Valentine's Day Card

Images copywrite Stampin' Up!

I am sticking to my Occasionally theme with this Valentine's Day card. The Occasionally stamp set (reduced to $41.48) has several sayings or phrases in it 'Thank You', 'My Mum', 'Dear Dad' and 'xoxoxo' as well as all the 24 images, so it is easy to make a variety of cards for many themes, eg Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day, thank you cards.

To create the lines on this card I have placed my card stock upside down in the paper trimmer and scored using the bone folder. This is a great way to add interest to your card whilst still keeping the card simple.

I have added the Flower Ribbon Slide from the Silver Hodgepodge currently 25% off at $51.71. They are simply gorgeous.

To get the brad look on the hearts I have stamped and then punched out the image with the 3/4" circle punch, attached them with a dimensional to add height and finally put Crystal Effects on top. It is wise to put the Crytal Effects on last as it can take a couple of hours to dry. Once it is dry you can add more and more layers depending on the effect that you desire.
