OH, Hello again!  This is a great card for mailing.  Although I love all the bling that's associated with a handmade card, they can be a pain to mail!  I've been trying to simply my cards to make them better to mail and quicker to make.  I'm finding that simple is more my style and doable for most people.  I did add a few easy touches such as stamping the sentiment on matching DSP and adding dazzling diamonds with 2 way glue pen to the butterfly.  This card can be changed up in so many ways using different sentiments.  Of course, no card is complete without something popped up with dimensionals (the cherry cobbler scallop).

Have a great week!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope you all did something special today!  I should have posted these a couple of days earlier for ideas but oh well!  These are still great basic templates for any card, any time!  I am really loving this little elephant from the SAB set, Patterned Occasions.  It has a sentiment below it that says, "thanks a ton" but I sliced it off and now can use either the elephant alone or just the sentiment.

The rick rack here is one of my favorites.  It's an easy way to add that something extra and I often use it instead of ribbon if I am mailing a card to keep it more mail friendly since it lays flat.
