This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have sketch challenge. I knew I wanted to create a Valentine card because I’ve been itching to use the red glitter paper in the new occasions mini. I also used one of my favorite stamp sets Notably Ornate and my two DSP favs – Love Letter and Newsprint. Hop on over to HHS and take the challenge. We’d love to see your projects.

I have also entered my card over at Pals Paper Arts. Their Design Team is so talented.
I knew I wanted to to create a Valentine card because I wanted to use the Red Glitter paper and the Notably Ornate stamp set because I love the frame. I stamped it and the bird in Basic Black and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I cut them both out with my paper snips. The dotted heart is from the I {Heart} Hearts set and stamped in Cherry Cobbler and also trimmed with paper snips and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I framed the heart with the Pinking Heart border. Kasey has a wonderful tutorial on how to frame with punched borders.
I created the large scallop border with 1″ circles. I punched the circles from the Love Letter DSP. I adhered the circles starting from the center so the border would end up even on both sides. The polka dot paper is from the Love Letter DSP and I also used a Newsprint layer. For that Valentine feel I used the Red Glitter paper. Love it!! The sentiment banner ends are punched using the 1-1/4 square punch. The sentiment is from the With all my Heart stamp set.
