Card: Getting Ready for Valentine's Day!

Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post! I realized the other day that Valentine's Day is just a short 22 days away! What?! So today I got started on some Valentine's crafting! I pulled out some oldies but goodies and combined them with one of our more recent stamp sets for today's Valentine's Day creation. 

And here is today's project...

So this is one of those "everything but the kitchen sink" cards! I love it when I can just have fun by adding...and adding...and adding! A sweet combination of die-cuts, punches, twine and embossing come together to create this standard A2 Valentine beauty.  I started with a base of Real Red cardstock and then layered with a sheet of Vellum and From My Heart Designer Series Paper.  Layered on top of that is a fun selection of hearts in all different shapes and sizes.  Don't forget to use your mini-dimensionals to create that 3-D look! I even pulled out the old embossing tool today and worked up the lovely "Lovely You" sentiment surrounded by From My Heart gems.  Check out some close-ups below...
