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.
