The February 5th Challenge at Caardvarks is all about hearts. If you add a link to your newly created card featuring hearts, you'll have a chance to win the fabulous February Mini-Kit from CupCards {to go}a new monthly kit club just for cardmakers.
My first features a heart made using this cool fan folded heart tutorial from on a whimm. I cut my card base a little less than 4" wide, so the heart would extend over the edges. The heart is made from red and purple marbled specialty paper that I've been hoarding for well over two years. The great sentiment is from Loving Words by Ali Edwards for Technique Tuesday.
This card features all sorts of heart punches to create a heart-filled flower garden. The papers are Basic Grey Bittersweet and Memory Box Sprout papers. The sentiment is from Romance Expressions by Inkadinkado.
My final card features more Basic Grey Bittersweet papers. The heart is stamped with a very old Michael's $1 sentiment and suspended from a ribbon. The Stampabilities Vintage Flourish is stamped in Dark Brown and clear embossed.
We're using Mr. Linky now, so it's even easier to join along. Just make sure you provide a link directly to your heart-filled creation (and make sure it's something *new*).
I love the folded heart card! It's beatiful!

Very Nice Cards. I especially like the flowers in the middle, but all three are fun and beautiful.
