I love the theme for this month: FABRIC! If you have never used Stampin' Up's fabric, you are missing out! They sell these GORGEOUS color-coordinated fat-quarters that are just beautiful and can be used for more than just sewing!

For example, take the card I created for this month's hop:



This piece of fabric from the "Flirtatious" set just adds a perfect flair to this Valentine's card!

I designed this card as an easel card. The heart rosette is pretty heavy and needs a little extra support to stand so the easel allows it to remain sturdy when it is displayed!

And I LOVE that stamp! When I first was introduced to Stampin' Up! back in 2005, Wonderful Words was the very first stamp set I bought! And since Stampin' Up! has been bringing back some of their old favorites with the "Best of 25 Years" stamps, I actually have a great reason to pull it back out!

BEAUTIFUL!!! I am loving the rosette and the Flirtatious fabric for the background is perfect! And, what a great idea to create this card as an easel...I can imagine it's a little heavy, so what a great idea.

Wow, very cool card! I have never seen that way of doing the easel card with the raised part in the front - what a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing this great card.
