This month for my stamp club projects we made Valentine's Day themed cards. The first one is a 3"x6" card and the background uses the new Letter Press plates from the Occasions Mini catalog. You use craft ink to place the color, and then run the plate with a piece of card stock on top through the Big-Shot. A cool idea. The dog stamp is from the stamp set Friends Fur-Ever. A punched "ribbon" from the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch finishes everything off.

The final project is a simple matchbox using the Bigz XL Matchbox die for the Big Shot, Basic Gray textured card stock and Love Impressions Designer Series Paper. To give the final touch, I added a heart punched with the Heart to Heart punch and the new Real Red Glimmer paper (also from the new Occasions Mini catalog).
