Sending Love -- A Valentine's Day Card

It's Tuesday, my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. This week my teammates and I are focusing on Valentine's Day. I've made a shaker card with the Flying Hearts Ephemera Die-Cuts 18 by Janet Klein which contains love letter envelopes, a variety of hearts, flying hearts, cupcakes, and the word "love". I've used The Crafter Clear Stamp Set 378 and the baker from the Sugar Cookie Clear Stamp Set 421 for AALL and Create.

Here's the card!
