Holographic Hearts Valentine’s Day Card

(Inside: have a happy day!)

Yesterday, I shared a “cute” Valentine’s Day card. Here is a more “grown-up” design …

Holographic Hearts paper from The Paper Studio was used behind a pierced heart cover die. I offset the white greeting die cut with the black, adhered it to the card front, and this card was complete. (And I have a pile of little white hearts for another project!)

Teddy Bear Valentine

(Inside: Happy Valentine’s Day!)

This cute little guy is ready to deliver Valentine’s Day wishes to my kadults (my adult children who are still young at heart)!

The pieces for the bear were cut from The Paper Studio’s Textured Leather, Sand Photo, and Holographic Hearts papers (along with a scrap of black). The balloon die was from the Balloons set (#FBD119) by Paper Smooches. The stitched background is unbranded.

This holographic paper looks quite different depending on how the light hits it:

This was a fun card to make!

Heart’s Alive Valentine’s Day Cards (and a few others)

(inside: Wishing you a Happy Day Happy Valentine’s Day)

This card features some pretty rose gold holographic card stock from DCWV and the “Hearts Alive Wafer Die” (#S419) from Simon Says Stamp. This die is fun because you can back it with any kind of paper or even make it into a shaker panel! Of course I had to add texture to the white with the Subtle embossing folder from Stampin’ Up (retired) which is, by far, my FAVORITE folder as I don’t have to spend extra on more expensive, textured card stock! I offset grey kraft card stock behind the white to create a bit of a shadow.

The inside sentiment came from two sets, the “Whimsical Wishes” set (retired?) from Gina K Designs and the “Miniature Type” set from Clearly Besotted, and was stamped with GKD Soft Stone ink.

I also came across a few cards I had made a while ago but never posted…

This super simple card design features the love frame die from Impressions Obsession (Die #124-Z) along with Core’dinations Kraft Small Dots (#320013) card stock, Recollections white card stock, Subtle Embossing Folder from Stampin’ Up (retired), a Creatives Memories corner rounder, and a Computer Generated Greeting.

I added a layer of red to this one…

And finally…

This last one (5 1/2″ square) features a debossed panel made with the 5″ x 7″ Cuttlebug “Cross My Heart” embossing folder (no longer available) and an unmarked die I purchased on Amazon a while back. The same computer generated greeting was used as on the cards above.

Pink and Kraft Valentine’s Day Card

It’s time to pull out the heart dies!

This card features the frame die from the “Heart Card Sketcher Die Set” from Frantic Stamper (FRA-DIE-09308) along with (nesting) hearts from the “Straight Heart” set from Nellie Snellen/Ecstacy Crafts. The “Pink Layered Floral” patterned paper is from The Paper Studio. The greeting was computer generated and cut using the “Word Window” punch from Stampin’ Up (retired). The SU “Subtle” embossing folder (retired) and a corner rounder were also used.

Hanging Hearts Valentine’s Day Card

(inside: have a happy day!)

I went with a simple design and traditional colors on this 4 1/2 inch square Valentine’s Day card.

The beautiful hanging hearts die cut was made with the “Frame Love” die by Scrap Man. I made the die cut into a sticker by adding Super Tacky Tape by Creek Bank Creations to the back of the red card stock before die cutting. The die cut was adhered to a white panel embossed with the “Subtle” embossing folder from Stampin’ Up.

This die cut is very thin and delicate and does not hold it’s shape well when trying to adhere it to the card so I created a template by positioning and cutting the image from plain white card stock that was the same size as my card front. I was able to place the template over the actual card panel and drop the die cut into the negative space on the template and shape it before sticking it down. 

The greeting is from the “Miniature Type” stamp set by Clearly Besotted. It was heat embossed with white embossing powder and cut with a die from the “Sentiment Strips” die set from Photoplay. The sentiment on the inside is from the “One in a Million” set from Gina K Designs (retired?).

If mailed in a square envelope, this card would have required a trip to the post office so I used a regular A2 size envelope. It was a little too big for the card but much easier!
