It’s time to get some Valentine’s ready to mail, so I found some inspiration from a few current challenges. Way back when I was in grade school and we passed out Valentine’s to all the other kids I always made my own. At the time I hated that my mom wouldn’t buy any with cartoon characters or that came with candy, but I guess she wanted me to put a little thought and work into it (or just keep me busy for a while!)
I got started by the challenge at the Paper Players (#526) which is a tic-tac-toe board. I went on the diagonal with die-cut, embossing, and blue.
I used the colors that were from the challenge at CAS Colors & Sketches (#405) as well as making my card a clean and simple design.
The steps for making this card were simple, I put to use an embossing folder I had never used before, which I used right on the card base. I die cut the hearts, heat embossed the sentiments in white, and arranged them on the base. The middle heart has 3 layers of card stock to keep it a little more sturdy.
I would also like to join in the challenge at Little Red Wagon (#587) with the theme “total eclipse of the heart” and the challenge at CAS Challenge at Happy Little Stampers who has a theme of “love is in the air!”
Lovely valentine card, Melanie. The embossing behind the Valentines is perfect for your focal point. Thank you for joining us at the Paper Players this week.
What great use of the colors! And a good job combining all the challenges. Thanks for joining us this week at CC&S!

Such a pretty Valentine card. I love this card cause this is not a stereotype of valentine card filled with pink or red colors. Thank you for paying along with CC&S challenge.
