Host Mary Gunn FUNN had Amy Schrock (@amyswares‬) as her guest. Amy loves stencils and does 3 regular weekly YouTube videos. Check her channel out at the link furnished, if desired. The wheel was particularly nice to us, including landing on the fave A2 card format that Amy was hoping for!! Mary & Amy made some really cute toaster cards using products from Trinity Stamps (for National Toast Day, celebrated the last Thursday in February).

• Project - A2: I used a premade A2 card base.
• Colors - Valentines: I did red & pink, plus neutral white & a Valentine pattern.
• Element - February: I went the "celebration of the month"* route.
• Random - Metallic or Foil: I used metallic cardstock on a heart & sentiment die cut.

I still have loads of Valentine stuff laying around & decided on hearts, given February is *American Heart Month. Of course, anyone who knows me has heard how much I love hearts!! I used the same Hero Studio kit from the birthday card I shared on my Valentine's Day post; I just skipped the shaker part. Definitely no time for that during the show, given how slow I am with my foam tape!!

I die cut a metallic red heart to put atop the ray textured background (instead of using it to die cut a window). Then I added a patterned die cut heart & a solid pink (same as background) die cut heart. Added the panel to a premade mint A2 card. Next I die cut a metallic With Love sentiment, plus two white ones (for dimension & shadow) & the white hearts from the same set. Added to the card - done!! Very quick and easy. Guess I could've shown some love to one of the other sentiments in the set - "Love You" or "Be Mine" - oh well....

I'm curious which card you like better - this one or the shaker? Feel free to let me know in the comments!! And if you like the shaker - what are you waiting for?? Get your shaker card (including use of a die cut or embossing folder) into our February Die Cut Diva Challenge!! We'd love to see you in the gallery!!

That's it for today - have a crafty weekend!!
