A bit late for Valentines!

I completely forgot to post this card. If you are a stamper and have a Pinterest account you saw a very similar version of this card everywhere. Hope I can find the name of the original creator.  The great thing about this card is that it is very simple to make.  In fact, I hosted a "Make a Valentine for your special one" at Heart to Heart International for all of the staff. No matter what their stamping skill level, the cards were perfect.

Stamps - Well Scripted (retired Stampin' UP!)
Ink - Cherry Cobbler
Ribbon - Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding
Punches - Decorative Label, Heart to Heart
Cardstock - Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, retired DSP

Hint - when working with inexperienced stampers - success depends on simplicity.  One way to ensure they get the card front senitment done well is to have them stamp on a separate piece of cardstock then have them punch it out. This allows for mistakes where they can stamp again without ruining the front of their card.  The stamping looks good and the placement is exactly where they want it to be.
