Love!

I have a workshop tomorrow and wanted to do a Valentine's card with them.  I wanted to use some dsp from Sweet Shop.  One of the papers has heart embossed on it so I die cut it using the new Hearts collection framelits die.  I then proceeded to put it on my card using Real Red as one of the layers and Real Red ribbon.  I soon realized that the paper is not Real Red but more Calypso Coral which I would have known if I had taken the time to check out the mini.  I didn't like the card at all so I switched it up to the Calypso Coral.  Take a look.  The card was inspired by one I saw on Splitcoast.

I had Real Red in my mind so this just didn't do it for me so I created another card.

I was happier with this one but I have to say the first one is growing on me.  Anyway I wanted to use Early Espresso as it reminds me of chocolate and that reminds me of Valentine's Day!  The base on both cards is Early Espresso, next came the Calypso Coral or the Real Red then the Whisper White.  I have to confess I had just noticed that the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing folder was hearts.  I thought it was dots!  Doesn't it look great here!  On the top card I used the Scallop Dots Ribbon in Chocolate Chip.  On the bottom card I used the Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.  Personally I like the smaller ribbon.  I made the tags using the Jewelry Tag punch.  The stamps are both from Outlined Occasions Stamp set which will be available FREE with a $50 purchase beginning January 24th.  They can be seen in the new Sale-a-bration catalog.

For the hearts I used the Hearts Framelits and the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die.  I put a couple of them inside the card also.

They are predicting snow for tomorrow but I hope they are wrong.  If they aren't wrong I hope it starts late in the day after my workshop.

Thanks for stopping by.

Dale, I like the top one. Love the white dots on the heart. I thought they were dots at first too but I was so happy to see the hearts. It can be used for anything, not just Valentines Day. We're expecting snow too starting after midnight. I guess we got spoiled not having any for so long.
