I know, it’s WAY to early for Valentine’s Day cards but I fell in love with the cute bears in the Valentine Kisses stamp set and just had to make a card to swap using it for the Backstage Event.

The sweet die cuts in this bundle really make the card fun. The die cut layers are all adhered with liquid glue but it might have been better to use and adhesive sheet on the back of the cardstock before die cutting, at least for the banner and tassels.

It was the favorite of most swappers and I ran out of these quickly. I’ll be sharing the other card that I did for swaps on Wednesday with a video tutorial of the Pop-Up Petals Bundle.

FYI – The little hearts on the banner and booth do cut out but I wanted them in. They would sometimes stay in and sometimes come out, lol. I used a combination of the Take Your Pick Tool and a tweezers to return them to their spots. The trickiest part was adding just a tiny bit of glue to the opening where they went. It worked best to squeeze out a bit of glue onto a scrap and add it using a toothpick or small scrap of paper.

I even added another die cut heart on the inside.
