Today is the start of a special event! Di's friend Darnell from across the pond has initiated a surprise Blog Hop to thank Di for the SEVEN years she has managed the Snippets Playground where we go to share our use of those bits of paper left over from past projects, and generally have an amazing and fun time! Di and the gang are so supportive and it's always a pleasure to visit there.
I used an Inka Gold Smooshed background from my stash, cut it down and
used an old punch to get that decorative edge.
The hearts were left over from a project a couple of years ago and the die cut sentiment
was cut from another snippet of Inka Gold Smoosh.
I used two hearts and glued the center of one atop the other then lifted the edges
of the top one for some dimension.
The love is stacked for added dimension.
Thanks for doing this Darnell! What a wonderful idea to honor a
lovely and generous lady!
The Blog Hop for Di is over at Darnell's Blog
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Bonnie, I can't believe you still have that gorgeous snippit. It looks like fabric with the shading from the inka gold :) Wonderful card to celebrate Di's 7th year in snippits playground :)
Beautiful hearts and a stunning background, I love it!
Lace and pearls and red make this a stunningly romantic Valentine, Bon-Bon! I love how you doubled that heart like a butterfly and stacked your love! Thank you for participating in this surprise thank you hop for our Miss Di! See you over at the Playground!! Hugs, Dolly

Wow, you just jolted me into the fact that Feb. and V. Day are around the corner...and what a beautiful card to get motivated. Love the stacked heart and sentiment...the use of a border punch...and the pearls and the precious flower embellishment. So feminine! Also, looks like the card base might have been run through a PTI Impression Plate. Ahhh, all those magic Bonnie touches working together so beautifully.
Beautiful card Bonnie and a great one to honor Di! I am loving your inka gold background but it is that heart that has stolen MY heart! lol It is so beautiful. Hugs, Brenda
Wow! This is GORGEOUS, Bonnie! That Inka Gold background is stunning. So beautifully feminine from the pinked edging to the lacy heart to the pearl accents. Fabulous tribute to the incredible Di. xx
Gorgeous card Bonnie. I love the red smooshed strip with the pretty border. That layered heart die cut is so pretty. Love how you layered it too. Thanks for sharing this beauty. Have a great week.
A Beautiful card.

Oh Bonnie ... this is so beautiful. What a wonderful way to send love to Di ... she is going to love this card! xx
What a stunning Valentine! I don't have red Inka Gold but might have to get some as you have created such a gorgeous rich background with it. And I love the double layered lacy heart!
This card is outstanding, especially the red you used and the pearls, too.
You've dressed this valentine up in its finest, Bonnie. That red is gorgeous and layering the heart is such a terrific idea. I have that die and am pulling it out to CASE your card.
What a beautiful and pretty card. Great use of those snippets and do so love the fabulous die cut heart x A great way to celebrate your friend Di x.
This is a gorgeous card!
The background is so vibrant
and the heart die cuts are so
delicate.
This is stunning!
Beautiful! Love the rich red background and love that heart die! Not only is it fabulous but I love how you double stacked it yet left the edges free for dimension. That was imaginative. Terrific Valentines card.
Gorgeous card Bonnie, that smooshed background is stunning, like you I always hang onto tiny craps of smooshedness...always great for backdrops and die-cuts. A great tribute to Di!
Wow Bonnie, this is really such a beautiful elegant snippets card xx
That is a brilliant way to show of the double die cut. There are no end of new ideas (and things to do with snippets of card). It looks fantastic against the red. x
So elegant!

This is so lovely, Bonnie! The layered white lacy hearts pop beautifully against the red Inka Gold background. The little heart edging, the small pearls, and the tiny rose embellishment are super pretty additions.
A fantastic card to celebrate Di's accomplishment by using these great snippets!

Beautiful card, great use of snippets. Emma
Your snippets heart card is just beautiful Bonnie. Only just joining in the fun in the playground, having read Darnell's fab idea to thank and celebrate Di's seven year as 'headmistress'... looking forward to using up some more of my snippets stash.
A gorgeous snippets card for a lovely lady!
Such a beautifully designed card. The amazing thing is that it was made of scraps :-) A great way to honor Di's work and her blogBożenA xx
Your floating hearts against the intense Inka Gold smoosh are simply sublime. I have got to get my edge punches out again. How quick we forget all the inventory we possess. Love all the embellishments on this beauty definitely filled with love!
Stunning card!
