Stampin' Up! Hello Cupcake and Meant to Be Valentine

Welcome Wednesday! For some peeps in an office environment, it's Hump Day. For retired peeps, like me, it's just the middle of the week. No matter what your situation, I hope you enjoy the card I'm bringing to you today. Remember what I said yesterday about origami? Well, I AM finding it addictive! It's also a four challenge day!

My inspiration came from Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #307.

and I'm also playing at Double D - Month of Hearts. They have a mood board and the hearts can be any color. My hearts are red and are located on the inside of my card, which you can see below. There are a couple on the front too in the DSP!

AND last but not least, Try It on Tuesday has a romance theme. No matter what language, love is spoken here...how romantic!!

Dawn Griffith has a great video on how to create this card so I won't re-invent the wheel. Check it out here

My card base is Whisper White with a mat of Real Red. I am continuing to use the retired Sending Love DSP Stack. I think I'll keep making Valentine cards until it's gone. Y'all may be retired by the time I'm finished...lol.

I used one of the sentiments from Hello Cupcake (2019 Sale-A-Bration - free with $50 purchase) on the circle inside the origami frame. The current challenge at Inspire Create #36 is to use something from the 2019 SAB catalog.

You can use Real Red 1/8" Ribbon or Real Red 3/8" Ribbon for the bow. Mine is from a spool I picked up years ago at JoAnn's. There is no end to it!

For the inside, I used the Meant to Be stamp set and some hearts I had left over from another card. I had used the heart framelit from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits. The stamp set and dies are found in the 2019 Occasions Catalog and can be purchased as a bundle at a 10% discount.

Oh, I just remembered the Time Out challenge! 
Thank you for stopping by and the partial list of product used follows.
