Friendship Valentine Card with Yana

Valentine’s Day cards, I think, are not just for the love birds, but can be given other people - friends, family, even co-workers.

Hello friends, this is Yana and today I’m sharing an example of such a card created using some older products from WPlus9.

I filmed a video tutorial showing my cardmaking process from start to finish.

I wanted to use “Hugs & Kisses & Valentine Wishes” sentiment from the the Valentine Wishes stamp set for my card. I decided to alter the sentiment a bit and use large Whimsy Alpha letters to spell Hugs Kisses.

I stamped my letters in Falling For Blue ink, cut them out using companion dies and also created a banner stamped in Lake House with “Valentine Wishes" stamped in Falling For Blue.

After foam mounting letters and banner onto a Dove Grey cardstock panel I added selective dry embossing using my bone folder and scoring board just like I did in their post here; I’m rather enjoying this old technique these days - I feel it lets me easily add unique texture to my cards.

I also stamped and cut out images using Fresh Cut Florals stamp set. I used Silver Lining as well as Bloomsberry and Cockleshell ink colors for my stamping and added little floral details to my sentiment cluster.

Have fun stamping!
