Valentine Love Card

If you need a quick, but beautiful Valentine's Day card, this is the card for you.  
The card base is made using Blushing Bride card stock that has been cut to 
8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and then scored at 4 1/4".  The back panel is Blushing Bride Glimmer paper cut to 4" x 5 1/4".  Adhere the Blushing Bride Glimmer panel to the card front. The Blushing Bride card stock top panel was cut using the Detailed Floral Thinlits dies and the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.  The Big Shot Die Brush makes it a cinch to get all of the little pieces punched out of the top panel. The sentiment is from the Love Sparkles stamp set and is stamped with Sweet Sugarplum ink.  The "twinkles" are accented with a touch of clear Wink of Stella.  The top panel is adhered to the Glimmer panel using liquid glue.
The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Sealed with Love stamp set and is stamped with Sweet Sugarplum ink.  The heart is from the Love Sparkles stamp set and is also stamped with Sweet Sugarplum ink.  The "twinkle" mark on the heart was accented with a touch of clear Wink of Stella and then highlighted with a rhinestone jewel.

Valentine's Day Blog Hop


Welcome to the Team Stamp It Group Valentine's Day Blog Hop.  
Whether you started the blog hop with my blog or "hopped" over to my blog from one of my teammates blog, I am happy you stopped by.  
This Valentine card was a fun card to make using the Balloon Pop-Up and Love Notes dies, both of which are sold individually or as a bundle with their coordinating stamp set in the new 2017 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog.  To make this card, you will need an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Real Red card stock, scored at 4 1/4".  Using the "floral" heart stamp from the Sealed with Love stamp set, randomly stamp all over the card front with Real Red ink.
The inside of the card was made using an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock scored at 4 1/4" and the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits dies.  Align the center of the Balloon Pop-Up die with the score line of the Whisper White card stock panel and run through the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.  Once cut out and all of the cut away pieces are removed, you will want to trim about 3/8" off the top of the two side balloons.  Using Real Red card stock and the heart die from the Sweet and Sassy Framelits dies set that is a little larger than the center heart, cut out the center heart with the Big Shot. The lined heart was made using Real Red card stock and the lined heart die from the Love Notes Framelits set.  The third heart was made using the "heart" paper that is included in the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack and the matching heart from the Sweet and Sassy Framelits dies.  Adhere the center heart to the card first.   I found that if I scored the heart down the center before I adhered it on to the card it seemed to work better.  Next adhere the other two hearts to the card making sure that you are covering the balloons that are functioning as the base.  If the balloons show around the edges, use your paper snips to carefully trim the exposed balloon away.  Stamp the banner on the card inside panel with the ribbon banner stamp from the Balloon Adventures Stamp set in Real Red ink.  The sentiments are stamped in Real Red ink and are from the Sealed with Love Stamp set.  
Next fold the inside card panel in an accordion or "W" fold with the center fold as the peak and the other two folds the valley.  Because you will want the center of the card to "pop out" when you open it, adhere the inside panel about 3/8" from the side edges of the Real Red card front, only adhere the panel up to the two outer folds.  Cut two strips approximately 3/8" x 5 1/2" using the Red with White heart paper from the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack.  Adhere these strips to the outer edges of the inside of the card, leaving a little bit of the Real Red card base exposed and overlapping a little bit on the inside card panel. 
Add the Delicate White Doilies to the card front by adhering only the center "solid" part of the doilies.  The Whisper White heart is cut out using the largest heart from the Sweet and Sassy Framelits dies and the Big Shot.  The sentiment is from the Sealed with Love Stamp set and is stamped in Real Red ink.  Cut out two arrows from the Love Notes Framelits using the Big Shot and Basic Black card stock.  Adhere one of the arrows to the lower side of the heart, adhering the arrow to the back of the heart.  Cut off the "feathered" end of the other arrow and add a small amount of liquid glue to about half of the shaft.  Adhere this arrow to the front of the heart.  Adhere the heart to the card front panel using Stampin' Dimensionals.
