Valentine Card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

 

I decided to create a simple card for this blog hop, using basic tools and pre-prepared cards and embellishments.  I hope you enjoy and it inspires you to get creative.  😊😊😊

And…..here we go…….what do you think?  Certainly not the traditional style Valentine Card but I love the bright colours.  Makes you feel all sun shiny and warm doesn’t it? So quick, so simple, so cute and easy for anyone to do.  And what a perfect way to let a someone know you care. 

The card is from the Abstract Beauty Cards and Envelopes Pack which has 10 beautiful card bases and matching envelopes – all or stunning colour combinations and ready for you to simply stamp and send.  No need for measuring or cutting, its all done for you already.

For the enhancements on this card I just chose the little envelope die and the strip of hearts from the Sweet Heart Dies set, used a couple of pieces of cardstock that matched the colours in the card – I used Mango Melody, Polished Pink and Basic White.  

I started by simply choosing the white hearts and used multipurpose glue to adhere the strip in place.  I only used the tiniest amount of glue at the top and bottom of each heart and where two joined.  The strip wasn’t quite long enough so I cut a second strip and adjusted it to fit.

I positioned to t2o little envelopes to help break the background of the card and stamped using the Sweet Conversations Stamp Set and Tuxedo Black ink.

I’ve added the colourful heart from the Abstract Beauty Ephemera Pack and small hearts popped out from the centre of the dies.  Just spread them around to help break up the strong background and create some interest.  I wanted mine to look like they were popping out of the envelopes like tiny balloons.
