Come see how to make this quick and easy Valentine card – lots of details in not a lot of time!
These days, quick and easy is becoming my middle name! (There’s a LOT that goes into a big business change!) To that end, today I am sharing an idea for a quick and easy Valentine card that you can make in minutes and depending on the sentiment you choose, can be for a loved one, a friend or even change it entirely and send as a thank you or other occasion. Hearts are for everyone!
To make this card you need only red and white card stock, the new Heart Bubbles die and Freehand Frame stamp set along with a crimped and your usual card making tools.
First, form your card base from red card stock. Using a scrap of red card stock, cut the Heart Bubbles, reserving two of the hearts for your sentiment strip. (I used the insides of the two hearts that show just below the sentiment strip in the photo.)
Cut a piece of white card stock as wide as you’d like your panel; make sure it is about 1/2″ longer than the height of the card or the direction in which you will crimp. Run this through your crimper and trim to fit the card front.
Cut a scrap of white card stock to fit the width of your card and stamp your sentiment in the center. With liquid glue, adhere the two reserve hearts on either side of the sentiment.
Using dabs of liquid glue, adhere your Heart Bubbles to your crimped panel. Adhere the crimped panel to your card front. With some thin foam adhesive tape, add the sentiment strip across the card.
Here are the two new goodies I used today:
