Happy Monday!

How about some inspiration for some Valentine projects today?

I created a simple card using the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up, Sweet Conversations, Sweet Talk DSP, Crafty Challenge Blog Hop, Crafty Collaborations, Valentine's Day I placed them flush with thee top and bottom of the card leaving just enough space for a strip for the sentiment! The sentiment is from the Sweet Conversations stamp set.

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our newest two week challenge to inspire you –

Optional Theme : Embossing

I used one of the smaller embossing folders for this Valentine card –

Sweet, these dotted hearts, right? The other embossed pattern in the set is just as cute!

I used the coordinating Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper for the two patterns shown.

The 3D hearts are retired Resin Hearts. I just had to use them, they added a little something the card needed!

I hope I have inspired you today!
