I created these cute little heart apples with the help of my heart-to-heart punch and the Tart & Tangy stamp set.
Heart to Heart Punch: Item #119881, $16.95
Tart & Tangy Stamp Set: Item #111514, $12.95
This card and gift below are for Valentine's Day for my son's first grade teacher.
To keep the "teacher feel" of this card, I used colors that remind me of school. I wanted to use the apple from Tart & Tangy, but had a lightbulb moment when I thought of turning them into hearts.
I'm really happy with the way this gift set turned out. Also included is small pail (not pictured) covered with tiny red apples and filled with valentine's candy.

You clever, clever girl! I have the tart & Tangy set but it would not have occured to me to make the apple a heart. Any teacher would love this gift!

Thanks Angela - I could not reply to you directly because you didn't leave an email. But thanks for your comment. :)
I'm not sure what squares you are referring to on my card. I'm thinking you might mean along the bottom (the polka dot DSP). ??
That is just DSP folded back and forth (no measuring) and adhered down with snail.
