I don't know about you…but the day I see the calendar turn to February I immediately think of Valentines Day! I have such fond memories of being a child and loving to swap Valentines at school…it was fun to get together with other "girls" and see the ones the "boys" sent to us! Great memories!
I simply could not get this beautiful card out of my head! I went to Stampin' Ups Leadership Convention in January and I saw this spectacular card on display and you bet my camera took lots of pictures…but then the best possible thing happened – I was able to take a break out class with the dymanic Stamper that made this…Connie Stewart! Connie has this super cool and fun appraoch to her card making and I have enjoyed watching her videos!
This truly is a super simple card to make and the WOW factor is there! I just wish you could see it yourself as no matter how many pictures you take….seeing and feeling it in person is simply the best…but the great news is – YOU CAN DO IT TO!!!
The main body stamp comes from the You Are Loved Stamp Set…it is beautiful and has so many possibilities as well as the NEW stamp set featured in the Spring Catalog –Hearts of Flutter ( and just do it….BUY the bundle!!!) not only will you save money but you will also love simplifying your frustrations of cutting….a crank thru dear old Big Shot and you are good to go!I truly do not know what makes my life easier – the Big Shot or the Stampin' Trimmer.
Using Connies Techniques and then adding a bit of my own - I was thrilled with how this card turned out! The little hearts peeking out are so darn cute and then on the inside I used the framelit of the big heart…..ran it through with the Lacy Brocade Framelit…popped it and added a sweet sentiment and voila ….DONE! I just had to add a little pearls to the flowers on the stamp cause…..pearls ARE a girls best friend! My signature finishing touch that I do on all of my cards is a lined envelope….a card is just not the same without that finishing touch and the polka dots are perfect and fun!
I am going to be making this card at my next "stamp a stack" – I would love for you to come…we will be making 12 cards in total….( 3 each of 4 designs!!!) Super easy + Super fun = A Rewarding Time! I am the very 1st to know how precious our time is – but trust me….there IS a way that you can be fulfilled with making YOUR own gifts from your heart!
