Jami's sketch was such a fun, versatile one that I decided to make 2 cards - one with the sketch as she drew it and one with it turned 90 degrees! For both, I used one of the newly released Stamp a Sweet Impression sets, Love is Sweet and the Valentine Key ingredients. It made it so much easier to complete my finished product with all the matching paper and embellishments already put together for me.
For my first card, I inked up and colored my cuppie with Copic markers and added a candy dot for the cherry on top. Instead of using ribbon, I punched a strip of cardstock with my Martha Stewart valentine lace punch. I added 2 rub-on brackets around the word "love" to use as my simple sentiment.
For my second card I used the kissing cuppies for my image, so I flipped Jami's sketch to suit the horizonatal image. I inked up the cuppies and colored them with Copic markers and finished them off with stickles for some bling. After cutting and embossing the scalloped circle, I ran it through my Cuttlebug again using the new Love Language embossing folder (love those tiny hearts!).

Wow two cards - thanks for sampling my sketch - they are both adorable! On the first one I love the way you used a big heart instead of a circle and I love that Martha Stewart punch! On the second one it was fun to see it flipped and you've introduced me to a new CB folder I need!
