SU Valentine Card #2

Created this Clean & Simple (CAS)  card using all Stampin' Up products. Added the gem attached to twine. I was a Design Team member who demonstrated this card at a Stampin' Up event, Inspiration Night, Tues 1/22. At the event there are 4 DTs and you have 20 mins to make the creation. If the people finish before the 20 mins then we had a topic to discuss. My topic was how to use punches in a creative way. I demonstrated how to make the Hershey Kiss using an SU punch that you can see here. Everyone enjoyed the make & take and discussion. You can see the first SU card below in a side by side photo.

Card is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". Base is SU Pretty Pink cardstock. Top & bottom of base embossed with SU Adorning Accents heart border embossing folder (repeated heart embossing). Layer is SU Whisper White cardstock 5 1/2" x 1 1/2". Layer is embossed with SU Needlepoint Border embossing folder (repeated xxxxx embossing). Heart is SU Cherry Cobbler Core'dinations cardstock cut/embossed using SU Embosslits Scalloped Heart of Hearts (repeated heart embossing). Attached heart to base using SU dimensionals. Added SU Cherry Cobbler twine to heart using SU glue dot. Added rhinestone gem with SU glue dot to twine. Stamped sentiment using SU Teeny Tiny Wishes "happy valentine's day" with SU Cherry Cobbler ink.
