All of the papers in the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper are so cute, but I especially love this paper with the candy! I decided to make a very simple and easy card to show as much of this paper as possible. As simple as it is, when I placed that paper layer on the Real Red card base to make this Sweet Talk Candy Valentine Card I just loved it! You have lots of color choices for a card base using this paper, too!
As I said, this card begins with a base of Real Red cardstock. Why not? It’s for Valentine’s Day! The Sweet Talk paper is cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Before adhering to the base, I adhered a piece of Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon around the side and then adhered that layer to the card base. Those candies just look so cute and colorful on the card!
For a greeting, I die cut the tag in the Sweet Hearts Dies and stamped the heart with greeting on it with Real Red ink. This little tag is a perfect size! Not too big and not too small. I tied it to the ribbon already on the card with a longer piece and tied a bow. To jazz up the tag a little bit, I added two Real Red die-cut hearts. I could have also stamped two little hearts as well. And of course, what would a Valentine be without a little sparkle, so I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the tag and to the designer paper.
We don’t often show the inside of the card, but I added a layer of Basic White since the Real Red is rather dark for signing or writing a message. The greeting is from the Sweet Conversations Stamp Set. Since I had some extra die cut hearts, I put two of those on the corner of the inside of the card. I could have stamped something as well from that stamp set.
You can purchase the dies and stamp set together in the Sweet Conversations Bundle and save 10% by buying them together! I like that the dies come with one to make a little envelope and that tag I mentioned, plus lots of hearts!
Valentine’s Day is really sneaking up on us fast this year it seems! It’s less than a month away and if you consider a week ahead to mail cards, we have even less time! Think about how much fun making valentines were in elementary school with the construction paper, doilies, and paste! Now we have much better materials to use! Order what you need now so you have plenty of time for Valentine-making fun!
