Happy Valentine’s Day

Hello!

Wishing you a very Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you get to celebrate in a fun way! Here are the cards we made in my in-person classes last month. I ran three classes at my home. The fourth class was held for residents at St. Peter’s Apartments in Columbia, PA and was promoted by the local public library. All of the cards feature the Country Lane Floral Suite in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. I’ve been so busy that I had to hastily photograph them. Please excuse the not-so-great quality of the photos. I cased two of the cards from catalog. No instructions today – just photos!

Black and Pink Country Bouquet Card

Hello!

Today’s card uses the Country Bouquet Bundle, however, I created this card with a totally different look by using my favorite Valentine’s Day colors-black, pink, and a touch of red-rather than using the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Papers. I had fun making this card and was happy that it came out looking like what I had visualized!

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
  • Cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and run through a die cutting machine with the Split Card Textures Die. Cut a piece of Polished Pink Designer Series Paper at 2 7/8″ x 5 1/4″. I used a sheet from the 2021-2023 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP that I had from the 2021-2022 annual catalog, which is now retired so you can use the DSP from the 2022-2023 annual catalog. Adhere to back of black die cut piece with liquid glue.
  • Stamp the greeting from the Country Bouquet stamp set towards the bottom of the black die cut piece with Versamark ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder. The white embossing powder is no longer sold separately. It is now included in the Basics Stampin’ Emboss Powder set, which also includes black and clear powders.
  • Stamp nine hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set with Flirty Flamingo, Polished Pink, Blushing Bride, and Sweet Sorbet or Real Red inks on piece of Basic White cardstock and punch out with the coordinating Country Bouquet Punch. Stamp both the large and small hearts, which will be used on the inside of the card.
    • Arrange the hearts along the split line on the black die cut piece, overlapping them in different directions. When you like how it looks, adhere with liquid glue. Adhere piece to the card front
    • Stamp greeting with Polished Pink ink on inside of card. Randomly adhere a few of the smaller hearts that were punched out along with the large hearts.

    Country Bouquet Card

    Hello!

    Today’s card features products from the Country Floral Lane Suite in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. It is a quick and easy card to put together. This is such a sweet collection of products and I’m having fun working with it. I like the funky heart shape and think it is whimsical! I especially love the Country Gingham 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper! I’m always happy to see gingham designs because I think they work well with just about everything as a background.

    Here is how I made the card.

    • Card base – cut a piece of Petal Pink cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
    • Cut a piece of the heart paper from the Country Floral DSP at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
    • Cut a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and a piece of Petal Pink DSP from the Country Gingham DSP at 3″ x 4 1/2″ each. Adhere to card front.
    • Run a piece of Basic White cardstock through a die cutting machine with the medium size die with the curved top from the Designer Tags Dies.
    • Stamp the large heart on the tag with Sweet Sorbet ink. Stamp the small open hearts with Petal Pink ink. Stamp greeting with Mint Macaron ink. Adhere to card front
    • Cut an 8″ length of red ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Combo Pack and tie into a bow. Adhere to top of tag with a glue dot and trim the tails on the bow.
    • Embellish with a few Petal Pink Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
