Hello and good morning, friends! This is Melissa with you here today with last-minute greeting card ideas for Valentine’s Day! I created these love-themed cards using both the January and February monthly releases along with the Sincere Sentiments Wonderful You collection:
Supplies | January 2022 Kit, Ledger Die Cut Tags, Fuchsia Cardstock Label Stickers, Jane Tile Alphabet Cardstock Stickers – Fuchsia, Heart and Star Chipboard Stickers – Warm, Love You Paper Stack, Currently Stamp, Good Times Banner Stamp, Sincere Sentiments Wonderful You Stamp, Sincere Sentiments Wonderful You Metal Die
The card with the striped background was a surprisingly quick card to put together. I used the 4 x 6 multi-colored striped journaling card from the January 2022 Kit and trimmed off the last stripe of color and adhered to a white cardstock base.
I used my leftover Heart and Star Chipboard Stickers matching the stickers to the coordinating stripes. On the middle two stripes, I stamped the repeating phrase “LOVE YOU” across in teal ink. I stamped out the word “YOU” from the Sincere Sentiments Wonderful You Stamp and cut it out with the coordinating Metal Die and placed it over my stamped stripes. I stamped the sentiment “LOVING LOVING” using the Good Times Banner Stamp and placed it over the word YOU.
For the second card, I cut out a block of the “XO” patterned paper from the Love You Paper Stack and adhered it to a white cardstock base. I used watercolor paints to quickly swipe color across this panel and let that dry. Using one of the Ledger Die Cut Tags, I adhered three of the die cut “YOU” words. A couple of pieces of ribbon were stapled to the top of the tag and then using a Fuchsia Cardstock Label Sticker and the Jane Tile Alphabet Cardstock Stickers, I created a sentiment that simply said “LOVE” and adhered over the die cut words. I mounted the Ledger Die Cut Tag to the base of the card using foam dots for some added dimension.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my cards. I bet if you pulled out some of the leftover bits and pieces from your January 2022 Kit and add-ons, you could put together a few last-minute Valentine’s Day cards!
