Valentine Cards 2025

 
I had a grand time putting together Tim Holtz True Love die set.  It was fun to make my own candies and use those traditional colors of Valentines (pink, red and white).  I added a little gold too.  I used glossy accents to give the candy a realistic look.  Plus, I add some sprinkles, hearts and XO embellishments that I normally use for shakers.  The background is embossed.  I flipped the embossing so it was subtle.  I also added a little Washi tape that is peaking out from behind.  The inside says "Your the Sweetest, Happy Heart Day!"  I made 11 of these cards to spread joy for Valentine's Day.   These cards are 5x7 because  I wanted more real estate to show on the card.  I am also excited because I made more candies to use on upcoming Birthday cards!  Who does not smile when they receive chocolate?  I love chocolate and receiving it as a gift makes me smile! I consider Chocolate a food category (LOL)! Thanks for stopping by, and have a fantastic Heart Day!
