Hi Crafty Friends!
Can you believe this weather? It’s 74 degrees here in NW Arkansas – so much warmer than usual! I hope you’re getting a break from the cold and enjoying some sunshine too.
I’m loving the Nature’s Symphony Stamp Set Bundle for its versatility! The leafy sprigs, textured background, and thoughtful sentiments bring such a natural, organic feel to my card. It works beautifully for casual cards, scrapbook pages, and just about any project that needs a touch of botanical style.
This is my last Valentine’s card for the year since I’m mailing them all out tomorrow. Everyone’s local, so they’ll arrive just in time!
Card Instructions:
I started with Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock cut to 11″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″, and folded in half. I used my Bone Folder to get a nice sharp crease. Then I layered Secret Sea Cardstock (5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″) onto the base card, followed by the Nature’s Walk Designer Series Paper (DSP).
For the textured panel, I die cut Secret Sea Cardstock (4 1/2″ x 3″) using the Textured Notes Dies.
Quick note: I can’t believe these dies are being retired! They’re definitely a keeper in my collection – I’ll be holding onto them and using them for years to come because they’re one of my all-time favorites.
After die cutting, I attached the panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The large leaf is from the Nature’s Symphony Dies and was die cut using the Nature’s Walk DSP. I secured it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Next, I die cut two hearts from the Endless Love Dies – one in Very Vanilla and one in Lost Lagoon Cardstock. I embossed the smaller heart with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, then glued both hearts to the lower right side of the card (see the photo for placement).
I stamped the greeting with Secret Sea Classic Ink, punched it out with the Three Banner Punch, and attached it to the hearts using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. To finish, I attached a small bow from the Natural tones Linen Thread and added Faux Bronze Pentagons for a little extra sparkle.
For the inside, I used the largest die from the Textured Notes Dies to cut a Secret Sea Cardstock panel. I added a Very Vanilla Cardstock layer on top and stamped the sentiment from the Endless Love Stamp Set. I finished off the envelope by adding a strip of the same Nature’s Walk DSP I used on the card front – it ties everything together nicely! I trimmed it to size with my Paper Snips.
