Here's what I made with the brand new Helping Hands set.
Supplies:
Cardstock: (red, lightest pink) Bazzill, (dk pink) American Crafts, (med pink) DCWV, (Cream) The Paper Co., Patterned Paper: (Sweet and Sour Soup 6x6 pad) Jillibean Soup, Stamps: (hand, sentiment from the Helping Hands set) Paper Smooches, Ink: (grey) ColorBox, Colored Pencils: Prismacolor, Tiny Paper Clip: Creative Impressions, Baker's Twine: Paper Smooches, Border Punch: EK Success, Die: (Heart Nestabilities) Spellbinders
Size: 4.5"x4.75"
I stamped the hand image onto some notebook patterned paper and colored it in a little sloppy to make it look kinda like a notebook doodle. I then framed it with gradient heart die cuts. I gave the same doodly/sketchy treatment to the heart I colored for the sentiment. I finished off my card with a border punch, a tiny paper clip and some of the new twine you can find in the Paper Smooches store.
Have fun and good luck!
♥Heidi

Love the notebook and paper clip additions to this card.
Awww...this is so sweet! Love the ASL image...known as much by hearing people as by the deaf! The notebook paper w/spiral punched border paired with the paper clip makes this a great card for a school-related "crush"!

Love how this little valentine's / anniversary / just because card is reminiscent of those notes you'd pass in school about your crush (or to your crush if you're brave enough!). Super cute use of school supply style pieces and the framing of the ILY sign. :)
This is super cute Heidi!
