An early Valentine

Hi there~

I was intrigued by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and a holiday cards was called for at Addicted to Stamps and More.



A die cut out several hearts in each corner.  I added two heart pieces to the corners, so that it was full with hearts.  The sentiment is an old one from Simon Says Stamp.  (For anyone that is shy about cutting stamps...this sentiment was inadvertently ripped almost in half when I tried pulling it from the stamp carrier sheet...but you can't tell at all once it was stamped. It fit back together beautifully.)



Thanks much for stopping by.

wonderful start on your Valentine cards, Cat - i don't mind cutting sentiment stamps if i don't ever have to line them up straight again!

So I'm not the only aggressive "puller" who ripped a stamp while getting it off the plastic! I like how the design flows diagonally on your card.

Love the clean and simple feel of your card. The cut out hearts are a great idea - much easier than trying to glue several die-cut hearts in the corners. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!

Great framing with those sweet hearts, Cat ... and what a delicious, scripty sentiment! Glad it didn't have any lasting effects from the damage! Hugs, Anita :)
