Hearts of Elegance Valentine

For today’s handmade card, I feature a technique I used for one of my many Christmas cards. (See that post by clicking here.)

I use strips/scraps of Designer Series Paper as a focal point to create a Valentine card. Find the die cuts and sentiment in Stampin’ Up!’s Hearts of Elegance Bundle, some of the Online Exclusive offerings. This bundle offers a variety of heart-shaped dies and sentiments for creating a variety of Valentine and love-themed cards.
