I knew I wanted to line the hearts up along the edge and then cut a shadow along the edge and I got lucky with the hearts squeezing onto an A2 sized card perfectly. To adhere them I used a line of glue with a Zig glue pen and then stitched them down the center so that I could fold up the edges for a little dimension.
I should back up though and say that I had a particular sentiment in mind with no stamps in my stash to match my vision. Before I did started adhering things I ran my card base through my printer and created my own custom sentiment with some cute fonts (listed below). It worked perfectly and even better it was FREE! :)

Hope you are enjoying the holiday season with some relaxing breaks between all the hustle and bustle. I've been trying to get through my annual tradition of watching all my favorite Christmas movies with all the obvious ones plus other favorites that take place during the holidays like While You Were Sleeping, Love Actually, When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle (I could go on and on). :)
Very pretty card.
