Quick, Easy & Fabulous Valentine Card

Hello friends,

Do you need a fun and easy Valentine card?  I've got just the thing for you today.  This is not my original idea, I saw it on YouTube with Helen Wilson and really liked it so thought I would share.  I'm using dies and papers from Elizabeth Craft Designs for my card.

For this card you will need a 6" square of paper.  Find the center and then fold each corner to the center mark and crease. 

After all 4 sides have been creased, turn paper with right side facing up.  Cut 4 red hearts and 4 white hearts.  I used the Scalloped and the Stitched hearts on my card.  Glue hearts together and then place on the card with the point of the paper in the center of the rounded parts of the heart.  Be sure to center the hearts and glue them as straight as possible with the point of the hearts lined up with the center of the crease.
I have linked all products below so you can find them with one click.

 On the inside, I simply cut a square of red and then added the Stitched Indented Square panel.
The final step is to add a die cut from the True Love die set and it's finished.

Instead of trying to explain how it closes, I thought I would just show you in a short video.

Until next time, happy Crafting my friends,

S@ndy

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day,

Just popping in with a quick Valentine's Day card that I can now share since I already gave Mac his card.  It is rather clean and simple because, after all, he's a guy.  It's a 5" X 5.5 " gate fold card that is held closed with a belly band.

I used lots of Elizabeth Craft Designs dies, stamps and paper for this one.  Links are below if you want to shop.

Have a wonderful day,

You Fill My Heart

Hi my friends, today is our monthly team challenge at Elizabeth Craft Designs and our theme is Valentine's Day with You Fill My Heart.  I used a few of the wonderful dies that fit this theme to make my card. Enjoy!

For today's challenge Elizabeth Craft Designs are giving away a $20 Gift Card to use on our website to 3 winners. 

To enter simply leave a comment on the Elizabeth Craft Designs Challenge post and tell us "What Elizabeth Craft Designs dies or stamp sets would you use to create a Valentine’s Card??”

 We will select 3 lucky winners in a random drawing 

The winners will be announced on Friday, February 1st on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog.

Here's how I made my card-

This is a 6" X 6" top fold card.  The base is made from ModaScrap Simply Love paper.
Using White Soft Finish Cardstock, cut one square using the Dashing Squares die.
From White Soft Finish Cardstock, cut 4 heart boarders using the Valentine Edges die.
From red cardstock cut the heart using the Heart Cutouts die.

Using the Love Sentiments stamp set and a stamp positioner - lay out stamps as desired.
For this card I carefully cut apart one of the stamps that says "sent with" because I only wanted the word "with". You can always piece them back together for the entire phrase.

To finish off this card I added the Heart Edges all around and then placed the large heart and the smaller ones the way I liked them.

Don't forget to head on over to the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog.  You will want to enter your comment to win the great prize and to see what the entire team made.

Stay Crafty,

S@ndy

Valentine's Card

Hi everyone and happy Saturday.  I have a quick card for Valentine's Day to share with you today. 

 

I used some of the new Through the Lens paper, Wood, from the Els van de Burgt collection at Elizabeth Craft Designs.  These great papers will be available at the end of February.  I also used the new Stitched Squares.  What goes better with wood than a beaver?  Here is Baker the Beaver - one of the new dies just released from Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.

 

On the inside of the card you can see that Baker is holding a gift box of yummy chocolates for his, hopefully,  valentine.

 

All die sets used are linked below so just chick away to shop.

Other papers used are from Stampin Up.

It seems that Baker found a challenge to enter over at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where they are asking for Love is in the Air + Use Red.  Red is on the inside so hope the team will come take a look. 
While he was poking around he found Create with Critters over at
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

 

I hope you have enjoyed and have a wonderful weekend,
