Stampin’ Up! Love For You Valentine’s Day Card

Good Morning! Here’s a simple Valentine’s Day card made with the Stampin’ Up! Love For You stamp set and coordinating dies with the pretty Sale-A-Bration Most Adored specialty designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I embossed a strip of Flirty Flamingo with the cross hatch 3D embossing folder and adhered it to a panel of heart filled Most Adored specialty designer series paper. I adehred the layered panel to a Basic White mat and popped it on the front of a Flirty Flamingo card base with dimensionals. 

I cut the love you words using the Stampin’ Up! Love For You dies using Flirty Flamingo for the detailed letters and Basic White for the mats and adhered them together. I cut a panel of polka dot vellum with the pretty Everyday Details circle die. and adhered the die cut words to the vellum with glue dots. I adhered the Vellum to the card front with glue dots hidden behind the words.

I stamped the flower from the Stampin’ Up! Love For You stamp set using Flirty Flamingo ink on Basic White. I stamped the detailed stamp first and stamped the background after stamping off and I stamped the center in Lemon Lolly. I stamped the double leaf in Granny Apple Green using the same technique and cut the flower and leaves out with the coordinating dies. I adhered the flower and leaves to the card with dimensionals and tucked a white baker’s twine bow underneath. I finished with three pink iridescent sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Love For You stamp set in Basic Gray ink on Basic White. I stamped several small hearts in Flirty Flamingo around the sentiment and trimmed the bottom with DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Are you finished with your Valentine’s Day cards? I think I’m finally done, and it’s been so much fun with so many pretty papers and stamp sets. It’s a good thing because there are so many more Spring occasions for making cards coming up!

Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! Here’s another Valentine’s Day card made with the sweet sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set and pretty dies from the Darling Details and Give It A Whirl die sets. And I used a simple heart pattern paper from the Sale-A-Bration Most Adored specialty designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge this week, which is perfect with Valentine’s Day just around the corner!

I used the small eyelet frame from the Darling Details dies to cut a Basic White panel and adhered the frame to a heart filled panel of the Most Adored Sale-A-Bration specialty DSP. I adhered the panel to the front of a Real Red card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the love you sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set in real Red ink on Basic White. I used the large window heart die from the Give It A Whirl die set to cut the sentiment out and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. The Give It A Whirl die set has great dies for making spinner cards and so many other dies that are great for decorating such as these hearts (There are also great cloud and star dies in the set!).

I used the Give It A Whirl heart dies to cut several hearts from Basic White and Real Red card stock. I layered some of the hearts and arranged them in the center of the eyelet window, adhering them with dimensionals. I adhered a Real Red bow to the frame with a glue dot and added rhinestone gems to the hearts.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set in Real Red ink on Basic White. I adhered more hearts to the panel and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Most Adored specialty DSP. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Bee My Valentine stamp set are perfect for Valentine’s Day and don’t always need to be used with the bees (although they are so cute). Red and White hearts with lace – classics for Valentine’s Day cards!

Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the December Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Love” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet bundle with the pretty Most Adored Sale-A-Bration specialty designer series paper to make a Petal Pink love card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I used a blending brush to apply Petal Pink ink all over a panel of gold floral Most Adored Sale-A-Bration specialty designer series paper and adhered it to a Pebbled Path mat with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Petal Pink card base.

I used the large floral die from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet dies to cut a gold foil design from the Nature’s Sweetness specialty DSP – I love when dies cut out DSP images!. I adhered the die cut to the card front with dimensionals. I folded a length of gold ribbon and adhered it to the card with glue dots.

I cut several three sets of flowers from Petal Pink using the dies from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet die set. I cut three small stems and three small leaf clusters from Lost Lagoon. I adhered the flowers to the stems and ahdered them to the leaves with liquid glue.

I adhered two of the layered flower die cuts to the card front with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet stamp set in Pebbled Path ink on Petal Pink card stock and cut it out with the label die. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals, using a double layer of dimensionals on the bottom. I finished the flowers with iridescent foil gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little grid from the Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet stamp set in stamped-off Pebbled Path ink in the corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Most Adored specialty DSP that I colored Petal Pink. I adhered the third flower and stem die cuts to the panel with liquid glue and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Lovely and Sweet bundle has pretty images and wonderful little die cuts that are so versatile. And I love the gold foil designer series papers – they can be colored in to go with any color palette!
