LOVE

Here's a simple and romantic Valentine:

• Start with Crumb Cake Cardstock and Basic Gray Ink
• Stamp L-O-V-E using the Morning Post Alphabet stamp set (126590).  I prefer to get Alphabets and Sentiment sets in wood-mount so I can use my Stamp-a-ma-Jig (101049) to position them perfectly
• Cut circles from the More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper (129309).  I used the Circles #2 Originals Die (114526), but you can use any combination of circle punches as well.
• Crumple the edges of the circles slightly and layer together with a brad.
• Use the Simply Scored Borders Scoring plate (126192) to add an embossed zig-zag for textural interest
• Tie the beautiful and drapey Pool Party Seam Binding Ribbon (125582) around the card

I love the fresh colors Moroccan-inspired design.  It lends itself easily to pattern and texture mixing - which is what I did with this card.

• I trimmed the outside edge of the Paper Doilies (#129399) and pulled (gently) into a straight line to create the ruffle border
• I used the Hearts a Flutter stamps and Framelits dies (bundle #131097) to create the hearts
• The sweet centers of the hearts were created with the Itty Bitties stamp set (#128939) and punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (#118309)
• The zig-zag embossing was created with the new and amazing Border Scoring Plate (#126192) for the Simply Scored Scoring Board (#122334).
