It’s Thursday…and time to play at PPA! This week the Pals Paper Arts challenge will have you “seeing red”, as your challenge is to create a card using any shade of red! And what a perfect time to be using these colors, especially with Valentine’s Day quickly approaching. Keeping this in mind, I designed a quick and easy Valentine using Cherry Cobbler! I hope you enjoy it!
The finished card measure 5-1/2″ wide by 4-1/4″ long.
- I’ve Been Framed! Quick and easy cards do not have to be boring! With a crank of the Big Shot’s handle, the Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder adds interest in an instant!
- The Power of Three! A trio of hearts, made with the new Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die, add pizzazz to an otherwise empty corner. Of course, nothing beats a little bling, courtesy of Basic Rhinestones!
- A Bow for Your Beau! Cherry Cobbler/White Baker’s Twine is used to create a sweet little bow. And how cute is the band of embossed hearts! I LOVE the new Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. They are perfect for adding that special little touch!
- A Marriage of Two Sets! The “Love You, Kiss You, Miss You” sentiment from P.S. I Love You works perfectly with the Typewriter from “You’re My Type”! And don’t forget the bling! A small Basic Rhinestone works perfectly on the keyboard.
Quick, easy and cute…just right for a last minute…or even a “first minute” Valentine card. I hope you enjoyed it. Won’t you let me know by leaving me a comment? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one of them. Of course, if you ever have a question about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…

Finally got around to CASEing this one! Stop by my blog to check it out!
So darn cute! Love the combination of sets!
I really like that little accent of heart embossing. And you don’t seem to have crease lines, as I get when I use my Cuttlebug ones the size of this! How’d you do it?
This card is perfection, Ann!
Beautiful card. Love the embossing, hearts and typewriter. x
Darling! I love what you have done with the typewriter. I wasn’t that interested in the stamp set until I saw what you have done with it.

What a sweet card Ann! Love that typewriter and the sweet hearts. :o)
Hi ann,
lovely card, the typewriter is so cute 🙂
Have a great weekend and hugs for the twins

While this card looks “simple” and classy, it’s got a lot of design details. I love your eye!
Love that Cherry Cobbler and all the little embellishment touches. Kathy in AZ
Such a cute card, Ann! The typewriter is perfect for communicating that sweet sentiment. I really love the heart embossing across the middle part of the focal point, plus how you used the Framed Tulip folder on the layer beneath.
Just love it! So stinkin’ cute! Of course you’ve chosen so many of my favorite items. I just received my very own PS I love you set, embosslit folders & the little hearts embosslit today from my UPS man. I should run right up there & break them out. Just did not have time to break them free before I had to run to work today. Thanks for sharing!
I’m guessing that Brody is doing well?
This card is up my alley Ann “LIKE”! I just love this typewriter image!
Absolutely darling, Ann! XOXO
This is super cute! Love all the reds together…:)

Ann, I LOVE the style of this cute, “clean” card so much! Thanks for sharing!

Wow Ann totally different style from you but I love it. That was the first stamp I bought from the mini.
What a fun card! Love the embossed heart background and the embosslit hearts. The baker’s twine is perfect with the typewriter image.
this is a great valentine’s card Ann-the detail you put into all your card sets them off-the twine and embossing are perfect added touches here.
This is so cute, Ann! Really wishing I had pre-ordered the You’re My Type set! Love the use of the sentiment from P.S. I Love You, too!
So cute! I wouldn’t have thought to use the typewriter for a valentine, but it’s perfect!
What a lovely card! I like everything about it, but the cherry cobbler and black and white are a winning color combo. Sweet!
Very cute! Love the color combination. Now wait, no pearls – rhinestones instead….oh my Mike is right who are you and what have you done with Ann? Now my question, how did you decide which “key” to place the rhinestone on? Is it maybe the “K” for kiss? Just kidding! Great card!

You never disappoint with your reveals, Ann! I love all your hearts, rhinestones, Baker’s Twine & embossing!
Love this card. I’m not buying the typewriter, I’m not buying the typewriter, I’m not . . . . . Sigh! Thanks for blessing my day! ;))))))
I have been trying to come up with a masculine Valentine’s card for the teenage son and I think you have provided me with just the inspiration I needed. Thanks, Ann! You are a great paper artist!
What a crisp, clean look. I do love red, white, and black for Valentine’s Day. I especially the typed message and the twine.
cute cute cute!
Ann this is so cute. Love the little embossed hearts and the ‘note’ IN typewriter is always a favorite for me. Hugs.
PS: Love the typewriter(s) of any kind and after I get my order done, is ever, I’ll have three different kind.
Fun image! Love what you did with it! TFS
This is the best “typewriter” card so far. This is not a set on my wish list, but you made it come to life. All the extra little details are an added bonus. D
Cute creation! And so – ah – clean! Who are you and what have you done with Ann Schach?!!!
Cute card, Ann! I love that embossing folder you used. I had to look which black ink you used because it gives a perfect “black” image.
A very pretty card Ann. I really like the red, white and black combo. Of course the little rhinestone on the keyboard really jazzes up the typewriter.
Love the way you tied this all together! The sentiment is one of my favs!
I really love this card…it is so adorable….That is the type writter we used to have….LOL…I want to make it and send it to my friends…..
This is so adorable! Now you are making me want to work on my Valentine cards! Love all the wonderful details, especially all the embossed hearts!
every element is perfection. love the sentiment placement! you are the master of every style! hugs, m
Cute! Those embossed hearts look fabulous blinged up. Love that strip of hearts too.
What a sweet card. I simply ADORE cherry cobbler!!!
This card is stinkin’ cute! I love the simplicity of it, and all those little embossing touches add so much interest, while maintaining a clean design. I’m very impressed…you know clean and simple is my most challenging style!
Your card is absolutely adorable! I love how sweet it is.
Hi Ann! Another great card with a beautiful design! Love the classic colors and small details. You make me want to order this set as well! I also must say, your cherry cobbler cards are always out of this world…must be a favorite color of yours…it is mine!!
I love that typewriter! And that row of embossed hearts behind it is super! Oh and the twine…..sigh…love twine….probably because it reminds me of a bakery box…….which reminds me of cupcakes……
This is a great card. I haven’t bought this set yet and everytime I see something you do with it I think man I should get that set. After all I learned to type of a typewriter similar to that one! Guess I am dating myself. It’s a perfect Valentine card.
How adorable! You are inspiring me to sit down and get a Valentine’s card made this weekend for my own beau. I love the simplicity of colors and fabulous details.
So cute. Definitely a different style for you but it still has all those little added extras you do so well.
Too, too cute! I just LOVE all the attention to detail!
Another great looking card
I love this, Ann! I would say you could send it to me, but I’m not sure we should be kissing! 🙂 Who knows what kind of verification words THAT would bring up?!
I really like this! I love this typewriter. So many memories! haha oops! Telling my age here. Lots of great details on your card. And your famous pearls! Thanks!
