You still have a little bit more time to make some Valentines, maybe like this Valentine Card Just For You. It’s really funny how cards come together sometimes. You may have an idea of exactly what you want to make and you make it  You may be copying an idea you saw and you make that. Or you make something and it’s not quite right but with a little tweaking, you get it right to your satisfaction. And sometimes maybe you don’t have an exact design in mind but you start with some paper, add some embellishments and a greeting and it turns out great.

This card started out with just wanting to use the heart patterned paper in the All My Love Designer Series Paper.  The card base is Lovely Lipstick Cardstock with a Whisper White layer and then the heart paper.  On my table, in a pile of extra die cut pieces that I didn’t end up using, I found this large heart cut out with the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies out of the Lovely Lipstick Foil.  I cut it out to use on another card but couldn’t make it work.  So I tried it on this card and I like it!

For the greeting, I used the stamp in the Meant To Be set.  I die cut that with a square in the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies.  It is layered on a larger square in the same set cut out of the Lovely Lipstick Foil.  (That foil is just so gorgeous you would be amazed to see it in person!)  Then this square greeting is layered over the large heart.  I think it works!  What do you think?

For one more touch, I found the little swirly die cut piece out of Lovely Lipstick Cardstock with the die in the Be Mine Dies. It seemed to fit perfectly under the greeting.

Make a Valentine for someone. It might be too late to mail, unless the person would rather get a card late than no card! Or make one for your family or a neighbor or friend  Just have fun for Valentine’s Day making cards!
