STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Pretty paper is a quick way to add splash to a valentine card. I used this adorable heart pattern from Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack. Each sheet is 6″ x 6″ and perfect for card making. Get a close up look at all NEW designer series paper.
- A 4″ x 1.5″ piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock is “wrapped” with a piece of Whisper White 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon. Looks like a gift!
- The elegant “My Valentine” sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up! Bloomin’ Love photopolymer stamp set. It’s one of My Favorite Things from the Occasions Catalog.
- The final polish comes from another piece of Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper lining the Crumb Cake Medium Envelope.
- Creating the perfect sized liner for the envelope is easy to do using the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and Envelope Liners Framelits Dies.
