it has to be anything but Christmas.  That prompted me to make the first of several Valentine cards that I'll make this year.

I went through my pink scraps and pulled out this pile of snippets:


They were perfect for die cutting a series of hearts of various shapes and sizes.  I decided it worked well for a slimline card and I have the perfect long narrow script stamp to create a minimal background for the hearts.  I stamped the script in a pale pink and then the sentiment in a brighter pink that I heat embossed.  And then stuck my hearts on top in a slightly haphazard row.  A nice quick card that is great for using up snippets!
