I spent more time creating the pattern for the fold-out hearts than I did making the entire card!! : ) The hearts fold down for mailing. Inside each one, I wrote the words "Love" or "Hugs". My "bling" is just the scattered rhinestone hearts. The gold accents are too matte to be considered bling.

Sometimes it's the little things that take the longest....Love what you did though, if that helps any, Sallie! Sweet balloon hearts complete with strings sending a message of pure love for the perfect holiday! Pretty bling and gold embossing~

Anything worth doing, is worth doing well, Sallie, and you always seem to make the most of every element of your cards - "love" and "hugs" are the perfect surprise inside each of your 'balloons' - very creative!!

Those fold out hearts are great (but I know what you mean..sometimes that putzy stuff takes forever). This is really fun. Your bg with the bling, the gold, the hearts adds a touch of whimsy to your heart balloons. Fab card!

Sallie, this is just so pretty and the hearts very creative. Love your paper, too. The gold bling and rhinestone hearts are just perfect. It is getting closer and closer to Valentine's Day. Guess it is time to get started on those cards.

This is so pretty, Sallie, with pretty colors. I love those fold out hearts - very creative and cute, and your background is just perfect for the heart balloons.
