Ribbon heart valentine

This was a fun card to make, using all the gorgeous ribbons I tend to hoard. This is a pretty way to use lots of pieces coordinating together. I took my inspiration from thegreenbeanscrafterole.blogspot.com. I cut the heart out on my Cricut using Disney Mickey and friends cartridge. Then I took the center cut out piece and ran it through the 5 inch xyron. After peeling off the protective layers, with the glue exposed I laid the ribbon across the heart. I started in the center and worked my way out to the edges.

I let the ribbon ends hang over about a 1/2 inch and attached them to the back of the other black piece of cardstock. I did a little faux stitching, and added a red gingham bow and a big white heart brad. I embossed the be mine from CTMH stamp set Tag the Occasion, and its ready to give to your valentine.
