Hi friends! Waving to you from stormy, not-so-sunny Florida! A couple of nights ago we had a supposed tornado form aloft right overhead, which touched down across the river a couple of miles from us as the crow flies. They're saying we're in for another storm tonight/tomorrow so I am hoping we are not in for another wild ride!
My project for today is a traditional Valentine which typically includes flowers, love notes and chocolate! I used a combination of Stamp Simply stamps/dies and a couple of Tim Holtz dies to make it, all inspired by this cute Echo Park designer paper with a postal theme.
Anybody else having flashbacks of a long ago long-distance romance? Such is life when you love someone in the Navy! dh and I dated long-distance for ~ 3.5 years before we got married...and then we were still apart a lot of the time!
The flowers are a stem of irises stamped and die cut from our Happy Day Iris bundle.
I folded a strip of card stock and then cut the top and sides of it using the largest Tim Holtz tags die to create a little pocket tied with ribbon which holds two chocolate coins. The tag is just the right width to slide into the envelope from the Postale die set.
I stamped a greeting onto a "love note" (another die from Postale) and added the xoxoxo from one of our Stick People stamp sets.
The inside is embellished with a little printed tag from the Echo Parks Love Notes designer paper. I included a zip code with the numbers from Postale to carry on with the postage theme.
