Use the “Valentine” paper for other cards and occasions as well, like this Easy Just For You Card that could be for a birthday, thinking of you, or any kind of friendly card! This All My Love Designer Series Paper in the Occasions Catalog has hearts on the opposite side of the flowered pattern, but on this side, the card can be for anything. The bottom strip of neutral paper has flowers on the other side. It’s great when we have “holiday” paper that can also be used for other occasions in case we don’t use it all up for the holiday!
The greeting comes from the Meant to Be Stamp Set which also has Valentine’s and “love” sentiments, but “Just For You” can be for non-holiday use! Who wouldn’t like to receive a card that was meant for them?! Remember, when you use these new sticky Cling Stamps to be careful taking them off the block. Make sure you are under the cling label before you peel it off the block or you might rip the foam. It is not difficult, you will get into the habit of doing it just like everything else.
For a simple embellishment behind the layered greeting, I used a piece of the Whisper White 5/8″ Flax Ribbon. It is just tacked down with a little adhesive and the greeting is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Very simple.
Remember, sometimes the easy designs are the best! You could embellish this card a little bit more if you wanted to, but it is just fine as it is. I like using the two pieces of designer paper on the card. Sometimes just in mixing and matching the patterns, you can come up with other card ideas. You could also have just one piece of designer paper and let the cardstock show. Add a greeting and maybe some ribbon or a little bling. That’s all.
