Brenda's Stamping Pad

  February is naturally the time of love and making Valentines. But hearts and love can be used all year round. Did this card on a Facebook live with input from my fellow crafters. One of my favorites is the heart punch bundle found in our Annual catalog.  First, I took Blushing Bride cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".  The matting is in Roccoco Rose cardstock 4" x 5 1/4".
