Love/Valentine Card ~ Always & Forever

Happy Monday everyone.
I can't believe February is already half over 
and this is only my second post for the month.
As a lot of you know I've been battling health issues.
 I've really been trying to listen to my body and let it be the boss.

I made today's card for my hubby. I think the sentiment says it all.

*Sentiments cut using the Always & Forever die set from Paper Smooches.
*Heart cut using the Classic Hearts die set from Spellbinders.

May your day always be filled with love and laughter.

Love/Valentine Card ~ I {heart} U

One of my newest crafting goodies are these cute LF alphabet dies.
I left the dies attached together and it worked perfectly for my card front.
I think I'm going to buy a second set of this alphabet set to break apart.
First I die cut the letters from the black panel.
Next I cut the I and U from red and inlaid the in place.
Then I die cut the red heart and added it in place of the O.
To finish up I colored up and die cut the bird to sit on the heart.



*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Letters cut using the Quinn's Capital ABCs die set from Lawn Fawn.
*Bird from the Snow Day stamp set from Lawn Fawn.
*Heart and bird cut using the Snow Day die set from Lawn Fawn.
*R29 marker from Copic.
*Memento Tuxedo Black stamp pad from Tsukineko.
