Hearts of Elegance

For the rest of the week I will be sharing the Valentine's cards that were made at the Valentine's class that got weathered out!!  Everyone got to make their cards however because I mail their packets in enough time for them to receive them and get them made and in the mail.


This card looks like it is made with Real Red, when in fact it is actually Melon Mambo!!  It uses one of my favorite layouts and is very easy to make and duplicate if you need a lot of cards.  The Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper is absolutely awesome and does ALL of the work to make this card special.  The gold flecks running through it show up much brighter in person.  I chose to just cut squares of Basic White and Melon Mambo for the heart, but if you wanted to step your card up you could use the Stylish Shapes Dies to die-cut the squares.  The edges of the squares would then be similar to the edge of the gold heart.  You could also step it up by adding some kind of bling.

As soon as I am done posting this I am off to Iowa City to run an errand at the hospital and to pick up some groceries and other things in case we really do get a lot of snow tomorrow.  I decided we probably needed some real food, instead of deciding day by day what we were going to have for supper, and ending up having either pizza or some kind of breakfast food . . . eggs, French toast, or waffles.  Not sure what I want to get as it is still a struggle to both cook and eat it, but it is getting better.

I know I certainly have enough craft projects and books to keep me busy, even if we are snowed in for days!!
Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!

Happy Stamping!!
