Stylish Pocket Card

I used some of my favorite patterned papers to make this bright pocket card for Valentine's Day. This card includes a few things that aren't normally associated with Valentine's day--like the browns and blues that are on the papers, and the images from a thank you set, but I think that they still work well.

For the focal point on the front of the pocket, I stamped the large heart image from Thanks with Style from Kitchen Sink Stamps on a piece of white paper, then covered the image with Iridescent Ice embossing powder (yes, this was before the window installer "borrowed" my heat tool last week). I stamped one of the smaller heart images inside the open part of the heart image--fits perfectly--and added a small rhinestone to the center. I used my oval Nestabilities to cut out the image and a mat. The oval is adhered to the front of the card, right over the pink satin ribbon that's tied around the card, with dimensionals.

For the insert, I used the same large and small heart images, this time both stamped in dye ink. I stamped the "hugs and kisses" sentiment from Never a Loss 4 Words over the images. Then, I made a border for the card using the "xoxoxoxo" sentiment from the same set.

I punched out a round tab and stamped a heart on it for the top of the insert. There's a small, pink self-adhesive rhinestone at the center of the heart.
