Valentines!

 Valentines cards are so much fun to make.  Perhaps it's because the colors and theme are so well defined, that I find it so easy to just play and come up with designs.  (Too many choice tend to put me in a spin.)

So here is a card I made using the new Happy Hearts embossing folder:

To do this, add an extra sheet or two of card stock to Tab One on your Big Shot, to make the impression deeper.  After embossing on whisper white card stock, use a brayer and your Pretty in Pink ink pad to GENTLY roll the ink over the card face. Do not press. With such light pressure, you may have to re-ink and go over the card a few times.  It is a good idea to check first to see if your card, after being embossed is lying flat.  You can bend it back & forth genetly to try and get it as flat as possible.  This will avoid getting smears of ink inside and in between the hearts.  However, if you get one or two, that is where the ribbon or larger hearts will go!

Here's how to get a cute double-heart embellishment on this inside, using only a heart punch from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack:

First, stamp your sentiment on the inside liner of your card.  I'm using Whisper White here. Next, punch a heart in the corner, pushing the punch up as far as it will go.

 Layer the Whisper White card onto the next color, which in my case is Pretty in Pink. 

Your next step is to punch another heart through the double layer, offsetting the punch a little down and to the side, shown here. 

Snail-tape your liner into your card.  Here's what it looks like when you're done:
