I love Valentine's Day and especially making masculine cards because they are such a challenge. Am I saying men are challenging? Yep - but making cards for them are even MORE challenging. The new Hardwood Stamp in the Occasions Catalog just calls out to be used for masculine cards!! Love it! It's a background stamp and I have a little tip on how to get a good stamp with the background stamps!
First here's the card! Don't you just LOVE that background?
To get a good, even stamp with a background stamp, apply the ink by turning your stamp over and patting the ink on. Leave the stamp, rubber-side up and add your card stock to the top. I use an old piece of grid paper and lay it over top and then gently rub the entire stamp. Easy, peasy!!

Stamp on the front of the card; cut out using the 3rd from smallest Heart Framelit. Sponge the edges of the heart. Add adhesive to the inside around the heart and adhere a piece of Soft Suede Card Stock. Stamp "Love" in the center. Add red glimmer hearts with dimensionals.
A very quick and easy card, but LOVE it!!
