Here is the first of my Valentine's Cards.  I have tried to keep in mind that I would be giving this card to my husband.  I will be sharing a few that I will send to some others, but... Hubby is on my mind today.  Like the background?? Thanks sweetie!!

The first time using the new scented embossing powder, YUMMY!! I was pleasantly surprised how strong it was when I opened the container.  If you love cherry (also available in melon and vanilla), you are solid!  Also used my heart framelits for the first time today (I will say again how DANGEROUS this Occasions Mini is, YIKES!!!).  Using two different sizes because the falling hearts from Sprinkled Expressions (FREE with $50 purchase from Sale-A-Bration) is on the inside of the card.  Just for Megan, Cherry Cobbler embossing powder instead of ink.  Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Red Glitter paper, seam binding ribbon in Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler just in a knot.  Hemp twine is how I added the Tiny Tags along with the tag punch.

The candy treats 'pouch' is Twitterpated paper cut using the Top Note Big Shot die.  The decorative label was sponged and stamped with 'big hug' in Cherry Cobbler ink,  from Prefect Words (Hostess set).  Inside the pouch is a bag of Kisses.  Cute little way to give some sweets to your sweetie, right??

Have a great day getting Crafty!!

 Here is a sample of a card I am putting into a fundraiser basket with the retired Hostess stamp set.  Do you see all the new stuff?? The heart embossing from textured impressions embossing folders, for the Big Shot,  in the Occasions Mini? This mini is DANGEROUS!! Love it!! I also put in a sneak peak, the brads and ribbon are from the Sale-a-Bration mini,  I got them for FREE!!

I wish my friend luck on her auction, I hope this card idea, goodies and catalogs help out!

Happy Crafting! Have a great day!
