Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we’re all thinking about making beautiful Stampin Up Valentine Cards, such as my card share for today.
Do you have retired Stampin Up products that you find yourself still using? Aren’t there some items you just cannot give up? Well, I experience this from time to time, as I did when making this Stampin Up Valentine Card.
This valentine card is simple to make but can take a little time because I used a lot of the retired Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (don’t know why the item was retired!), which takes some time. You can see better in the below picture all the elements on which I used the embossing powder.
The embossing powder was used on the Whisper White Card Stock piece to the left on which I used the Adorning Accents Edgelits (125595). It was also used on the blending ink art piece (click HERE for instructions on the technique), the laser-cut heart on the bottom of the multiple layers of hearts, and the second heart from the top. The laser-cut heart, which is Primrose Petals in color, is in the new Stampin Up More Amore Specialty DSP (129309).
