I have been making cards with my groups out at the ICF/MR for a few years now and Valentine's cards are the ones we started with so of course we had to make some this year. We still haven't done our second card and they are going to have creative freedom with those but this was the first card I made with them this past week and they loved it.
A few weeks ago my friend Carmen was checking out the SEI website and saw they had a great deal on some of their papers. I recognized the Chocolat collection as I had that collection and have been afraid to use it, yeah you know the ol "if I use it I won't have it" thing, but now I was able to use it liberally and I knew my clients would love the glimmer and glitter of the collection.
I cut the pieces on Pazzles and put some of them together because we do have a time limit and I have 6 in a group that I have to help with putting the cards together. This particular card is the one I took in for example. They didn't ink or do the faux stitching on their cards. They did however do their own stamping on the inside of their cards and I have to say they are getting rather good at stamping!
I am offering the file for download for MTC users and if you need a quick Valentine card this one is it! I'll have another Valentine card tomorrow and then I will be posting the collection of gift bags I got completed recently.

Heart Banner Card
I can't remember the paper as it was in my Valentine paper box and I didn't pay attention, but it was made from some scraps I had from last year's cards. There are more layers on this one and I think it can be made to look totally different with different papers and a little more embellishment. It really didn't take long to cut and put together and if it weren't going to a place where embellishment isn't likely allowed I would have embellished a little more.
