Simon Says Stamp - MADE IN MINUTES HEART BANNER Valentine Card

Hello Lovelies! Stencils AND glitter cardstock??? Two of my card-making faves make this project pretty and simple! The Heart Banner Stencil somehow reminds me of those pastel, chunky Valentine's candy with the little messages on them, and that inspired my color choices.

Both the stencil and the Hugs and Kisses die are from the Simon Says Stamp's Smitten Release, which has so many goodies of Valentine's Day, but I love that most of them can be used throughout the year to celebrate so many things!

These colors are so happy!

This orchid glitter is so sweet and not overly shiny which makes me like it all the more!

Pretty simple and cute, I think!
