Today’s project is the Valentine I made for my hubby! But it would be great for an anniversary card too!
It’s a clean and simple card with a masculine feel! The die-cut “Amour” comes from the Parisian Dies; the stitched heart comes from the Be Mine Stitched Dies; and the embossed gears come from the Garage Gears Dies!
While the Garage Gears Dies are intended to cut gears, I used my retired Big Shot embossing mat accessories to leave an embossed look on the heart – LOVE!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!

PROJECT SUPPLY LIST:
Julie, masculine cards are hard to create, this one is just amazing and sweet and beautiful.
Thank you for the tip on how to use our dies to emboss, what a clever idea.

What a great idea and project; I LOVE your card!! Thank you for explaining how you’d embossed the gears vs. cutting them; reminders are always helpful! Cheers! XO
I LOVE the gears on the heart. Such a great idea. You made a beautiful card.
Great idea! Awesome card.
Love your lean and simple designs. Embossing just a portion of the heart really makes it stand out. Thanks for this idea!
What a great design! Your husband must have loved it. Thanks for the reminder about turning cutting into embossing with our dies—it’s just perfect on this heart.❤️
