 With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I wanted to create a card for this occasion!  This Stamp set was the PERFECT one to use!! 

This 4 1/2” square card design comes from our WISHES how-to book…it’s found on page 94 and is called “Curtain Call”.

I cut out hearts with my Artiste Cricut cartridge.  For the hearts in the foreground, I used Cotton Candy cardstock & ink…the back hearts I cut them out and covered them with Teal Shimmer Trim for a little bit of sparkle & shine!! 

The TEAL shimmer trim is a NEW product that is AVAILABLE to you in January through the National Papercrafting Month special - CLOUD NINE.  Wahoo Close To My Heart!!! J
