I Love Our Life Together

We are one month and one day away from Valentine’s Day – it’ll be here before we know it. As such, I’m sharing a small, sweet Valentine’s Day card I’ve made with several new products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Occasions Catalog – the papers, the stamps and the dies are all new. Here’s my 9″ x 2-1/2″ card (scored at 4-1/2″ so it fits perfectly in the envelopes that come with the Narrow Note Cards & Envelopes):

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Meant to Be. While I have shared several projects that showcase the amazing Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies, this is the first time I’m inking up the Meant to Be stamp set – such a great bundle! Not only does this card work perfectly at Valentine’s Day, but it’s an important set to have throughout the year – weddings, anniversaries and thank yous. Here’s a look at the Meant to Be Bundle:The heart that’s the focal point of my card was cropped with one die and two pieces of cardstock. The die cuts out two pieces – the heart AND the scalloped, stitched frame. I stamped the heart and sentiment before cropping the heart with the die. I ran the die through the Big Shot a second time with a piece of Lovely Lipstick cardstock to crop the border. I put them together, flipped them over and taped the white heart inside the red frame:After I stamped the heart with the sweet flowers with Lovely Lipstick, I used a Blender Pen to pull in some of the ink from the stamped image. A subtle, quick way to add color.
  
• A Perfect Pair. I designed this card to fit perfectly in an envelope from the Narrow Notecards & Envelopes – I only changed the layout of the base – my card scores along the thin top rather than the long side.To tie-in the envelope to the card, I added a panel of the All My Love Designer Series Paper to the flap of the envelope and snipped around it.
• Valentine’s Day Color Combination. All three of the colors I used on this card are pulled right from the All My Love Designer Series Paper:When I first introduced the new papers from the 2019 Occasions Catalog, I selected a color combination I loved from each pack of papers (you can see that post here). The colors I used today are the colors I chose in that post. If you like this combination of Crumb Cake, Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick, please save this:
