Our 46th anniversary is next week and I wanted to make something different for hubby's card this year. I HAD to have TE Create in Quads: Mistletoe, but hadn't yet opened the package. 😊 Thought mistletoe in his favorite colors would be perfect! 
The Altenew inks are Grass Field, Mountain Pine, Caribbean Sky and Sapphire. I die cut AJVD "love" die from a vellum panel to use as a guide for where to place the die on my stenciled panel. The word was stacked 3 high, covered with glaze and glued in place. I die cut MB Parker Lowercase Alphabet letters to spell "you" and stacked them 3 high. The card front edges were inked to match. If you look close, you'll see 2 tiny Gina K white heart embellishments where a bow often goes. Fresh and simple with interest, so I'm happy and think hubby will like it, too. I'm entering Just Us Girls and SSS Wednesday.
I saw that my cardmaking friend, Linda, is the hostess at Seize the Birthday. Her theme is Black & White, which I haven't done in quite awhile. Always fun to combine challenges and FMS gave me a great layout.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
The black and white mats were die cut with Gina K Master Layouts 1 & 2. I used partial diecutting with a long stitched AJVD rectangle die to get the size I needed for my flowers which are from PTI Simple Stems. I actually used acrylic blocks and Versafine Clair Nocturne ink for the stamping and had no problem. The card looks very crisp and clean in person. Took a bit, but I finally found exactly the sentiment I wanted in Uniko's Simply Said Blocks. I added a tiny clear gem at the base of each bloom.
You've been a busy card maker, Greta and I love the results! That wreath on the shaped card is oodles of fun and I love your stenciled berries. Thanks for sharing that little lovely with us at JUGs! Your black and white card is a perfect use of that sketch. Marvelous makes, my friend!
