Sent with Love Card

Today I'm sharing the card we made at my table at Sassy Chic Stampers Stamp Camp this past Saturday in Longmont. It's an adaptable card that can be used for Valentine's Day, birthday, sympathy, or pretty much any other occasion. Plus . . . using lots of dies and punches makes it really quick to assemble!

4. Use Big Shot and Sunshine Wishes die to cut heart shape from Whisper White card stock; adhere to card with tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

5. Use Big Shot and Everyday Jars Framelits die to cut two stems from Pear Pizzazz card stock; adhere over left edge of heart shape with tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
