Clean & Simple Valentine's Day Card with Yana

Some of you will say that it’s too early to even begin thinking about Valentine’s Day, not to mention make love cards! And you are probably right. But I honestly am a bit tired of the Christmas projects at the moment (I think I’m all Christmas-ed out in terms of making cards; I’m all into Christmas decor right now), so I wanted to make a quick Valentine’s Day card for my hubby and step away from the Holiday cardmaking. Be sure to save this post or pin this card idea and come back to it before February 14th.

I used two stamp sets to create this card - a stunning floral heart from the Fresh Cut Wreaths stamp set (see more inspiration using this set here - I simply adore it for elegant & simple cards and Valentine’s Wishes set for the sentiment.

I stamped my wreath using two colors of ink - Last Leaf and Appletini (I inked up the bottom portion of the wreath using the darker green) and added flowers in Little Piggy & Cranberry Crush. I just wanted to have pinks and green on this project although this wreath is designed in such a way that you can easily stamp flowers using different ink colors.

I also stamped a banner and sub sentiment onto a separate piece of paper and cut it out using a companion die. Together with the main sentiment stamped inside the wreath it reads “”Love You Still. Always Have, Always Will”.

To add texture to this card I used my scoring board and added simple score lines every half of an inch avoiding the wreath area. So easy to do and the result, I think, is stunning. This might be my new favorite technique. We’ll see!

I adhered my stamped and scored background onto an A2 side folding card base, foam mounted my die cut banner on top and added a tiny pearl onto every line crossing to add a bit of elegance to this card.

I can’t say this a guy Valentine’s Day card, but I love the way it turned out, so that’s the card my hubby is going to get!

Have fun stamping!
