Today I’m happy to get to share a wedding card made by Joanne Brown, one of my Candy Hearts team members. She made it for the February team meeting card swap, which had a wedding/anniversary theme. She used both the Tufted and the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions embossing folders, along with the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies, Layering Ovals Framelits Dies, and Floral Phrases stamp set to create an elegant card with lots of texture.
The Lovely Lipstick Foil paper she used for the heart is from a Sale-a-bration item that has sold out, but you can make this card with Lovely Lipstick card stock, or with another color foil paper, for the same look.

This is the third day I’ve shared a card made by one of my Candy Hearts team members for our January team meeting swap. Judy Newsome of Lafayette, GA, used the Hey Love stamp set with the Dot to Dot embossing folder and a couple of punches to create this fun Valentine. And it has a pun! And you know how I love puns! Look at the cute little gorilla and the sentiment “I’m ape over you.” And the embossed dots in the background add even more whimsy. This card would be perfect for a child, but could also be given to any fun loving adult.
