{{if you’re already thinking about Valentine’s Day crafts, this is for you!}}
i whipped up this little “heart specimen” wall hanging yesterday…. and i will admit, after making it, i might be ready to start bustin out the cupids and conversation hearts :)
to make this: i used the a couple dies from Lifestyle Crafts new Sweetheart line and cut the shapes out with my Epic 6. i then used a tape runner to adhere the paper hearts to a white sheet of cardstock. then i used a Xyron to attach the arrow. {Xyron makes paper into stickers}. then popped it into a frame. super easy!
i’m sure many of you recognize the paper line….don’t we all just love Amy Butler?!! {swoon} i’ve had this paper pack for awhile and decided this was the perfect project for it. the colors and prints are a bit non-traditional for V-day, but i think they totally work!
i like how its sophisticated and modern. very trendy and cool!
this is the new Sweetheart line from Lifestyle Crafts:
i used the Nesting Hearts and Arrows dies.
*Lifestyle Crafts dies are compatible with other die cutting machines*

LOVE IT!! I don’t have an Epic 6, but I have a Cricut that cuts hearts! Just got to find some fabulous paper (and a sticker arrow!) I’ll be checking out Dollar Tree for a cute frame too!
So excited to try this!!!
I loved and pinned this idea! So great! Everyday I am excited to discover your crafts! Thanks for sharing.
I adore this! Thanks for the great idea. Great paper choices!
So pretty Linda! I am going to have to check out this Lifestyle crafts stuff. Sounds cool! Have a great week:)
I love this – love the hanger too. Where did you get the hanger if you don’t mind me asking?
Oh – and Happy New Year!
This is totally cute! Thanks for sharing!
HELLO!!! I love this idea and I’ve seen it done with butterflies quite often, but the hearts are perfect! I am actually going to get some Valentine decor done this year (and displayed!) if it kills me!! Thanks for the inspiration Lynda! I have a ton of shapes to cut on my Cameo and some frames lying around already! It’s like a free project! LOL!
So cute! LOVE the paper!
Love the papers! I need to find some cute papers to use…. Where did you get the frame?
Linda,
I was wondering how big the hearts are and what size is the frame. You come up with the best ideas.

P.S. Any new milk glass plates? When out thrifting, I keep an eye out but no luck so far.
Hi Maureen,
Thanks!! The hearts are about 1.33″ and the frame is 12×12″ made to frame a 9″x9″ picture. Does that make sense? I can’t believe you haven’t found any milk glass! That’s crazy! I run into milk glass vases and bowls all the time. The plates are a bit trickier to find here at least. You can also find milk glass on etsy. {but shipping can be a bit expensive}
thanks for stopping by!
happy crafting,
linda
Love this! Pinned it! Thinking of doing something similar with fabric.
thank you, Jenn! I appreciate the pin! It would be super cute with fabric too.
happy crafting,
