I first measured my globe (it's about 3") so that I could leave an appropriate space between the two lines of my computer-generated sentiment. Then I cut my globe out of green cardstock, glued it to a bigger piece of pale blue cardstock and trimmed off the excess.
My card was looking awfully plain (although I know most men like them that way), so I added some embossing at the bottom with a Swiss Dots EF and scored a line at the top of it.
As a final touch, I added a fuzzy red heart brad that I had in my stash.
Continuing to keep things simple, I stamped "Happy Valentine's Day" on the inside, and that was it! Card done.
This one came together so quickly that I made two of them. I'll be taking them to the thrift store to sell, and if they are sold before February, I may make a couple more.
I'll be sharing the rest of the Valentines I've made, and a few coordinating boxes, in the near future.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

That is a great masculine valentine. They are so hard to do. I like the added touch on the bottom. It gives the card some grounding. I forget about adding score lines to emphasis something. I'll write that down and post on my desk.
Oh what a great idea - masculine cards always make me overthink my design. Love the little fuzzy heart in the corner.
That's a great Valentine for the guys! I've never seen a globe die and you had the perfect stamp to lead into it.
Oh I love how you used your world die Cheryl, that little bit of embossing is just the perfect addition
Very cool card! That globe is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
