I was bored when making this card.

First, I cut my base out in Pure Poppy cardstock. Then I picked out a pattern for my mat and cut that out. I didn't do such a good job making sure the mat was in proportion to the base. I still need a ton of practice at using this paper trimmer. Next, I stamped out three different heart shapes on Sweet Blush CS and punched them out with the Large Heart Punch. Need more practice lining those up, as well. My hands tend to shake a lot when cutting things out.

Once the hearts were punched, I adhered the ribbon on them using a little scor-tape. I decided not to put ribbon on the center heart, instead I decked it out in clear rhinestones, picking the smallest size available in the package. Then I used pop dots to give it a little "pop" on the background.

Inside the card I used a small piece of Sweet Blush CS for a sentiment. Nothing really flashy and it is a bit off-center.

This is a rather simplistic card.

I stamped the large image on the Cream CS panel in True Back ink. Then I stamped the sentiment in Enchanted Evening ink and the stars in True Black ink. Taking my corner rounder, I cut each corner of the Cream panel. Then using double-sided tape I adhered the panel onto my Enchanted Evening CS base flush with the top edge of the card. Using the "cheater method" I attached a length of Enchanted Evening Saddle Stich ribbon as a border to give the card a bit of a divide. Under the ribbon at the bottom edge of the card, I used a stamp with some VersaMark to give it a tone-on-tone look because I felt it was missing something.

I think the card turned out rather sweet.
