Love you much Valentine

So that sketch challenge really got me going the other day.  I know I haven't posted but I've been busy!!  I decided to make 20 Valentine Cards in 2 days!  I did this to send over to Afghanistan to my husbands team for them to use.  I think the wives and girlfriends of these brave men will really love a personal card sent home for Valentines Day.  Here is one of the cards I made a bunch of, I will share more in the days to come! 

I'm not sure what kind of fold this is called, but it is soo easy and I love the look it.  My card base is basic grey and measures 8.5" x 4.25" and scored at 3".  I used a 5.25"x4" piece of Sending Love Specialty Designer Paper to put on the inside portion.  I made a mini card to put on top of the Designer Paper in Basic Grey measuring 8" x 2.75" and folded in half.  on the 3" flap I used my I {Love} Love wheel on a 4" x 2.75" piece of Real Red cardstock.  I got lucky with the heart being near the middle when I did this and took advantage of it by adding the punched hearts to make it pop.  I didn't get so lucky on all of my cards!  On the front of the card I used a 3.75" x 2.5" piece of Real Red, you can't really tell but I ran this through the Big Shot for some texture using the small dots texture plate.  I wrapped the piece with a strip of Real Red Satin Ribbon and topped it off with the whisper white piece using the Pinking Hearts Border & Corner punches and the small heart punch(with crystal effects and dazzling diamonds)  The love you much stamp comes from the Well Scripted Set. 

I hope you all are enjoying the weekend!

Happy Stampin'!

Dazzling Valentine!
