Valentine card - I {Heart} Hearts

Don't you love all of our punches.  They make my life so much easier.  Stamp, punch, punch, adhesive and layer.  You're done.  Well, it's almost that fast.  This card was very fast to make and nobody asked for help making a bow....not any of the 25 ladies that attended Stamp Camp on Saturday.  Usually, I hear "Oh Ruth, please help me make my bow."  Sometimes they just yell for "HELP."  Not this time because I showed them how to make a bow that is beautiful every time and there's no tying.  For this project, the ribbon is 8 1/2" long.  You fold, ribbon candy style, into 3 equal parts, leaving a little extra on each 'tail.'  Then scrunch the middle of the ribbon together and take your brad(opened up all the way) and wrap the tongs?(is that what they are) around the ribbon and close the tongs around the backside and adhere with a dimensional.  Is that clear as mud?  lmk.  Anyway, I learned to do that at Leadership in San Antonio a week ago and it is full proof.  EVERYONE did their own...well, Tricia had a little help but she likes to make me feel needed :-)  The background of this card is stamped with the background stamp 'En Francais' and it was happy to be taken out and used again.  I love that stamp and any background stamp for that matter.  Then we added lots of bling and it was such a pretty card.  Denise DeLawter, one of my 'Stampers with Sparkle,' inspired this creation.
