Lifestyle Crafts Heart punches and a giveaway

I must have Valentine's Day cards on the brain or something!

I sure have created a lot of them for assignments lately.

For my Lifestyle Crafts February post I decided to create a couple of cards as well using the heart punches.

I really like the LC punches because they allow you to cut out so many shapes very quickly.

For these cards I used:

Lifestyle Crafts heart punches
Lifestyle Crafts Pocket Scrap Starter dies
We R Memory Keepers Inked Rose 6x6 pad
We R Memory Keepers red washi tape
We R Memory Keepers Gold Metallic Chevron Washi Tape
Sticky Thumb adhesive


I wanted to make a card base with rounded edges so I started off by using the largest of the rounded corner dies in the Pocket Scrap Starter Dies kit, using washi tape to hold the die exactly where I wanted it on my paper. 


I then cut hearts with the small heart punch and Inked Rose 6x6 paper pad


For this card I added strips of the Gold Metallic Chevron washi tape and layered hearts on top with foam adhesive


I added a shorter piece of white cardstock to the already-cut gray base and then cut thin strips of patterned paper, then trimmed the edges and added them to the bottom of my card. I added a few staples, a couple of hearts and a stamped sentiment (Amy Tangerine roller stamp from American Crafts). 

 

Have you ever tried the Lifestyle Crafts shape punches?

How would you like to win a set?

Take a look at the punches available here and I will choose one winner to receive the punch set of your choice. Leave a comment with the name of the punch set you would like to win and make sure that you leave a way for me to contact you in case you are the winner.

    So hard to choose, but it's a toss up between the circles or the hearts. Thanks for the chance!

    Gosh, I think the doily punches are amazing in their detail, but I think I'd use the chevron punches the most. It would work for boy or girl projects, and I find I'm using arrows a lot on my pages! Thanks for sharing your lovely cards, and thanks for the chance to win!

    Hi - I loved all of them but I think it would be between the Butterfly and Pennant.

    Oh gosh, so hard to pick just one. I'm leaning towards the Chevron or the Doily Punch Set. Can't wait to see who wins.
    Happy Valentine's Day !
