I was making some 3 X 3 cards for a friend who loves handing them out.  The thought struck me to make some Valentine ones for myself as well.  These are really quick and simple.  The better to make multiples of.

 

 

These colors are a bit out of the norm for Valentine, and I love that!  I wanted to use the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper from Sale-A-Bration (sadly I believe it is all gone now).  This is a great project for the 6 X 6 paper stacks or the regular 12 X 12 DSP.  The DSP layer is 2 7/8 X 2 7/8, so you can get 4 from one 6 X 6 piece.

I chose the paper first to decide which colors I needed to stamp.  Since I went with the Rococo Rose DSP, I stamped the hearts with Rococo Rose Ink.  The stamp is from the Valentine Keepsakes stamp set in the Mini Catalog.  It is designed to be able to create a continuous background!!

For the coordinating color, I chose Bermuda Bay.  It is not one I would normally have paired with Rococo Rose.  I chose it because it was a color included in the paper stack.  So I knew the colors would work together.

The hearts are both from the Heart Punch Pack.  I love punches for the ease of doing multiples!  The sentiments are from the Valentine Keepsakes stamp set also.  The precious little tag is from the Hydrangea Dies.  I knew I had seen a small tag recently so began going through all of the dies until I found it.  I stamped the sentiments in Bermuda Bay Ink and then used the Mini Cut & Emboss machine.  These being so small , it was quick cutting them out.  I did angle the Be Mine just a tad to better fit the tag.

The finishing touch is a little bow tied using the Snail Mail Twine Combo.  Although I only used the pink one.  It is attached to the top of the tag with a glue dot.  I cut an 11″ piece of twine and then tied a finger bow.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you like the smaller and quick little cards.  Please share your ideas with me.
