Happy Valentine's Day, folks! I am SO excited today because I am participating in the Made for Love Blog hop along with the girls from the Gallery Idol 2012 competition. We're friends, dude. It's pretty cool. Just sayin'. If you came from Joscie's blog, you are already on your way! If not, feel free to jump on back to Taheerah's blog for the beginning of the hop. I know you have a ton of blogs to visit, so I will make some attempt to keep this short and sweet, but there are couple of things you need to know... there is a TON of AMAZING inspiration on this hop AND TONS of prizes from AMAZING sponsors, too...as in... at least one at every stop... so don't miss out on that awesomeness! K? K. Thanks for keepin' it real with me here, folks!
For my card, I decided to go classic Valentine. I chose a red cardstock base and then mounted a dry embossed panel in the same tone onto that. I die cut the wreaths and adhered those, stamped the heart from Gourmet Rubber Stamps in white on pink cardstock, trimmed, and adhered that with foam tape. I then stamped and embossed the sentiment (Technique Tuesday) in white on a vellum strip, trimmed a banner, and adhere it to my card. I used Zip Dry, which I'm telling you in preparation for that question being asked. LOL! I love how it is just a good, 'ol fashioned Valentine kind of card! YAY!
And now...it's PRIZE TIME!!! I have TWO prizes being offered today! The first is a fabulous goody bag Simon Says Stamp worth $25!!! YAY!!!

A meaningful comment...I like that :) It would be very frustrating to receive dozens of 'nice card' comments simply for entries.
I am going to have to try my trusty Zip Dry on vellum - I LOVE that glue. Lasts forever and WORKS. And I really love how you've laid out the wreaths - three in a row is so classic, and you've done that in a fun & funky way.
Now that's just plain purty! Love it!
I love your valentine! I think it is elegant! Thanks for sharing! Kathi

Pretty card! I love the vellum banner! And I would love to win the Spectrum Noirs! I literally have another window open and I was adding some to my shopping cart. Why don't I just take 2 packs out of my cart and then you just pick me for the winner? I promise I won't tell anyone ;)
The white is so striking. Gorgeous card.
Very beautiful card. I love the paper you used for the heart and the sentiment on vellum looks fabulous!
Hmmm... have to see what Zip Dry is... I love your classic. And the way you have the wreaths going off the edge keeps the eye in constant motion.
Perfect toon as always!
