Yes, I know Valentine’s Day is over, but who knows, maybe you need one more valentine for someone today! I didn’t get around to posting this one and it’s one I like because it is a quick and easy valentine! And who doesn’t like quick and easy!
Even if you don’t need another valentine, think of the basic design of this card and think about how you could easily change it into a card for any other occasion.
This valentine has a card base of Real Red (of course!) with a layer of the From My Heart Designer Series Paper. I thought this particular pattern looked really cute on this card! For the focal point, I just have two hearts. The frilly background heart is die-cut with the Be Mine Stitched Dies in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. The heart on the front is stamped on Whisper White with a stamp in the Heartfelt Stamp Set in Real Red Ink. Then it is punched out with the scallop-edge heart punch in the Heart Punch Pack.
Just for a little something-something, before I adhered the hearts, I used a little Snail Adhesive to hold down a strip of Real Red 3/8″ Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon, just in the center. You can either pop up the hearts with Stampin’ Dimensionals or adhere the hearts flat on the card.
Now if you don’t need a valentine today, all you need to do is change out the hearts to some other focal point whether it be an image or a greeting. You can still use designer paper as a layer and you can still add a strip of ribbon behind the center image. Just keep it simple, whatever you make!
Happy Day-After Valentine’s Day!
