Stampin Up Valentine Cards 2013

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.

Stampin Up Valentine Cards 2013

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).

Stampin Up Adorning Accents Embossing Folders Valentine Card

Are you having fun using the new Stampin Up Adorning Accents Embossing Folders?  I used the one with multiple hearts to embellish the top and bottom of my card, in addition to three of the hearts in the card’s centerpiece.

I used one of the stamps from the upcoming Sale-A-Bration, Fresh Vintage Stamp Set (125117), to create the background upon which the centerpiece sits. The centerpiece was made by using the Stampin’ Up! Heart-to-Heart Punch and the new Embosslits Fashionable Hearts, and they are embellished with Crystal Effects. I randomly attached the hearts onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and drew the swirls, curls and leaves in black ink. The curls and swirls are embellished with Basic Rhinestones, and the leaves are embossed with Silver Stampin’ Embossing Powder.

The cardstock and designer series paper used on the card front is Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Series Paper. Lastly, I added two pieces of the Cherry Cobbler Scallop Dots Ribbon near the top and bottom of the card. I hope you enjoy this card!!

Stampin Up Hearts Framelits Valentine Card

Are you enjoying the new Stampin Up Hearts Framelits? Aren’t they fantastic? Or maybe you haven’t ordered them yet! Please do; you’ll love them! I used one when developing this Valentine Card.

Stampin Up Hearts Framelits
 

I water colored the primary element on this card – the stamped bird and flowers heart-shaped image that is from the gorgeous stamp set, Take it to Heart. I used one of the Stampin Up Hearts Framelits to cut out the stamped image. I used the same framelit to cut out the heart in the center of the card’s first layer, the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, and then slipped the water-colored piece inside.

The banner that holds the sentiment is also from the Take it to Heart stamp set. The sentiment, “Be My Valentine”, is from the Sweet Cake stamp set, and the small heart stamp from the Take it to Heart stamp set was used to stamp Cherry Cobbler ink onto the card’s first layer. The card base was made with Island Indigo Cardstock. The hearts in the four corners of the card were cut out with the Heart to Heart Punch and embellished with the new hearts Adorning Accents Embossing Folder. I hope you enjoy today’s feature!

This picture provides a closeup of the water-colored bird and flowers.

Stampin Up Valentine Card and Owl Punch

Today’s share is a Stampin Up Valentine Card featuring the Stampin Up Owl Punch and the owl stamp from the Stampin Up (SU) Sale-a-bration Punch Bunch Stamp Set. This stamp set is free with the purchase of $50 in SU products or a $300 net sales workshop.

This Stampin Up Valentine Card is meant for a best girlfriend. The sentiment, Whooose Your Valentine?” and the stamp, “Friend” is meant to be read as, “Whooose your Valentine, Friend?” The sentiment, “Whooose Your Valentine”, was made with My Digital Studio (MDS) and cut with the banner portion of the wonderful Petal Cone Bigz Die. (Isn’t it great that if you don’t have a stamp that meets your need, all you need to do is create it with MDS?)
