Here's my Love Train card. I stamped the sentiment using the Whatever! set of stamps that is packed with witty and clever phrases. (Click on the photos for a closer look.)

I also tried a new technique. I used the heart from one of our new winter CHA releases called Back to the Basics. I stamped it right onto an embossing folder and ran white cardstock through my die cutting machine. The inked heart image showed up on the cardstock wherever it touched the embossing folder surface. I love the effect!
