This Love You Always Fancy Heart Card can certainly be for Valentine’s Day tomorrow or it can be for other occasions! I left off a greeting just to show that you can use this card design in multiple ways.
The card base is Blushing Bride because it coordinates with the beautiful designer paper I used on the card. The Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper is so pretty on this card. It’s always a little hard to photograph paper that has foil accents as this one does. You always get a little glare! But I think you can see the shine a little bit of the foil.
Can you tell that I used three strips of paper on this card front? I cut two strips from the light Blushing Bride pink paper and then a strip of the Rococo Rose darker pink paper. You can cut the sizes however you like. I have a very narrow margin around the edge of the card. You can cut the strips larger than you want them and then trim down to see what will fit on the card base. These strips were glued right down onto the card base.
The die-cut scalloped heart I just love and is in the Many Hearts Dies. I cut it out of Rococo Rose Cardstock. In the center is a plain die-cut Basic White heart overlaid with the floral heart die in the same set cut out of Blushing Bride. The Basic White behind the floral heart makes it show up against the Rococo Rose heart. I like the way it turned out.
For an embellishment, I tied a bow with the very pretty Blushing Bride 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon and adhered it to the top of the heart with a few Mini Glue Dots. The ribbon has one satin side and one metallic side so you get a little bit of both when you tie a bow!
You can add a greeting to this card, but I thought it looked pretty enough without one. It would make a special Valentine, or a gorgeous engagement, wedding or anniversary card. I always say hearts are for any time so you can get a lot of use out of heart stamps or dies!
If you don’t have contrasting designer paper to use on a card design like this, you can stamp different designs on strips of paper and use it the same way! Maybe this Love You Always Fancy Heart Card will give you an idea of a card to make for Valentine’s Day or some other occasion.
