Simple St.Valentines card using left over Red Foil Cardstock

2/6/2016

Yesterday I showed you a card that used Red Foil cardstock as a whole layer - and if you cut that foil carefully you'll get 12 cards from a pack of card with a few bits left over.
Here is what I did with those left over bits....punched out lots of little hearts using the mini hearts punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.
I embossed some thick Whisper White cardstock with the Happy Heart Texture folder and added a little X and O from the Bloomin' Love Stamp Set.

All You Need Is Love

Welcome to Creatin' With Kirsteen and welcome to the Stampin' Up! Grand Vacation Achievers Blog Hop for January.
If you get off track at any time, the full line up of blogs is at the bottom of this post and can help you move along from blog to blog.
This month our theme is 'All You Need Is Love'.
I've done a few St.Valentines and 'Love' themed projects lately...but I am SO not a 'hearts' or lovey-dovey girl...
And, although Stampin' Up! has awesome St.Valentines appropriate product, the thought of making MORE St.Valentines stuff kind've made me panic...So, I went 'Wedding' for our hop theme this month.

For the card I revisited a favorite fancy fold and used the Botanical Builder Framelits and Blusing Bride Glimmer Paper and card stock.

This cute matching favor box was made using the Cutie Pie Thinlits Dies .

For this heart decor piece I again used the Botanical Builder Framelits to cut lots of Blushing Bride flowers which I then layered onto a heart I cut from Window Sheet.
I found this old frame under my desk (there's LOT's of treasure under there hahaha!) and thought it would be perfect to hang the heart on - kind've rustic?
The bows were all made using the Easy Bows technique.

Some flowers cut from Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper, and a few Pear Pizzaz leaves, breaks up what had become a bit monotone, and gives the piece a little bling - along with pearls and a touch of Wink Of Stella on the centre of the flowers.

I then stamped an image from the Balloon Builders Stamp Set and layered it on some more glimmer paper before popping it onto the bottom of the frame.

Thanks for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss. Remember that currently you are at #22 Kirsteen Gill, so check the blog hop line up list to see who is next.

Quick & easy St. Valentines card

I am not a hearts girl - so I find designing St. Valentine's cards for card buffet class quite difficult. I do like clean simple lines though and when I saw this card layout HERE, I knew it would be great using some of the Love Blossoms designer paper as well as a wee bit of bling from the new Blushing Bride Glimmer paper. The splodges from Gorgeous Grunge stamp set give the card a wee bit more dimension too.
