You get lots of hearts in the stamp set and dies I used to make this easy slim card, Trio of Hearts Valentine Card, for Valentine’s Day or really any time! These hearts are pretty big but they still fit perfectly on this slimline card.
I just got the Lots of Heart Bundle, which has the Lots of Heart Stamp Set and the Many Hearts Dies. And there really are many heart dies in that set! In fact, I recommend making a copy of the sheet with all the dies still adhered with your printer and keep it with your dies so you can see clearly what you are supposed to have! There are 15 different dies in the set!
To make this card, I decided to make pastel-colored hearts so I started with a card base of Pool Party Cardstock. I cut the paper 6″ x 6″ so that when I folded it in half, it would be 3″ x 6″ for a slimline card. The Whisper White layer is just a tiny bit narrower than the card base, 2 7/8″ x 5 7/8″.
I stamped the hearts on another piece of Whisper White and then die cut with one of the heart dies. This heart die also cuts a narrow outline of the heart, which I didn’t notice at first so the excess paper was getting left in the die. If you have this set, make sure you check the underside of your heart die because if you cut several times, that paper still stuck in the die will prevent getting a complete cut after awhile!
The hearts are stamped in Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron, and Pool Party ink. Since the photopolymer stamps are new, even though I wiped them on my Shammy a couple of times, the ink still beaded up a tiny bit when I stamped, but I don’t think it’s anything that’s bad enough to jump out. I adhered the hearts flat on the white card layer, but I could have popped them up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. Either way is fine. I did stamp the greeting in Pool Party Ink and then popped that up on Dimensionals. The greeting is in the Lots of Heart Stamp Set.
I almost left it as is at that point, but I decided to add some Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Who can resist a few rhinestones?! And for a final touch, I just used a piece of white twine I had to make a little bow on the center heart, adhered with a rolled-up Mini Glue Dot.
This is one example of how you can make an easy Valentine using three hearts in the Lots of Heart Stamp Set in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog on page 15.
