Tiny Tags & I (Heart) Hearts card...
The body is Kraft card stock that's been stamped all over with the Vintage Vogue stamp set, some of the images stamped off.
The Real Red layer features the Faux Suede technique (basically curl the card stock with your bone folder as you would scissors with curling ribbon. The card stock will separate into two layers, with the insides feeling like suede.)
For the flower, I used two strips of 1" Real Red card stock, each punched with the Eyelet Border Punch, then sponged with Chocolate Chip ink and run through the paper crimper a few times (you can run both strips through the crimper at the same time)., then I tore it a bit to make it look distressed.
I put down some SNAIL adhesive on the Real Red layer where I wanted the flower, and started from the outside, winding the paper in a circle. The crimping helps break down the paper fibers so they give easier. A jumbo Chocolate Chip brad was adhered to the center with dimensionals.
The heart is from I (Heart) Hearts. I stamped it in Chocolate Chip ink on Kraft paper and hand cut it out, sponging the edges before adding a red rhinestone brad. It's adhered onto the card front with dimensionals.
I used Kraft taffeta ribbon for the knot, and used the Tiny Tags stamp set with the Medium Jewelry Tag punch for the tag, adding it to the ribbon with linen thread.
Kimberly at Stampin' By The Sea inspired this card with a box of hers.

Four hearts Rich Razzleberry card...
This is one of the three cards we made at my Valentine Stamp Camp recently. It uses Whisper White, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry card stock and ink.
The heart is from the I (Heart) Hearts stamp set, while the sentiment is from the With All My Heart set.
The hearts and greeting were adhered with dimensionals.
This card was CASE'd from fellow SU! demo Mary Fish.

I (Heart) Hearts...
The heart was stamped in Real Red and cut out. I added lots of Dazzling Diamonds glitter with a 2-way glue pen and adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals over four 1-3/8" squares punched from the Sending Love designer paper. Those squares are layered on Pretty in Pink and then Real Red card stock.
The sentiment is from the stamp set with that name.
