Christy used new stamps from Lawn Fawn for this darling Panda Valentine. She used lots of pink with teal green for her color combo. I love the cute little envelopes and scalloped die cut circle for a soft touch. Check out her video tutorial on the Christy Gets Crafty blog.
This sweet card from Kelly has a stenciled background with love and hearts. But the star of this design is the fold out center that uses a die to create a 3″ square that opens to reveal a fun coupon inside for a date. She used all new products from Hero Arts to create this design, visit the Hero Arts blog for more info.
