Valentine Post - Cheery Lynn Style

I have wanted to make one of these for awhile. Maybe you have seen a round one of these somewhere, but I haven't! I love the way it has turned out: Here's what I am talking about.

My LOVE banner.

Here is a close up of each letter. I used some large letters I had and on each letter I used the OPTIMISTIC font dies to spell LOVE.

The heart buttons are from the BUTTONS5 set. The ladybugs are from LADY BUG FRAME.

The backgrounds and base are made up of the CIRCLE - SCALLOPED STACKERS
and the ITALIAN FLOURISH DOILY. Let me pause a moment to say here, that the ITALIAN FLOURISH DOILY, just might be the best die in the world. I am so in love with this doily die!

My flowers are my own made up version of the roly poly's you see everywhere. But you have not seen those roly poly's paired with these beautiful leaves from the DIMENSIONAL LARGE LEAVES #1 collection.

There you have it! My Valentine's Day banner!

As long as we are on the topic of Valentines, I want to share a terrific card I made. This card could not have been made without the precise cuts from the dies called WITTLE WEAVERS.

To better understand how I made the base for this card, here is an image of the WITTLE WEAVERS. They are 1/2 inch wide inch strips by 5 1/2 inches long.

Here is my card:

Here is a side view to see the dimension.

Hopefully I have inspired you! There is still plenty of time to create things for Valentines. Get your dies, paper and glue out and make something fabulous! This has been your Cheery Lynn designer JEANNIE, hope you all make a great day!
