I made a few “back fold” Valentine cards to send to my distant friends and customers. I used the “Endless Love” Bundle and the “Made With Love” DSP for this project. This stamp and die bundle has some great images and die cut shapes suitable for cards, scrapbook pages and gift packaging! I absolutely love all the nice colorful shades of pink and red in the “Made With Love” DSP. This card is somewhat of a CASE. Honestly, I cannot remember where I saw the original card design to give credit to the creator.
The narrow DSP panel on the right hand side, folds back so that you can open the card. Basically, I attached the large Real Red Heart to the right side panel of the card. Fold this panel back and to the right which allows the card to open. I had fun with a few of the different dies in this set. To complete my card, I added the larger arrow die cut in Basic Gray.
The colors in the “Made With Love” DSP are so bright and fun. I loved having several DSP patterns which made it super easy to mix and match the prints. As I was assembling this card, I made sure to “dry fit” my DSP pieces and inside panel before attaching. Sometimes it was necessary to trim off a very narrow strip to make sure the panels would fit. This allows the card to close along the folds.
Now for the inside…
The light pink heart on the front is attached with a narrow ribbon and swings freely. This helps to give the card some movement. I was truly happy with how cute these Valentine cards turned out. I used this stamp/die bundle and DSP at my Valentine Stamp Camp to decorate the “Hearts Gusseted Treat Bags”. The bag was super cute as well! All of these products are found in the January – April Mini Catalog, page 31.
I thought I would share the last two cards that I created with the “Love Notes DSP”. Basically, I needed a few sample cards for my display board and decided to utilize two of the 3×3 prints as focal points from the “Love Notes DSP” for my cards. Both of these cards were super easy and quick cards.
I trimmed down the DSP print and adhered to my folded Flirty Flamingo card base. Next, I die cut the “love you more” panel with a square from the “Stylish Shapes” Dies. I added an additional small layer of Flirty Flamingo and then wrapped the two layers with a piece of “Poppy Parade and White Baker’s Twine” before attaching the panel with “Dimensionals” to the Basic White scalloped square from a retired set. I thought about adding some bling, but felt there was enough texture and interest on this card front.
For the card above, I used the Azure Afternoon and Basic White plaid print from the “Love Notes DSP” pack. I chose to emboss the top portion of the Basic White panel with the “Beautiful Pattern 3D Embossing Folder”. I truly love the delicate look of this embossing folder, it has a light and airy feel, so beautiful! Just to mention, this embossing folder is found in the “OnLine Exclusives”. Basically, I just layered the 3×3 print to a larger square in Azure Afternoon and then placed it on “Dimensionals”. The retired ribbon came from my stash and added the finishing touch to this super simple, quick and cute card!
I thought I would share another card I created with the “Love Notes” DSP. This DSP has great artwork and prints that enable you to whip up quick and cute cards! HERE is my previous post where I shared another card I made using this terrific DSP. For this card, I used one of the larger prints combined with a few stamped images and dies cuts from the “Endless Love” Bundle.
My color combo for this card is Pretty in Pink, Basic Gray and Basic White. I trimmed down the large main “heart” print to fit on one of the “Textured Notes” Dies. You can find this great set of dies on the “Last Chance” list, marked down 20%! I did manage to use two of the dies in this set. One for the large layer DSP mat, the other die was used to crop the greeting with a stitched rectangle die.
Adding an intricate die cut heart from the “Endless Love” Dies helped to highlight the focal heart image. I used “Wink of Stella” Glitter Pen on the die cut so that it has a subtle shimmer, so pretty! I stamped off the smaller hearts in Flirty Flamingo ink for a lighter image. The greeting panel is from one of the other prints in this pack of DSP. I wrapped this layered greeting with a piece of “Poppy Parade and White Baker’s Twine” and tied off with a bow. I did use “Dimensionals” to elevate the greeting panel.
This truly was a super simple, quick and cute card! Have I mentioned how easy this “Love Notes” DSP is to work with? Happy Valentine’s Day to all!
