My card today is a Valentine for one of my Grands using the Stamp of the Month set from Taylored Expressions called Going Places. The cute little bucket was colored with Copics, cutout, and popped up with foam tape. The clouds were made with the cloud dies from the SOTM coordinating dies called Enjoy the Journey. The felt heart was cutout by hand and sewing was done around the edges by hand with embroidery floss. Sewing was done around the edges of the background papers and the sentiment from the same set was stamped on the banner. The button and hemp cording finish it off. TFL!!

Great card, Joan! Love the papers and images. I can't bear to think of Valentine cards just yet. I've got to keep working on my winter cards that I send mid-January. May you find Joy this Christmas Day!

I love your heart with the blanket stitch! What a pretty embellishment it makes with the button and twine. Love your layout as well. Time for me to start Valentine's! TFS
