This card was made with as little frou-frou as I could leave out. A clean and well, not entirely, simple Valentine that's perfect for the man in your life.
Hearts a Flutter stamp set and the coordinating Framelits make this card a snap to create!
The Chevron Embossing Folder adds a modern and more masculine touch and brings textural interest to the monochromatic scheme
One pop of red shows what it's really all about - Love. Use the perfectly coordinated Itty Bitties stamp set and Designer Builder Brads to create this look
Have fun with the Designer Builder Brads! They are a beautiful addition to cards and scrapbook pages, but also can easily be turned into magnets or jewelry.
Take the prongs off the back by pulling them gently straight and then bending them back a forth a few times. This will give you a flat surface to adhere your magnet
Use strong adhesive (I used E6000) and 3/4" or 1/2" round magnets
Before the glue dries, it has a tendency to slip - so hold the brad in place for about a minute to keep it straight on the magnet
This set coordinates with the Itty Bitties stamp set (128939) which has 56 cute little images to make customizing your brads so much fun
It also coordinates with the Itty Bitty Punch Pack (118309) - so you can punch out the images and they will fit perfectly in your brad!
The In-color Dahlias (127556) will fit beautifully on top of your brad too! Use a little E-6000 and add these sweet flowers.

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).
