Heartfelt Congratulations

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.
