Key to My Heart -- With a Twist

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. Yes, I have said that many times. It just makes my heart happy. Today's valentine packs some color punch, but was so easy to make. You can find so many fun valentine things at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store!

First off, I like to use Christmas paper year round. I mean, would you have known this was from a Christmas pad? Be sure to look at your supplies and get the most use out of them that you can! I am sure there are many of you that also do this! Here is the paper pad that I used (Webster's Pages It's Christmas - on sale for $3!):

I LOVE the fact that the sheets are loose and not bound together, that they are heavier cardstock weight, and double-sided! Sharon has MANY Webster's Pages patterns in the store here.

I stamped my sentiment and keys (JustRite Clear Stamp - Antique Valentine Tags One - also on sale!) with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I attached my beautiful Red Wrinkled Edge Sheer Ribbon (LOVE it! SO many colors available) and tied around the front panel with a big bow. The hearts were cut using Spellbinders Classic Heart dies. Finally I used a piece of Tim Holtz grungeboard (similar to pliable chipboard) in a key hole shape and embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder. I colored it red and stamped with VersaMark watermark ink prior to embossing. Sharon carries a beautiful selection of chipboard here.

A little bling with Red Rhinestones (Kaisercraft) finish the project.
My adhesives are 1/8" and  1/2" Scor-Tape,  Scrapbook Adhesives-3L E-Z Runner and Thermoweb 3D Foam Squares

Sharon has bins full of fabulous sale items at amazing prices! Go check it all out HERE.
