Happy Valentine’s Day! Woodland Wonder is an adorable set so I had to use it for my grandkids’ Valentine’s Day card because they are so loved.

Stampin’ Up!’s Whisper White cardstock has been around for a long time – not sure if from the beginning of the company but definitely in my almost 11 years as a demonstrator!
