More details and links to the Made With Love Blog Hop and Part 2 of my Valentine Ensemble are at the end of this post!

We received some awesome cardstock from Core'dinations and it was fun to use them with some Hampton Art stamps!

I recently got a Silhouette and have been playing with it ever since! I'm not going to into a lot of details, just a few notes on how i made each part of the banner!

I used an embossing folder for the polka dots and used my Silhouette to cut the triangles. I also used it out the flowers and hearts.

For the letters, i first stamped and embossed some cardstock, then used the Silhouette to cut them out. I also stamped a arrow, a love circle and a ticket, those i cut out by hand!

I used some twine to string it up! Each flag is movable so you could space each flag out like this:

or push them together like this:

Hampton Art and Core'dinations are both having giveaways. You have until Sunday February 17th to leave a comment on each designers blog from the whole week AND both Hampton Art & Core'dinations have an extra giveaway when you enter the Rafflecopter on each of their blogs!!
