Love Impressions Heart Valentine

Here's another Valentine I came up with using the fun Hearts and Brackets die and the Big Shot.  It's so much fun to make Valentines!  Seems that we all love {hearts}!!  The card base is Pink Pirouette with a layer of Real Red that has been run through the Big Shot with the new Tulip Embossing Folder from the Occasions Mini.  The hearts and circles background paper is from the Love Expressions Designer Paper pack, layered over Whisper White.

Underneath the heart is a "ribbon" of cardstock punched with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, #119275, p. 200.  I'm so glad Stampin' Up! has this punch... you can punch out a cardstock ribbon when you don't have fabric ribbon to match your project!  Cool!

This closeup above shows the texture of the heart applied with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  The greeting is from the set With All My Heart punched out with the Modern Label Punch.  SU's brilliant Rhinestones accent both hearts!

The inside of the card features a sentiment from Occasional Quotes, a Level 3 Hostess Set fro the 2010-11 Idea Book and Catalog.  This is one of my very favorite and often used sets; it can only be obtained by hostessing a Stampin' Up! party of $600. or more.  This can be done!!  My hostess on Monday had a workshop of over $600. and received $75. in free SU merchandise of her choice, plus two free Sale-a-bration sets and three Hostess sets, all of her choice!!  That's well over $100. in merchandise!  How cool is that!

There is NO BETTER TIME to host a stamping get-together with your friends than during Sale-A-Bration!!  Contact your demonstrator to schedule yours today; if you are in my area, contact me!  :)

Thanks for visiting today!  We are having sunshine today for a lovely change, so we will enjoy it while we can.  Take a little time to create something beautiful today!
