Joy of Sets Blog Hop Love Is In The Air

Welcome to The Joy of Sets February Blog Hop with our theme of Love is in the Air. With Valentine's Day less than a week away, we will be sharing ideas to help inspire you to create your own projects of love for the people you care about. 
 My card design today features products from the From My Heart Suite in the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog. I love the way that all these products coordinate to making creating my project so easy and stress free. This sweet little Valentine's Day card uses the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #151189) along with the Heartfelt Bundle (item #153775) and a touch of bling with the From My Heart Faceted Gems (item #151154). I also added images from The Gangs All Meer stamp set (item #152294), which you can earn Free during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order.
 So how did I create this card? I started with a Real Red cardstock card base and added a5 1/4" x4"  layer of the pretty From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper to create the background. On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the two meerkat images from The Gangs All Meer stamp set using Early Espress Classic ink, making sure they are far enough apart to be punched out separately. I colored both of the images using Crumb Cake Light and Dark Stampin' Blends Markers to bring them to life. Using the regular Heart Punch from the Heart Punch Pack (item #151292), I punched out each of the images and then punched out two of the Real Red Foil scalloped edge hearts from a sheet of the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper using the Scalloped Heart Punch from the same punch pack. (I love that the punches coordinate to punch out the hearts in this pretty paper pack). I attached the images to the foil hearts using Snail Adhesive.
For the sentiment, I used an image from the Heartfelt stamp set (item #151417) and heat embossed it onto Real Red cardstock using Shimmer White Embossing Powder. I punched out the sentiment using the Heart Punch and layered it onto a scalloped heart punched out from Sparkle Glimmer Paper (item #146957) using Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached this heart to the card front using Snail Adhesive, positioning it towards the middle on the left side of the card front.
 To complete the card design, I attached the other two hearts with the meerkat images to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals on the top and bottom right side, to create a balanced layout. I added one of the From My Heart Faceted Gems to each of the hearts, using one of each color, with Mini Glue Dots. This cute card design is a wonderful way to brighten up someone's day and let them know how much you care about them.
