Julie's Creative Stamping: Always in My Heart

Welcome to my blog today! I hope your ready to start thinking about Valentine's day cards! This card is one of my favorites as I love to color it helps me to be calm and peaceful! So used products from the Love You Always Suite by Stampin Up® There are two different bundles in this suite and for this card I used the Always in My Heart Bundle!

The Designer Series Paper that you see is actually black and white and I used Stampin Blends to color it and look how beautiful it looks colored in!

I've also seen several cards done in the Black and White and those come out beautiful as well.

You will find the instructions and supply list below!
