Valentine card with Sealed With Love Set


Here's a quick Valentine card to jump start your card making for the holiday that's less than 5 weeks away.  This is a really fast card yet it is very striking.     
  

Valentine Card with Stampin' Up! Sealed with Love Stamp Set




The card uses one of the dies from the Window Box Thinlit Die set to create a die cut pattern on the top part of the card. This die cut matches patterns used in the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack and in the Sealed with Love Stamp set, so I'll probably find additional ways to use this die as I create more Valentine cards.   The tag also comes from the Window Box Thinlit Die set.   One tip I'll pass on; when a die does not have a matching layer, I simply draw around the outside of the die and hand cut a perfectly-sized layering piece.


Valentine's Day Card with Saled with Love Stamp Set


A simple Real Red 3/8" stitched Satin ribbon and stamped elements and sentiments from the Sealed With Love Stamp set finishes this quick card.  One surprise when you see the card in person is that I spotted a small square of Red Glimmer Paper scrap sitting on my work space while assembling the card.  I added it behind the middle die cut and love the extra sparkle it added to the card.

Stamps: Sealed with Love

Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Red Glimmer Paper

    Beautiful You in Peekaboo Peach 


    I was cleaning up my workspace and had a few Peekaboo Peach scraps left over and decide to make a quick card.  I jumped on one of the Demonstrator Party Planning website on Facebook and saw this mirror technique and decided to use the idea for my card.   

      
    Beautiful You from the Occasions Catalog 2017




    I used the plastic sheet from the Stamp-A-Ma-jig to stamp an image and then quickly transferred it to the card while the ink was still wet.  I used the smooth side of the plastic sheet. 


    Beautiful You from the Occasions Catalog

    I used the new watercolor pencils from the Occasions catalog.  I used an aqua painter lightly over the watercolor pencils to blend the colors and make them pop. Love the results!!

    Ink:  Peekaboo Peach
