Fun for Valentine’s Day is Meant to Be

Happy Valentine’s Day! I know it may be too late to send a Valentine’s Day card at this point, but I had fun making this one and wanted to share it with you. It is so simple!

This is the same photo as the last blog. Today I will go over how to make the card on the left.

This card uses the sentiment from a Stampin’ Up! stamp set in the Annual Catalog, Meant to Be.

Measurements: Whisper White card stock (CS): 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches scored at 4 1/4 inches and 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches; Real Red CS: 5 1/4 x 4 inches and 4 x 1 1/2 inches; From My Heart Designer Series Paper (DSP): 5 x 3 3/4 inches of the mosaic heart design, the red foil heart from the large foil heart design and a 3 3/4 x 1 1/4 inch strip of the foil dot design.

Stamp the sentiment “Happy Valentine’s Day” in Real Red ink onto the 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch Whisper White CS. This is a red rubber stamp so you do not need the Stampin’ Pierce mat.

The Heart Punch Pack contains two heart punches. One with a smooth edge and one with a scalloped edge.

Use the smooth-edged Heart Punch to punch the sentiment out.

Use the Scalloped-edged Heart Punch to punch out the red foil heart.

Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the heart with the sentiment.

Adhere the sentiment heart to the scalloped red foil heart.

Adhere the mosaic heart pattern of the From My Heart DSP to the 5 1/4 x 4 inch Real
Red CS.

Adhere the 3 3/4 x 1 1/4 inch foil dot pattern of the From My Heart DSP to the 4 x 1 1/2 inch Real Red CS.

Adhere the 4 x 1 1/2 inch Real Red CS with the dotted design of the From My Heart DSP to the heart mosaic design piece.

Use your Bone Folder to fold the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch Whisper White CS on the 4 1/4 inch score line. This will give you a nice crisp fold. This is your card base.

Adhere the mosaic heart card piece to the front of the Whisper White CS card base.

Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the heart sentiment piece.

Adhere the heart sentiment piece to the card front.

Tie a bow with the Red Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon. Watch the video if needed.

Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the bow to the card front.

And Viola! you have a beautiful and simple Valentine’s Day card to share with someone you love!

Two Heartfelt Hearts

It’s Valentine’s week and it is not just for couples. This is a great time to let someone know just how much you love them.

These two Valentine’s Day cards are just wonderful for sharing your love. Today I will show you how to make the Two Hearts card.

This card is made with the Stampin’ Up! Heartfelt stamp set available in the 2020 Mini Catalog which you can view at my store.

Measurements: Whisper White Card stock (CS) 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches scored at 4 1/4 inches and 5 x 3 3/4 inches, Real Red CS 5 1/4 x 4 inches, From My Heart Designer Series Paper (DSP) 5 x 2 1/4 inches and a strip of the foil hearts from the From My Heart DSP.

Adhere the 5 x 2 1/4 inch From My Heart DSP to the bottom of the 5 x 3 3/4 inch Whisper White CS.

Tip: Since this stamp set is Photopolymer, use the Stampin’ Pierce mat to get the best image. Stamp the sentiment “Roses are red, Violets are blue” in Real Red ink onto the right side of the Whisper White CS portion, just above the border of the From My Heart DSP.

Use the Bone Folder to fold the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch Whisper White CS at the 4 1/4 inch score line. This is your card base.

Stamp the sentiment “Being friends is better than eating candy (but let’s do that too)” on the inside of the Whisper White CS card base in Real Red ink.

Stamp a few heart doilies on the inside with Flirty Flamingo ink.

You can clean the extra ink off of the Stampin’ Pierce mat with a baby wipe or wet rag.

Punch out the foil hearts from the From My Heart DSP using the scalloped-edged heart punch from the Heart Punch Pack.

Adhere the stamped Whisper White card piece to the 5 1/4 x 4 inch Real Red CS.

Measure the Red Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon to be about 1 inch longer on each side of the card piece.

Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon to the card piece. Tip: The easiest way to get the glue dot onto the ribbon is to press the ribbon on top of the glue dot while it is on the roll.

I also put a glue dot in the center of the ribbon to hold it in place, then flip the card piece over and adhere the ribbon to the back side.

Adhere the card piece to the front of the Whisper White card base, making sure the inside sentiment is in the proper orientation.

Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Flirty Flamingo foil heart.

Tip: When you have used all the Dimensionals there is a border left behind. Cut into smaller pieces and use these as well.

Position the two foil hearts, then adhere the Real Red foil heart with Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Snail Adhesive.

Peel off the protective cover on the Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere the Flirty Flamingo foil heart over the top of the Real Red foil heart.

Next you will need some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels and the Take Your Pick tool to add some bling. (Sorry about the blurry photo of the rhinestones).

Use the pick end of the Take Your Pick tool to get under the adhesive of the rhinestone and move it into position on your card. Gently press on the rhinestone with your finger to secure it to the card and remove the pick.

I used three rhinestones.

And Viola! my fellow stampers! You have a wonderful card to send to share your love with someone special!

Heartfelt Love

One of the best things about making cards is that you can share a little love with someone and make their day. I find that I also get a good feeling by sharing a card with someone.

Since Valentine’s Day is coming I decided to stock up on some cards for the occasion.

Stampin’ Up!’s Heartfelt stamp set, available in the new 2020 Mini Catalog, is great for spreading some love.

I also made this version using the sentiment in the Meant to Be stamp set.

The Meant to Be stamp set is in the 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.

Measurements: Whisper White cardstock (CS) 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches scored at 4 1/4 inches for the card base and a 4 x 3 inch piece; Flirty Flamingo CS 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inches; From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) 5 3/8 x 3 inches; Sparkle Glimmer Paper 4 x 3 inches; and one Flirty Flamingo Heart Doily. If you want to make both versions of the card you would need two of each piece.

In addition I used the Heart Punch Pack. This is available as a set or you can get a bundle that includes the Heartfelt stamp set and the Heart Punch Pack.

Stamp the heart sentiment from the Heartfelt stamp set in Stampin’ Up! Real Red ink and punch out with the smooth edged heart punch.

For the second card, use the sentiment from the Meant to Be stamp set and punch with the smooth edged heart punch.

Use the scalloped edge heart punch to punch a heart from the Sparkle Glimmer Paper.

Use the Bone Folder to fold the card base and make a crisp fold.

Adhere the From My Heart DSP to the 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inch piece of Flirty Flamingo CS. Using the Real Red 3/8 inch Double-Stitched Ribbon, measure about 1 inch past each side.

Use a Glue Dot by putting the ribbon over the Glue Dot to apply one to each end. Position the ribbon and press the edge around to the back to adhere the ribbon.

Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the heart sentiment. I cut my Stampin Dimensionals in half to make them last longer. Adhere the Stampin’ Dimensionals to the other sentiment if you are making both versions.

Peel the protective cover from the Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the Sparkle Glimmer scalloped heart.

Adhere the Sparkle Glimmer scalloped heart to the Flirty Flamingo Heart Doily. Tip: I use the Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue. You may also use the Snail Adhesive. I prefer the Tombow because it allows you to adjust the piece for a second after you adhere the two pieces together. Also, the Tombow holds for a longer period of time.

Adhere the Heart Doilies to the left side of the From My Heart DSP.

Tie a bow with the Real Red 3/8 inch Double-Stitched Ribbon and adhere to the right side of the card with a few Glue Dots. To see how to make a bow, look for the To Make A Bow Video in this post https://theresas-treasures.com/2019/11/19/christmas-is-coming/

Use the Take Your Pick Tool to pick up a From My Heart Faceted Gem.

Apply a small dot of the Tombow or use a Glue Dot to adhere to the front of the card. Tip: If you place the embellishment in a triangle it appears more pleasing to the eye.

And Viola! you now have a couple of Valentine’s Day cards ready to send some love to someone special! I hope you enjoyed this post. Leave a comment and let me know how I am doing.
