While taking inventory of my envelopes, I found some red bags with little white hearts I had leftover from an old Sale-A-Bration promotion. Since I was planning to make a few love cards before Valentine's Day, I pulled them out and they inspired my latest card. I based the design on the Create with Connie and Mary sketch #439. I used the Lift Me Up stamp set and matching Up & Away Thinlits dies. I made an insert for the envelope with Soft Sky cardstock and punched the top corners with the Curvy Corner Trio punch (retired). I added a stamped heart at the top, and backed it with patterned paper to make a pull for the insert. The Envelope Punch Board allowed me to make a matching envelope for it.
