Elizabeth Craft Designs February Group Post - Valentine's Day Projects

 Happy Monday!

For February's Group Post it's all about Valentine's Day Projects. For this month's group post, I'm sharing this pretty Love Wall Hanging. To create my wall hanging, I've used dies from Els van de Burgt Studio, Joset Designs, the Planner Essentials Collection and the Paper Flower Collection. Grab a cup of your favourite beverage and read below as I have a tutorial for you so that you can re-create my Love Wall Hanging at home. You'll also want to make sure to stop by the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog to check out the rest of the projects.  


To start, you'll need some valentine's themed patterned paper. Die cut a 5" Scalloped Heart out of a piece of Valentine's themed paper. Die cut a 3 3/4" Scalloped Heart out of a piece of book page. Ink the edges of both hearts using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


You'll need another two coordinating valentine's themed patterned paper. Die cut a 4" Stitched Heart out of a piece of one of the patterned papers. Die cut a 3" Stitched Heart out of the other patterned paper. Ink the edges of both hearts using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Planner Essentials 20 - Half Heart Page Set, you'll need the Love word. Die cut the word out of a piece of valentine's themed patterned paper. 


The next three steps use the Floral 6 die.

Die cut the large flower three times, the medium flower four times and the small flower four times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Worn Lipstick Distress Ink over the entire surface of all of the flowers. Shape the flowers as desired. Add a large Glitter.Red/Gold Dot to the middle of each small flower.


Die cut the leaf three times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Forest Moss Distress Ink over the entire surface of the leaves. Shape the leaves as desired.


Die cut one the small flowers twice and the other small flower once out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.


From the Journaling Elements Stamp, you'll need the three hearts stamp. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Reapply ink to the stamp and stamp again on the same piece of cardstock. Fussy cut a total of five flowers. Ink the edges of all the hearts using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Adhere the 3" heart to the 3 3/4" heart. Foam square the 3 3/4" heart to the 4" heart. Adhere the 4" heart to the 5" heart.


Adhere the flowers together. Three of the flowers need a small, medium and large flower. The other flower needs a small and medium flower.


Adhere a leaf to the top right corner of the 3" heart.  Foam square the flower with the medium and small flower overtop of the leaf.


Adhere one of the leaves to the top left and bottom left of the 3" heart. Foam square the remaining three flowers in between the two leaves.


Adhere the three white flowers as desired in amongst the three pink flowers.


Adhere the five hearts as desired in amongst the flowers and the hearts.


Adhere the Love Word in between the two flower bunches.


To finish the wall hanging punch two holes at the top of the hearts. Tie a piece of white twine through the holes at the top of the hearts.


Here are a few closeups of the finished wall hanging.
