Time for Easy Valentine's Day Cards!

       

 It is that time again.  I was just looking back at an older post on this blog where I made a few Valentine's Day cards.  I remember making them years ago and I was so proud of my creativity.  However, I have come a long way!!!  I am even more proud of these!  I love the clean lines, the matting to give the card more thickness and stability! 

All of these little cards were made with the 6x6 inch paper pad and a pack of stickers that I purchased from Michaels Craft Store.  The paper pad is called "Sweetheart Day" and the stickers were a coordinating pack.  Both are made from Recollections.  

For these little cards I used 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" inch folded cards as the base.  I got a pack of these from Joann Fabrics.  The brand is Park Ave. and they come folded with matching envelopes.  

The Happy Valentines Day card (top left of photo) I cut a black base 2 1/4" by 3 1/4" and centered it on the front with 1/8" white border all around.  Then I used pop dots to adhere the sentiment sticker on top.  

The Be Kind card was made with a dark pink cardstock that I had in my stash and cut it at 2 1/4" by 3 1/4".  Then the heart candy patterned paper from the Sweetheart Day paper pad was cut at 2" by 3" and centered on top of the dark pink.  This gave me a double 1/8" border all around.  Then I used pop dots to give a raised look to the sentiment sticker from the sticker pack.

The XOXO card used a matching coordinating pink piece of cardstock cut at 2 1/4" by 3 1/4".  Then I put a 1 1/4" by 3 1/4" strip of white cardstock along the middle to hold the XOXO sticker.  I was in a pop dot mood so I popped this sticker up as well.  You can see the shadow from popping this sticker up.  I love the dimension it gives. 

The Flower bunch card (right of the XOXO card) uses a piece of glittery paper from the paper pad as well as a piece of acetate also from the same paper pad.  The glittery paper was cut at 2 1/4" by 3 1/4" and the acetate was cut with the same measure.  I used Art Glitter glue (dries clear) to adhere these two pieces together.  Be careful because the acetate and glitter paper are slippery together.  I let it dry before adhering it to the card base.  Then I used, yes,  you guessed it, POP DOTS to attach the sticker on top. 

The Single flower card (below the XOXO card) used a 2 1/4" by 3 1/4" piece of dark pink glitter paper as the base color. Of course, I pop dotted the pretty flower on top.  Super simple.
