Perfectly Preserved Hearts!

Here's the Valentine card I created...Perfectly Preserved for my Sweetheart!  I couldn't resist putting lots of hearts inside the jar!  The LOVE sentiment is from Affection Collection Stamp Set that was featured in the 2011 Holiday Mini.

The inside sentiment was stamped using the You Are Loved Stamp Set, which is available in the 2012-2013 Idea Book & Catalog.  I really wished I had used this in my hostess clubs during the past month.  It has beautiful images!  It's located on page 24, if you'd like to take a look.

To give my card an extra special touch...I created an envelope using More Amore Designer Paper (#129309)...even the "doily heart" is in this paper pack.  My card in size is 4" x 4", so I cut a 7" square and used the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate (#125586) and scored at 3 1/4" on all four sides...creating a 4 1/2" square envelope.  Did you know...that when you purchase the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate from me...you receive a .pdf file of 29 envelope sizes?

Thank you for all the wonderful comments...on my husband's first video tutorial!  We both have gotten a kick out of the responses!  And, yes, this really was my Valentine card from him!  He didn't do any rehearsing and I didn't coach him before the video. 

Sale-A-Bration Stamp Camp is right around the corner...and it's not too early to sign up!  It will take place on Sunday afternoon, March 3rd, 1:30-5:00 pm.  We'll be creating 8 cards using the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets, designer paper, and embellishments.  Class fee is $27 and will include door prizes, a "sentiment" bar, and a make & take adorable pre-scored box!  I'll have more cards and pictures for you next week!

Thanks for making

Be Creative Stamping a part of your week!
