I purchased Love Struck two years ago when it first came out - and it's been sitting in my cupboard - still in plastic - since then!! I finally decided that it was time to open it up and I'm glad I did. The image that I used for my card is from Love Struck. I coated it with Crackle Accents to give it an antique look. The border on the card was created using a Cuttlebug folder as well as two different border punches and some inking. I stitched around the card and along the border. The hearts that I added are from various punches.
The sentiments are from My Craft Spot's Always and Forever set. As soon as I saw the stamps I knew that I'd be using them to make a card for my favourite man!
To finish things off, I added a bow made with cranberry crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot. I also added three red oversized pearls.
I used the same border folder on the inside of my card and included a sentiment from My Craft Spot's Build a Valentine set.
If you still have Valentine's Day cards to make, you can play along at My Craft Spot and Fantabulous Cricut! (Just be sure to include a heart on your card if playing at Fantabulous Cricut.)
