Today I have a more traditional Valentine for you. I played with some 12×12 Authentique Smitten papers as well as their 6×6 paper pad. I loved how they included tag punch outs and some stickers along with the papers and of course I was excited when I saw “word-fetti” !!! 🙂 Pair these together with a paper doily and you have a good old traditional Valentine!

I have been on a gold kick lately. I usually despise it- but I am finding it creeping into my crafting world more and more. I still don’t think I will be wearing it anytime too soon. I had some gold 12×12 paper that I used my scallop heart punch on. Notice how there is NO STAMPING on this one- yea, that happens sometimes…very rarely though!

    Super cool!! Love the mixture of the playing card idea with the doily and the gold heart. Such a classic take on the traditional Valentine’s Day card but with loads more oomph!
