Fashionable Hearts

I've surprised myself this year by thinking of Valentine's Day already, but how can I not when this adorable Fashionable Hearts embosslits die from the Occasions Mini is staring you in the face each day?! It cuts and embosses all at once - way to multi-task, little embosslit!

This week's sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches is irresistible! I love symmetrical designs, but sometimes I tend to be asymmetrical in my symmetry ;) Here's the sketch:



And here is my Valentine's card:
Be My Valentine

Materials used:
Cardstock: Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla
Paper: Gorgeous DSP from the upcoming Sale-a-Bration event!
Stamps: Delightful Dozen
Inks: Lucky Limeade, Versamark
Embellishments: Ribbon from the upcoming Sale-a-Bration event
Tools: Clear embossing powder, heat tool, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Big Shot, 3/16" corner rounder, Fashionable Hearts embosslit die

You may have noticed that I've been using a lot of items from Sale-a-Bration. I assure you, you're going to love it! It's got some great papers and accessories, and the stamp sets are fresh and simply delightful. Mark January 24th on your calendar and come check out some of the samples I'm going to have to show you!



Until next time - Happy Stamping :)
