Mixed Media Valentine Tags
Valentine Craft Week might never end. I might name 2014 the Year of the Pink Heart and continue riding it, waving the love banner high, disappearing into the sunset. Or I might tire of hearts (even though that sounds unlikely right now).
After sewing valentine postcards last week, I continued sewing hearts, but small tag-sized ones!
I simply created them as a layered cake. Bottom layer (the tag) is cut from one of my many painted background papers, then layered with this textured synthetic fiber material that a friend brought me, and then topped with a heart that I sewed on with the sewing machine. Yummy, right?
It’s like the never ending saga!
Mix and Match Valentine Sewing! Dive into your stash of papers, pick and choose. Layer, cut, stitch and play around with your favorite colors. No need to measure anything! Here’s what I got so far:
For more heart, check out the mixed media Valentine Cards I finished last week, our heart doodles and one astray heart in the first page of my miniature journal.
Thanks for letting me share this project (so fun to photograph and make) with you! Have a great day!
What beautiful ATCs, Hanna! Happy Valentine’s Day!
These are gorgeous! – Irma
Uber sweet Hanna…..love your stitched goodness. xox
Hanna these are sweet sweet sweet. There’s something so yummy about stitching. I didn’t stitch any of mine this year. But now I feel like continuing them so I can stitch!
Off to check out your previous posts…
(I’m not blogging right now. May not go back. Kind of sad.)
Lovely. Thanks for all the great ideas. I think we should make it a heart year. I’m doing 28 days of cards with hearts as part of my 365 Days of Making Art. 1 card behind at the moment.
Keep hearting on! You’re obviously good at it and love it, what more could you want? ;-)
I love that long heart look. Gotta try that – most of my heart are… plump! {:-D
Love these! The stitching looks really nice. :) I only recently realized my sewing machine does more than one stitch, so maybe I’ll have to try this!
These are lovely! I love the stitching and all the bright pink color on your blog this month.
Despite the fact that I am not much into scrapbooking, journaling or playing with paper, I love visiting your space – filled with color and joy! Thank you for all the hours of thought and work and effort you put in to sharing what you love with all of us! HappyValentine’s Day!
These are great!!
