I tend to be a clean and simple kind of gal and decided to go with clean and simple with my projects today!
Do you ever have an idea for a card and you just HAVE to make it? Well…yep…that was THIS card! Ever since I saw the awesome little steam heart in the Cups and Kettle framelits, I just HAD to do this! And that heart print in the Have a Cuppa dsp is PERFECT…and I mean absolutely PERFECT for Valentine’s Day!

Melon Mambo – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
Heart Print – 3/4 by 5 1/2, add to card front

Cut out steam heart from Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay, interlock them and add to card front.
Add panel to card front using dimensionals
