Welcome to the Sweetheart blog hop.
If you arrived here from Georgiana at Carson's Cricut Creations, you are in the right spot. If you just happened upon my blog today, you are in luck!! Please head back to Georgiana's blog so you won't miss a single project!
Today I have a "Love You" banner to share. This is the very first banner I've made and I just love how it turned out. My Anniversary is also on February 14th, so I like to make projects for Valentine's day that can represent both events we are celebrating that day. Here I have a 12 heart banner, strung together with an adorable off white lace.
The first half of the banner. |
The second half of the banner |
Here you can see the gel pen "stitching" and the Stickles I added to the scallops on the red heart. You can also see the adorable lace I strung the banner with. |
I added pop dots to the layer under the white hearts on the letters only. |
I made a total of five spacer hearts. All have the rhinestone accents but all are a little different. |
The scallop hearts are cut at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
And the off white hearts are cut at 4 1/4" x 4"
The letters are 2" (plus the matching shadow)
The rhinestones are from the dollar bin at Craft Warehouse
The "Stickles" are Studio G Glitter Glue
I used my Crop-a-Dile to punch the holes to hang the hearts
I also cut cardboard recycled from frozen pizza boxes (cereal boxes would work great too). The cardboard layers are behind the red scallop hearts and behind the off white hearts. It really adds a lot of rigidity to the whole banner. It sure is strong enough to put away and reuse year after year.
Here is the Gypsy cut file if you'd like it. Just two cartridges in use : Doodlecharms and Simply Sweet. I even rename all my Gypsy layers to tell you exactly which colors each layer is.

This is a really cute banner. It would be cute with the Cupid image from the Sweethearts cartridge in between the LOVE and You too. Unfortunately, I own neither of the cartridges you used so I can't use your svg file. I just became a follower of your blog today. I'm loving what I have seen so far!
