X is for X-tra Hearts

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today at Alphabet Challenges I have chosen X is for X-tra Hearts. I know Valentine's Day has past us by, but we all have someone we love, who would be happy to receive a card with lots of hearts on it. To see more, the design team have many for you, so please visit the blog. 

I began with a 5 x 7 " embossed card, I die cut 7 hearts, then added them to the edge of the card. I then added the die cut word 'love' and stamped the word 'you'. The 'you' was part of a stamp in my stash.  I don't normally make CAS cards but sometimes I like to shake it up and be different. Take care. Happy crafting.
