I saw this type of card in a cardmaking magazine in February and bought the magazine just for the instructions on making the base of the card. The one in the magazine had flowers and butterflies embellishing it but after purchasing two heart themed punches from Stampin' Up! I thought I'd make a heart one for my mother in law for Mother's Day. The lovely Julie, a fellow demonstrator, made a gorgeous version of this card with plain cardstock (crumb cake I think) and a few hearts but I wanted to decorate mine with papers and go really mad, overloading it with the heart embellishments. I used white cardstock for the base card and Stampin' Up!'s Everyday Enchantment Designer Papers mounted onto some red cardstock for the embellishments with the papers used to line the front facing sections of the card. The card was so chunky with all the heart embellishments and ribbon bow on it that I had to make a box to put it in so I used the same papers and a heart embellishment. My mother in law loved it and has kept it out as she said it was too pretty to put away.
