It’s Sunday and time to reveal this week’s The Paper Players inspiration card. Jaydee is hosting a fabulous Clean and Simple “Tag It” Challenge. The mission: Create a Clean and Simple card with a tag on it! At first glance, this card may not look that simple. But in actuality, it was a breeze to make! New Occasions Mini products used on this card include the fabulous Hearts Framelits, Blushing Bride Smooch Spritz, Blushing Bride Pleated Satin Ribbon, Large Pearls, and the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits! Enjoy today’s card!
The finished card measures 5-1/2″ by 5-1/4″. To convert this card into a mailable form for use in Stampin’ Up!’s square envelopes, simply move the large heart completely onto the card base.
- Smooch your card! Spritzing with Blushing Bride Smooch Spritz adds a delicious sparkle and shine to the Whisper White card base.
- Frilly heart! For a look to rival a box of Valentine chocolates, a border of Blushing Bride Pleated Satin Ribbon was added to a Hearts Framelit made with the yummy Twitterpated Designer Series Paper! Use Sticky Strip for a sticky grip!
- For double the wow, double the bow! Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding never looked more delicious than when used to create a double bow.
- Tag…You’re it! A mini-collage tag is created using the new Fashionable Hearts Embosslits, Basic Pearls, a Trinket Key, and a sweet little Blushing Bride Twitterpated Button! The “Key to my Heart” sentiment, from the versatile You’re a Gem stamp set, is the perfect finishing touch!
What a fun Valentine card to create! While the base of the card is Clean and Simple, the collage tag adds that little extra touch. What do you think of the Blushing Bride Smooch Spritz? I was skeptical at first, but I think I like it! As always, your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one of them…so please, won’t you leave a comment today?

Your card is beautiful. I bought the Blushing Bride smooch too…. But mine is Blood red, it made my card look like it was bleeding lol Maybe I need to call SU about it, I thought that they were all like that. I am so glad I seen your card today. lol

What a pretty and feminine card Ann! I love the chocolate box look of the pleated ribbon behind the DP heart and the little key charm is a beautiful touch.
The pleated ribbon works perfectly behind the heart.
Hugs, M
amazingly beautiful card Ann ~ wow wow wow!!!! TFS and have a wonderful day *smile*
Well my friend this does not rival a box of valentine’s chocolate -it far surpasses it!!! It is incredibly beautiful Ann. I love the blushing bride smooch and the pleated ribbon around your heart
What a beauty, Ann! Love the spritz and the pearls, but my hands-down fav is the adorable tag!
What a great Valentine! Reminds me of those big heart shaped boxes of candy, complete with the pleated ribbon.
Scrumptious Card! Just so beautiful!! Love it! Hope you had fun at Leadership!
Now that’s a Valentine!!!! I’m glad your back and had fun!
Cherry Cobbler meets Blushing Bride and all is right with the balance of the universe. Lol! GORGEOUS color combo. Clean and classy all the way! Way to go with the Smooch…when I use it it looks more like a big, slobbery kiss on my cards. I’m still learning.
So glad I got to visit with you this weekend! You are fabulous, in every way, my friend! Big Texas hugs! 🙂
Another creation full of gorgeousness! Love the tag and that big beautiful heart…it really DID make me tink of a candy box. Beautiful!
Very pretty, Ann! This is outstanding!
So beautiful! Just like the top of a candy box.
Love your card!! There is that darn cute pleated ribbon again!! I told Ann I would need to get some in every color!! Love the spritz and the dimension to your card!! Very, very cute!! I’m glad to see you made it home from Texas!!! I was a little worried about how much snow was waiting for you. Loved the time we spent at Regional’s!! I look forward to our next event!! Amy L.
Oooooo…I LOVE it, Ann!! All the details make this CAS card my personal FAVORITE!! I might have to CASE this card for my hubby for Valentine’s Day….it’s just TOO BEAUTIFUL!!!
XOXO
I love it all. A feast for the eyes–true art! It’s just so lovely and I thank you for sharing!
Love the Smooch Spritz! I haven’t tried it yet but you’ve inspired me to pull it out! Beatiful card, too! You always know just the right touches to make on each and every card!
I love the way you glammed up the small tag! Your card is as lovely as I expected.
Hi Ann! What a beautiful Valentine’s Day card! The heart really looks like it should open to a box of chocolates. And even though I’m not really that much of a pink girl, the new smooch spray is lovely with the cherry cobbler. I can’t leave without mentioning your amazing double bow!
Ann,
There isn’t a day of your posting that I am not inspired by the beautiful cards that you make, the training and the personalized sharing that makes you real and fun! Thank-you!
First I look at all the details of your cards and consider things that I might incorporate into my crafting, then I consider the time it will take to make a similar version and then the mailability. Usually I end up making something more simple that is mailable with additional postage and easier to duplicate for multiple mailings.
It looks to me as though you have used some glitter with the smooch, especially on the lower half? How do you make your double bows and could you please direct me again to your teaching on the little roses with the seam binding.
Have a great day! Linda (-:
Beautiful card and tag Ann. The Blushing Bride Smooch looks fabulous. I felt the same way as you did about the smooch, but now loving it. Of course an Ann card would not be complete without the pearls.
Luscious & delicious! Love the look of the spritz. The pleated ribbon, your beautiful bow, and gorgeous tag make for another amazing creation.
Simply stunning. Love the use of the ribbon! The ice is finally melting today. D
Great combination of papers. Very pretty card!
Simply beautiful!
Absolutely stunning!
Absolutely stunning!

How pretty! I love the ribbon around the heart. 🙂
so beautiful
Love this card Ann! It’s absolutely beautiful. I have to say, also, how wonderful it was meeting you at Leadership. I truly enjoyed our visit! Thank you for taking the time to chat with me.
Very pretty, Ann. I’m scared of Smooch, but it looks awesome on this one. It was so nice to see you again yesterday! I hope you get some rest tonight as I know you are going to be tired. Oh, and watch out for ducks! 🙂
Absolutely, positively gorgeous, Ann!!! Beautiful color combo and of course you attention to detail equals WOW.

Ann WOWZER! what’s not to like! The card has so many fabulous elements..love that blush smooch that I wasn’t going to get, puts such a soft glow on everything. The large pearls and tag with key is FAB! … but HEART… be still my heart.. is gorgeous. The lacey look and the trimmed out in gorgeous ribbon..make me hungry for chocolate. OMG now I’m crazed for SAB to start! hugs
Beautiful. It never ceases to amaze me how you add all those elements and come up with a card that never is overdone. Those small added touches always take your cards to the next and the next and the next level!!
