Happy Valentine’s Day!

It’s finally here! Do you have a special Valentine’s Day planned? Does it remind you of when you were in elementary school and had a party at school where everyone exchanged valentines? I think we either made our own valentines with construction paper, paste or Elmer’s glue, and doilies or we bought a box of valentines with envelopes that we would just sign on the back to give out to classmates. Then we also had a decorated shoe bag or lunch sack at our desk and everyone would scurry around delivering valentines! Even when my kids were in school I remember getting to meet other moms in their classes to help with the Valentine party.

I don’t think I posted this card before but I made a lot of them to send. The card base is Melon Mambo cardstock. Then I have a layer of Marbled Elegance Speciality Designer Series Paper layered on a piece of Gold Foil. The pierced heart in the center is diecut with the die in the Hearts of Elegance Dies.

The greeting is stamped with Melon Mambo ink on Basic White cardstock. This is in the Hearts of Elegance Stamp Set. The banner shape was then cut out with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. To add a little bling, I added some gold gems. You can use whatever you have. Lots of embellishments would look very pretty!

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day and I hope you get some good chocolate candy!
