Scrollwork Heart Circle Frame Valentines
by Anne Thompson

I recently made several valentines using the SCROLLWORK HEART CIRCLE FRAME die 94114, another of my favorite dies from the Valentine's Collection 2019.

These cards became quite three-dimensional when I started adding paper flowers.  Guess these will have to go into the gift bags with valentine goodies rather than mailing them!  

Card One:

• I began with a white side-folded notecard and covered the front with Memory Box Gingham paper.
• I cut the Scrollwork Heart Circle Frame from white cardstock.
• I used a glue pen to attach the heart circle first and then the pinpoint circle around it.
• I added tiny pearls in the oval bases between the leaf shapes.
• I then found a pink paper rose, some white stamens, and a pretty pink satin bow to add to the center of the circle.

• On the left panel inside the card I covered it with more of the gingham paper.  I used a glue pen to add the extra circle, one of the heart stems, and a single heart which all came from the Scrollwork Heart Circle Frame die cuts.
• On the righthand panel I added a piece of decorative paper and stamped "Love" from the Birch Press Design SENDING LOVE CL8126 clear stamps set.

Card Two:

• I used a pale pink textured paper for the die cutting.
• For this card I added miniature pink paper roses between each of the hearts in the circle and a cluster of three in the very center. 
• I then put tiny pearls in each of the hearts.

• On the left panel inside the card, you can see that I had some fun adding elements that cut from the die–the solid circle, both heart stems, and the six hearts.

Card Three:

• This time I made my card base from a textured pink paper and cut it  4 X 4 1/4.
• I cut the die using a darker pink cardstock and placed the center heart circle on the front of the card.
• I added some tiny pearls at the base of the design between each of the hearts, though they are hard to see because of so much foliage in the center.

• I added a rose print paper on the left panel and more of the gingham paper on the right.
• To finish the inside I added the two heart stems in opposite corners.
• This card could then be either a top-fold card or a side-fold card.

I love that the Scrollwork Heart Circle Frame gives me spaces to add some paper flowers.  I have soooo many in my stash!  And they are the perfect touch, along with the pearls, for really sweet valentines.

Happy Crafting!
