I found design #146 at Atlantic Heart Sketch, and decided to make a Valentine for my sister. I found this sweet vintage paper in a partially used paper pack at the thrift store, and die cut three hearts. I stamped then embossed the off white piece, and ran the paper through a second time without the folder to flatten out the pattern a bit. Can you believe in 1997 Stampin Up had foam stamps?! Yup, and I think they should go back to selling them as an option. They work well, and they’re a cheap alternative. I added a little gold locket (reminiscent of childhood as well) to the center of the heart and my card is complete.
Awww such a sweet card. Your sister is going to love it. Thanks for playing at AHSC this week!!
