Hi, Friends.....
I still have my valentine supplies out, so I am sharing a quick Happy Valentine's Day card I made. I actually like making cards after the holiday (when there is no pressure) for having on hand for the next year. Seems like I am always in a time crunch and it is such a relief to open my storage box for a particular occasion and find some ready-to-use cards already in there! Yay!
For this card, I used an adorable Great Impressions kitty stamp (#E860S) which sadly seems to be discontinued. I stamped with Versafine ink in Smokey Gray and heat embossed with clear powder. Next, I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and die cut it with my My Favorite Things Die-namics - Stitched Square STAX die set. I added some sweet puffy heart trim that my crafty friend, Karen L., sent to me a long time ago. It's a super-simple card, but I really like how it turned out. Hope you do, too. I might have to make a few more of these while I still have my things out!
Have a great week!!!
<3
