Just Because I Love You...

I made this cute little card for my boyfriend a couple of days ago. I had decided, some time ago, to give him a little something from time to time. Not because it's his birthday or our anniversary but just because I love him...

He was very pleased and the card is being proudly displayed on one of our bookshelves in the living room...

I used scalloped Heart cutting die, Pampered Pets (Vine) embossing folder, locks/keys punch,  Love clear stamp and white organza ribbon. I also used black gems and shimmer burgundy card stock.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Dimensional Valentine's Day gift...

Hi :)

I'd like to share something I made for my other half. I've made this 3D heart box with X-Cut Nesting Dies - Scalloped Heart and a stamp from Forever Friends Black and Gold Characters set. It's also embellished with circles cut using Nesties Big Scalloped Circles Small and Large. 

I'll put some chocolates in it for my honey. :)
