Pretty In Pink Sending Lots of Love Card

Pretty In Pink Sending Lots of Love Card

This Pretty in Pink Sending Lots of Love Card uses slightly non-traditional colors, but you can do that! I’d almost forgotten about the In Color 2024-2026 Petunia Pop! I tried to use the Color Coach Wheel to choose two colors for this card, but the In Colors are not on the wheel, but I think these two colors together work just fine.

This card base is Pretty in Pink cardstock. I used Petunia Pop for the center layer. It measures 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″. Since it looked a little plain as the background, I embossed it with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

The diecut hearts are Pretty in Pink and Basic White. I used the Hearts of Elegance Dies. These hearts don’t necessarily layer perfectly but they are close enough. Maybe that is the new style anyway! My hearts are adhered flat on the card but of course they could be popped up on Dimensionals.

The greeting is in the Hearts of Elegance Stamp Set. I love the sentiments and especially the fonts used for these! So pretty! I’d like another stamp set of various greetings in this same font. This greeting is stamped in Petunia Pop ink on Basic White. Then it was diecut with a label in the Unbounded Love Dies. You can purchase the Hearts of Elegance Stamp Set and Dies together in a Bundle if you’d like to have both and save 10%.

To embellish this card I added a white bow from the Petal Pink & White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim Combo Pack. I also added three Pretty in Pink gems in the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems for a little sparkle.

You can call this card a Valentine but as you can see it could be for other occasions because hearts can be for any time!

Hearts For a Valentine’s Day Card

This Hearts For a Valentine’s Day Card has to be one of the quickest and easiest cards I’ve ever made with no idea of what I was going to make! I know that sounds crazy, but yes, I didn’t know what I was going to make until I got out the Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper and looked at the Hearts of Elegance Dies. Since I hadn’t tried all the dies yet, I just chose one. Then after diecutting with that, I chose another heart shape, and another one, and another one. Pretty quickly I had this card made!

The card base is Melon Mambo cardstock. There are several coordinating colors listed for these designer papers, but I mostly keep coming back to Melon Mambo….or Real Red on some cards I made. First I chose the second largest heart die, the one with the pierced border around the edge. I used a piece of the Marbled Elegance Paper, thinking at first I would use “the other side” and not the marbled size. Luckily, in my package I already had a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece cut and luckily, I centered the heart die on this paper. After I cut it out it looked like the best idea was the adhere the negative piece to the card base with the marbled side up. I thought it was so pretty with that heart opening in the center. I didn’t even use the heart I had just cut out, but I saved it for another card another time.

Next I cut out another smaller heart from another piece of the marbled paper and placed it in the center of the open heart space. It needed something, so I cut out a larger heart from Gold Foil. Then for one more heart, I diecut a small gold heart with the decorative edge to place in the center. As you can see, once the hearts were all stacked on top of each other they looked so pretty!

I already had this greeting stamped and cut out in my scraps so I just adhered that flat in the corner of the card. For a moment, I thought about using the banner in the Mixed Labels Stamp Set to go across the hearts, but I liked the greeting I already had so I kept it simple and just used that. If you are trying to make a quick card, don’t overthink everything.

You could pop up some of the hearts or the negative piece on the card base. You could add some embellishments for a little sparkle. Or you can just leave it simple as is because the Marbled Elegance Designer Paper is so pretty on its own! It’s named Marbled Elegance for a reason!
