Can You Make a Valentine from THAT Stencil Print?

Valentine's Day, for me, means making cards ... and I get a lot of fun out of developing cards with stencil-prints not normally associated with this holiday that celebrates love.

Above:  Central heart cut from a print made with Quilted Flower Garden.

Quilted Flower Garden measures 6" x 6" and looks like this in its entirety --

The rest of today's red-and-white print was used in making another card, shown below ...

The central red mini-heart was created with one of the paper-crafting  shape-punches by Marvy.

The greeting card blanks that I've used here came from JamPaper.com, but this company no longer offers a 6" x 6" greeting card blank in the metallic white version I'm showing here.  Other colors are still available in this size at JAMPaper.

Below is another paper printed with the help of a stencil -- this time, I used part of my 9" x 12" Swatton Borders # 2 Stencil.

The right edge of this red-and-white print will be cut into hearts with my Marvy heart punch.  The hearts will be collage elements on Valentines; the caption on each card will read,  "You hold a key to my heart."

Below you can see, in its entirety, Swatton Borders # 2 Stencil. ...

The above stencil is one in a series of three 9" x 12" borders stencils that I've designed.  To make them easier to use, I've cut each stencil into three separate strips.
