This is my sample for CC1087. Diane is our hostess and she chose pretty in pink, strawberry slush and coastal cabana for her color trio. Dessert option this week is hearts.
Well, these are great colors for a Valentine card. My first for this year. I used a couple of Lawn Fawn dies- Candy Hearts & Hugs & Kisses border die and cut in 2 of the challenge colors.
Layered those on coastal cabana designer paper from the Stampin' Up "playing with patters" collection.
Added my Valentine phrase cut from a CottageCutz die and a few hearts to complete my card.
Hope you can play along this week. It's a chance to get started on the next holiday of 2026.
A brand‑new ATC/Coin Swap is sailing in for June, and our theme is "The Sea". Hope you’ll dive in and join the fun! All the details are waiting for you here.

I love the candy hearts. There's lovely movement with the paper variation, wavy banner and the tilted hearts. Beautiful display of the challenge colors, too.

This is so sweet! I love the embedded words on each heart! That was a great touch to this card!
