This card features the Happy Hearts Embossing Folder and Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper as well as some punches from the Annual Catalog. I used Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo (1 row of hearts) and Pirouette Pink in my color scheme.
I used a lot of hearts - Hearts Border Punch, Sweetheart Punch, the heart from Itty Bitty Punch Pack, and the heart die from the Circle Card Thinlits Die. I used the Sweetheart punch to punch the big heart from the Stacked with Love DSP and then cut a small heart in the middle with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack heart. This made the perfect frame for a heart in the embossed background.
I stamped the sentiment on a strip of paper that is slightly narrower than the Note Tag Punch and then punched the end shape. This is layered on Cherry Cobbler that also was punched with the Note Tag Punch but I did use the technique to make a longer tag.
I used some other goodies to add Valentine flair - Tea Lace Paper Doilies that I sponged with Pink Pirouette ink, a Red Glimmer paper heart, Basic Rhinestones, and Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine.
