Who says Valentine’s cards need a parade of hearts to share a little love? This design lets greenery do the talking. Using the Friendly Foliage Bundle from Stampin’ Up! (below), I layered leafy die cuts inside that gorgeous frame and kept the palette calm and classic. The result feels fresh, thoughtful, and just a little unexpected, perfect for the guy in your life or anyone who prefers love served with a side of clean lines and quiet charm. Sometimes a simple “Sending Love” nestled in foliage says it best.
