Valentine’s Day is just two weeks away! Have you made your Valentine’s cards yet? I used this week’s fun Splitcoast Stampers sketch to create this card:

Here’s the ‘recipe’:

1. Start with Certainly Celery for the base (8 1/2 X 5 1/2)
2. Layer Vellum paper on top of the base (4 1/4 X 5 1/4)
3. Cut three 4 1/4 X 1 inch strips from the Bella Bleu DSP collection and adhere to the vellum.
4. Cut one strip each of 5/8″ Certainly Celery and 1/4″ Very Vanilla ribbon and adhere over the DSP as shown.
5. Cut a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock 4 X 3 (Here, I used Textured cardstock).
6. Cut a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock 4 1/4 X 3 1/4.
7. Layer the Crushed Curry on top of the Chocolate Chip.
8. Using the Very Vintage Jumbo Stampin’ Wheel (from the Occasions mini catalog), roll the image onto Confetti Cream cardstock using Chocolate Chip ink.
9. Punch-out six strips using the Word Window Punch.
10. Adhere to the Crushed Curry cardstock as shown and add Silver Brads.
11. Punch-out the hearts using the Heart to Heart Punch and Chocolate Chip Patterns DSP.
12. Stamp the “love” sentiming using the Tiny Tags stamp set (Clear Mount set used here, from the Occasions mini) and Chocolate Chip ink.
13. Punch out the sentiment using the new Medium Jewelry Tag Punch (from the Occasions mini) and adhere it to the heart using a Red Rhinestone Brad.
14. Adhere hearts to card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

And that’s all folks! More “heartsy” projects to come. Speaking of hearts, from now until February 28, 2010, $2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set will be donated American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.
