was so fun to make cards for Valentine&#8217;s Day!\u00a0 I had purchased dies last year but didn&#8217;t use them.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t decide which I like the best, so leave a comment telling us of your favorite.\u00a0 This first one was for my grandchildren showing a little teddy bear stacking balloons on top of each other to say &#8216;I LOVE YOU&#8217;.\u00a0 \u00a0The balloons are die cut from a glossy card stock but the picture didn&#8217;t pick up the shine.\u00a0 The die cut out all the hearts in one cut, so I used different colored papers and then glued them individually on the white layer that I embossed with a fun heart embossing folder.\u00a0 With 4 cards to make it was great to have different colors to mix and match.<\/p>\n<p><a
