Hi everyone! Hard to believe that this first month of 2025 is already almost over and February is nearly here! Wasn't it just New Year's? But hey, if you're a card maker there's just enough time to finish up those Valentines!
A few of my designer paper pads were stacked randomly on my desk and I noticed how dramatic the black, red, white, pink and teal looked together. With these paper pads it was easy to pull together a card that required minimal stamping and practically no coloring.
The "cross my heart" block on the inside is just another square of designer paper that was practically the perfect size with minimal need for trimming. I added a little scrap of white underneath so there'd be space for the sentiment and a signature. I used a Copic marker to make a teeny tiny heart next to the sentiment to tie it in with the tiny hearts on the designer paper.
Supplies:
I had some card stock scraps laying alongside my trimmer and decided to use one (a leftover piece of pink card stock that measured 3.5 x 11 inches) as a card base. The overhanging banner die brings the card's full finished measurement to 4.25 x 5.5 inches.
It's hard to see here but the black background from Craft Consortium's Scorched Paper designer paper pad has just the faintest hint of pink in it. The Valentine papers are all from Echo Park Love Notes and were all die-cut using our fishtail banners die set. Since one of those little designer prints included hearts dangling clothes-line style, I was inspired to dangle a little heart-shaped button from a piece of baker's twine to the front of my card. Just needed to stamp a couple of sentiments from our Farmhouse series. Easy peasy!
