It's all about the HEART

It's all about the
HEART...

Okay... it's going to rain in a few minutes and I hope that I am not cut off from getting this up...  it looks like quite a storm... 
 
I had a time with this challenge.. HEARTS....
Frilly and Funkie


I made a couple of things with hearts... and they went into that pile... the one not to use now pile... LOL.
Finally I realized I had to make a birthday card for our son... and then the whole project took on another whole dimension for me..

And this is what I came up with...

 
Our sons favorite color is RED...  so the tag is with
hearts that are red... 
 



 
Using the Tim Holtz heart stencil, I put hearts all over a piece of paper... then I cut it to size and put it onto my tag...  the tag is not an ordinary tag... it is a tag card...  one that opens.. 

 
Here you can see the hearts... and I stamped and also roughed up the edges and colored the whole thing... having fun all the way...  yikes I am covered in red... 

 
I cut a heart out on the front of the tag and then covered it up with a Martha Stewart heart punch ....  love it... 



I used a corner punch and fancy punched out the front panel of this also ... and then using an old... ancient die of at least 10 years old... maybe more???  from Provo craft... that says Love You... 

I used distress stains to color it all... 


This is the inside of the tag/card...

As you can see I also put a heart on the inside panel... to match the one on the front... 

Then some hugs and kisses... 

Then a pocket full of LOVE... 
filled with all kinds of hearts... I used a sizzix die cut... 



I cleaned and re-organized my studio the other day... and I found all kinds of really great dies... so I am going to start to use them...  why not... I loved them once... and still do... they to me are the BASICS of paper arts...  very practical in so many ways... 



 
I edged the hearts in black archival ink... and also used some barn red on the hearts...  all kinds of red fun... 
 
I think it is all about hearts... the love of hearts... and hearts GALORE.... 
 
I know that I have another one on the way... a little bit different... but this tag is for the Frilly of Frilly and Funkie...  Funkie is coming up...  yeah for both sides... 
 
Love it all.. 
 
Okay... so there you have it... 
Hope you have a nice day... thanks so very much for stopping by for a visit... and hope to see you tomorrow...  been really busy around here...  getting things ready for the fall season... love this time of pretty colors... don't you??? 
 
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

  2. Oh Bonnie you got me - we try to give our sons so much but in the end our love is the best gift of all. From the front your tag card looks beautiful, but open it up and that joy unfolds even further with the pocket full of love. I bet your son will be thrilled to bits with this. Thank you so much for joining us at Frilly and Funkie again. Jenny x

  5. This is such a wonderful gift/card/treasure you made for your son! I take it hearts are not your thing...but you sure stepped up to the plate and gave them your own special, artsy, loving touch. What a treat to see! I agree with the great colors of this seasonal change, but we have so little fall color here on the coast. The dogwoods are starting their change a little late this year, but they are so beautiful, and with the berries they form, we start to get all sorts of wonderful birds, too! Fall is my favorite--I know it's beautiful in that part of the state. Looking forward to your funkie heart piece!

  6. Oh my goodness, Bonnie! Your son is going to love his birthday card! Truly, you have put so much love into the creation of this 'pocket full of love' tag card. There are hearts galore. At first I thought the fabulous front of the tag was the complete project, then was taken completely by surprise when it opened to reveal that marvelous pocket full of hearts. You have outdone yourself with yet another gorgeous creation and it is such an honor that you shared it with us at the Frilly and Funkie!
    Hugs,
    Nancy
