Card with pink hearts and "I AM HERE FOR YOU FRIEND" text, set on embossed background. Surrounded by pink accents and embellishments.

Hello Lovelies! A clean and simple card for a loved one who having a tough time inspired today's card. We are so far away from each other that a paper hug is especially needed as I only get so see her every few years. Valentine's are delightful but I love when I can do more with my crafty goodies than just celebrate for a day.

The Love City dies that are the focal point of this card are part of a larger suite of stencils and dies. I adore that these small dies make the cutest "3-dimensional" hearts that stand out so beautifully to make a clean and simple card with a whole lot of Love City heart to comfort a friend.

These are sure to make any gift extra special!
