Bee My Valentine Hearts Valentine Card

Country Bouquet Hearts Valentine Card

Are you making Valentines? Here is a fun one, the Country Bouquet Hearts Valentine Card, with lots of stamped hearts! Sometimes I like to just stamp randomly all over the card. It just feels good and the simplicity is nice!

For this card, I used the solid heart in the Bee My Valentine Stamp Set in the Spring Mini Catalog. I started by stamping three Sweet Sorbet hearts. Then I just chose several other colors and mostly stamped three hearts of each color. You can use whatever color theme you like! I think I used Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight, Soft Sea Foam, and Calypso Coral. I crammed them in there! Be sure to turn the stamp or paper so they are all going in slightly different directions. Not to be one to know when to stop, I also added some really small hearts stamped in Melon Mambo ink.

Before adhering the hearts card front, I wrapped around a piece of Silver & White 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon down the side. After adhering the front layer to the Sweet Sorbet card base, I tied a bow around that piece of ribbon. I liked this ribbon because you could still see through it to see the colored hearts.

For the greeting, I chose “With Love” in the Country Bouquet Stamp Set. I wanted to stamp it on the heart punched out of the Country Bouquet Punch but it was too long so I had to stamp each word by carefully inking up only one word at a time. It was risky but I did it! I could have done it a more careful way but I took a chance! I popped up the stamped heart over a diecut rectangle in the Timeless Arrangements Dies. Then I scattered around some Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels.

Have fun making some Valentines!

Country Floral Lane Punched Red Hearts Valentine

This Country Floral Lane Punched Red Hearts Valentine uses a little bit of several things for this card in the Country Floral Lane Suite in the Spring Mini Catalog 2023. (As I write this, this Suite is back-ordered until mid-April because the Country Bouquet Punch unfortunately is unavailable until then, as well as the Bundle. The ribbon combo will be available in about three weeks. But other items are available individually.)

This card has a Sweet Sorbet card base with a Basic White layer. Just add some designer paper and a little stamping and you have a Valentine! Each side of the Basic White layer has a 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ strip of the Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

In the middle of the card, I punched five hearts from the cute print with little white hearts in the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper. Since these modern hearts have a slight curve to them, if you want some hearts to curve in the opposite direction, just punch from the other side of the paper! With this paper, pay attention to the pattern so you don’t get the hearts upside down! Just play around with how you like the hearts placed.

Next, I did a little stamping. The center white heart is punched out and then stamped (or you can do it the opposite way!) with a greeting in the Country Bouquet Stamp Set. You can punch out the heart itself first or stamp the heart outline and even the greeting inside it and then punch it out. I wish there was a larger heart for layering, but there isn’t so I just punched out a Sweet Sorbet cardstock heart and let it peek out over the top of the white heart. It adds a little something but nobody would notice the entire heart isn’t layered underneath. The white heart is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For some risky stamping (could have messed up the whole card!), I stamped the little outlines of two hearts around in some of the empty spaces on the card using Sweet Sorbet ink. Fortunately, it all worked out! No messes! For a little bling, I added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I forgot to take a photo, but on the inside of the card, I stamped “Happy Valentine’s Day” on a layer of Basic White and then punched out two hearts – one with the gingham like on the side of the front of the card and one with the tiny white hearts like the hearts on the front of the card and just layered them side by side on the lower right-hand corner. That makes the inside very cute!

Time to make Valentines! February is almost here! Not everything has to be red, white, or pink so use your creativity!

Country Floral Lane Hearts Valentine Card

Country Floral Lane Hearts Valentine Card

It’s less than a month until Valentine’s Day so I guess it is time to get busy making some cards! This Country Floral Lane Hearts Valentine Card is pretty easy to make! As usual, it turned out a little different than my original idea!

This card is made with products in the Country Floral Lane Suite. The card base is Sweet Sorbet, one of the coordinating colors in the designer papers in the Suite. The little strip of hearts on the left side of the card is a pattern in the Country Floral Lane 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. I adhered it to the Basic White cardstock but didn’t adhere it to the card base until I added the ribbon first.

For the hearts, I intended to stamp different colors of hearts but then I grabbed the Country Bouquet Punch and punched out the bottom row of hearts and leaves on the designer paper. I decided not to use the leaves that punched out from the paper, just the hearts. The top and bottom hearts are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the middle one is adhered flat on the card front.

I did do some stamping with the pair of little hearts in Sweet Sorbet ink. After attaching the White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to the card and tying on a bow, I adhered the card front to the card base. At first, I wasn’t sure how a greeting was going to fit on this card, but I stamped the “Happy Valentine’s Day” greeting in the Country Bouquet Stamp Set on an already die-cut banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies. It just fit! I adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals across the middle of the card. Then, yes, I had to add three Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels for a little sparkle!

There you have it, my first Valentine card of the year! It’s time to get started!
