14 Days of Love 2010: Day 8

Day 8: Love to you card - What better way is there to let someone know you love them, than by making them a handmade card. This card was designed by Heather who helps Sarah Lynn design cards for our Card Chaos Classes. I love the technique she used on this card to create the heart on the front. Here is a list of supplies and instructions to make your own.

Instructions:

1. Stamp “love to you” sentiment onto white cardstock. Let dry.
