This week I am using the Heartfelt Stamp Set and coordinating Hearts Punch Pack to convince myself that hearts are NOT just for February. Isn’t this design gorgeous (Don’t get too excited, I totally copied it)?! I mean I’m convinced already with this one design, but I did two more like I usually do and then even a bonus design for fun. My favorite parts of this design is the subtle embossed heart and the Thoughtful Blooms flowers! Plus you can never go wrong with white heat embossed anything. I hope you enjoy making this card as much as I did.

For this card I really wanted to play some more with the Vellum Butterflies and I knew I wanted to use some yellows because this card is going to celebrate a friend’s graduation from St. Leo University and gold is one of their colors. The new Bumble Bee In-Color is very pretty and the Bumble Bee Gingham Ribbon is adorable. Both are perfect for this card. I’m very pleased with how it came out.

I just love the delicate Vellum Butterfly and Vellum layer on this card designed by Ronda Wade. I had to make it. I am sad to see the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series paper retiring in a few weeks, but was so happy to use this gorgeous piece with Pool Party, Old Olive, Poppy Parade and Rich Razzleberry flowers on it. The Royal Peacock Rhinestones really dress up the already pretty butterflies.
