Happy Valentine’s Day to all you lovers of carbs! This card is just for you.

This card was made using a cute stamp set that has loads of sentiment puns. I just love the set (I’ve notated the brand and stamp set name below).

How I made this project:

• Lightly ink blend a piece of Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock in pale pink ink. The piece should be large enough to die-cut heart from a heart die.
• Die-cut the pink-blended cardstock with the heart die. Adhere craft foam or foam tape to the back of the die-cut heart.
• Stamp the bread loaf and slice of bread in Copic-friendly ink onto white cardstock. Color the images and die-cut or fussy cut them out. Place foam tape on the back of these colored images.
• Layout your Copic-colored images on top of the die-cut heart. Leave room for the placement of the sentiment.
• Stamp the sentiment onto the heart in the desired location.
• Adhere the images (bread loaf and slice) to the heart.
• Add small red hearts (die-cut from a punch, etc.) or sequins to the heart.
• For the card mat:
  • Cut a piece of A2 cardstock (4.25” x 5.5”) from red cardstock.
  • If you are using a rectangular stitched die like I used, then die-cut the red A2 piece using the stitched die.
  • Mount the heart onto the red mat cardstock.
• Mount the card front (heart & red mag piece) onto the front of an A2-sized card base. Note: If you have die-cut the red cardstock using a stitching die like I did, you may have to trim the entire card down to a size less than A2.
