There is nothing like giving your love to someone whether it’s on Valentine’s Day or any other day.  This special card adds a great little touch to that love you share.

Begin by cutting a 10” x 7” piece of cardstock (Super Value Pack) and fold it in half to create the card base.  Using the paper trimmer, cut a piece of 6” wide by 3 ¾” wide dotted paper from the Glitz 6 x 6 paper pad Hello Friend and adhere it to the card base using a tape runner.

Cut another piece of the same card stock that you used for the base that measures 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and place it into the Dotted Swiss Cuttlebug folder and run it through your embossing machine.

Using a sponge dauber, apply the ink (shabby shutters used) to the embossed area.

Place the paper into the second embossing folder (A2 Heart Blocks used) and run it through the embossing machine.  Ink the embossed area using a different ink color (Worn Lipstick used) with another ink dauber.

Adhere the paper to the front of the card using a tape runner.

Take a piece of the card stock and using the Picot Edge Circles die by Spellbinders run it through your diecut machine.

Create the word, “Love” using the Martha Stewart Custom Stamp Setting Kit and stamp it onto the center of the circle in black ink.

Attach the circle to the card front using a 3-d adhesive.

Share this card with someone you love and help to create those special memories in life.  As the old saying goes, “it’s the thought that counts” and what better way to pass that thought of love onto someone special than a handmade card created just for him or her.
