I used to {LOVE} Valentine's Day as a girl...do you remember decorating shoe boxes for Valentine's Day mailboxes at school? Attaching snippets of construction paper hearts, lacy paper doilies, and silver glitter...the start of a fabulous hobby for years to come!
I used Bo Bunny's "Crush Collection" Valentine paper...it's on sale now at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store! Bo Bunny's "Crazy Love" is also marked down. A couple other Bo Bunny Valentine papers available: "Smoochable" and "Enchanted." These adorable Valentine papers really "make" the card...and make life so easy as the pads contain prints that are designed to coordinate.
I used Spellbinder Classic Hearts (both the Classic Hearts and Classic Scalloped Hearts are marked down!) to create the feature for this design. I cut five hearts, scored them down the center with a Score It All Board, then handstitched down the center score lines with May Art's Metallic String. A bitty metallic cord bow, along with a Kaisercraft black Rhinestone, finishes this design.
All supplies used today are from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

Love this, Deb! And, YES, how FUN it was to make those Valentine boxes at school. I used to love those afternoons. I haven't thought of that in years -- thanks for the memory!
I'm such a sucker for all things "love" ... this included. Thanks for taking me on the trip down memory lane.
