The Love Notes 6 X 6 Mix and Match Designer Series Paper is one that I had totally overlooked. My upline, Brian King, shared some cards he had made by cutting this paper apart. Oh My!! I was sold. And then it was out of stock of course. But I hopped on it when it was available again. And it is still available.
I will be sharing the cards I created with this paper in the next couple of posts. Today’s is the first one. They are all very simple to do but fabulous for quick Valentine Cards. Here is the first one.
Quick and Easy
That is the title for all of these cards. The DSP pieces are so cute that they can stand alone almost. This one I did layer on a piece of Basic White. Even the strip of hearts is from this paper. It was a cut off piece that just fit perfectly as a strip of love. The best part is there is no stamping involved until you get to the inside for my sentiment.
Extras
The card is so simple, and I apologize for continuing to say that, it only required a bit of DSP and an embellishment. The card base is Real Red and has the layer of Basic White. For the bling I used a trio of White Moody Palette Glossy Dots. These are in a few different colors and small. And that is the card!

I am still loving the Stone & Vines Embossing Folder. It pairs with so many stamp sets. Today’s card is a “lovely” one mixing the vines along with Sweet Blooms. I am loving the mix of colors for this one as well.
The Sweet Blooms Bundle
This great bundle is from the Annual Catalog. Since I was packed up for the move several months I have missed playing with quite a lot from the catalog. So I am going back through and finding wonderful products. This is one of them. The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut, then paired with the “lovely” die cut from the matching Die set. These are more spread out than I would normally arrange them. But I did not want to cover up the floral part any more than necessary. It took some playing around.
Florals In Bloom Designer Series Paper
The sentiments are stamped or die cut, and that is all of the stamping other than the inside of this card. The pretty floral arrangement is die cut or fussy cut from the DSP. I wish I could color the flower as beautiful as the pink one is. So I opted to let the professionals do it for me. LOL!!
Stone & Vines Embossing Folder
Once again I have turned to this wonderful new 3D embossing folder. And it is really 3D! Actually this one was embossed at the same time as the previous card using this folder. Having used the two tone Garden Green cardstock, I did one from each side to show the different colors. Although the center of that cardstock is white as you can see from the definition of the leaves. This is the darker of the two sides. You can see the previous card HERE.
Extras
The card base is Petunia Pop to match the flower. I am thrilled with how well it pairs with the Garden Green. To further that pairing, I used the Garden Green Chevron Ribbon to wrap around the layer a couple of times. This was a perfect grounding for the flowers. The final Extra is the bling. This is once again the Sparkle Dot Essentials. I love these with their extra sparkle, the different colors, and sizes, plus they are flat. Many wins all in one with these embellishments.

My card I have to share today is made from the same template as yesterday. I wanted to show you how different the same base can appear. Having a simple Go To template can be a lifesaver when we need a quick card. Quick does not mean it is not a wonderful card.
Encircled With Love stamp set
The sweet sentiment I chose for this card is one that I love. It is simple, sweet, and says you care about the recipient. To go along with my Valentine idea card, I stamped using Real Red Ink. The hearts in the paper are Real Red, Strawberry Slush and Bubble Bath. This stamp set, Encircled With Love, is in the Annual Catalog in the DVD style case. Now Stampin’ Up! has issued it in the new style cases as well. If you choose the new style, be aware that it is a different product number. The new style case number is 169090.
Made With Love Designer Series Paper
These strips are the same as yesterday’s card and measure 1 X 5. This time I placed the card in landscape layout and used two different patterns from this fun DSP. To center the strips I used my grid paper to place the center one and then came in from each side. I thought I would make a simpler one and leave off the layer behind the strips.
Extras
To create the focal layer I used the 1 3/4′ and 2″ Circle Punches. The 2″ is Strawberry Slush with the stamped image cut with the 1 3/4″. I love circles for a clean and simple card. To add a bit more texture I also used the Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon as I did yesterday. Instead of a small neat bow I went with a large and looser bow behind the sentiment layer. And for my bling Rhinestones were called in. The sentiment has three little star shapes. So a trio of rhinestones, one on each star, seemed the perfect fit.

I have a quick and simple card to share with you but also an amazing discovery as well. Actually I did not make the discovery and I am not really sure who did. However, it is worth sharing by everyone. And the best part is that it is a simple 3D Embossing Folder and cardstock. The trick is to use the Two-Toned cardstock. This cardstock arrived this past year and has not gotten a lot of play time from me. Well, that is about to change!
Stone & Vine 3D Embossing Folder
First off this folder is amazing! I love the vines and then the softer look of stone in the background. However the white showing through in the paper is the star of the show. The new Two-Tone Cardstock is a lighter shade of the same color on one side with the darker on the other. The main difference to regular cardstock is that it has a white center. So by embossing with the 3D folder, the white shows through. It is as if you sanded off some of the color. What an amazing look and simply by dry embossing the cardstock!
Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper
The pretty floral print center of this card is cut from the DSP. There are two sheets in the Lovely Blossoms DSP that can be cut apart and used as card fronts or layers. I chose to fussy cut the white away and leave only the flowers on the Cloud Clover background.
Beautifully Celebrated Dies
To create the rest of the focal layer background, I wanted a pretty layer. I found the layering dies included in the Beautifully Celebrated Die set to fit perfectly. There are several of this style that layer. This one is the 3rd from largest. My fussy cut flower piece fit perfectly. I opted for a simple white layer, even though I had just cut away the white the flowers were printed on. Oh well!
Sweet Blooms stamp set
This wonderful sentiment is from the Sweet Blooms set. I love the phrases Stampin’ Up! has produced lately that are similar to this. My idea of a good card is one that makes someone smile. And the font of this one is just fabulous in my book. I have been on a fussy cutting binge lately and this was another fussy cutting victim. Since the flowers are sort of small, I did not want the sentiment to cover them overly much.
Extras
There is only Bling as an extra today. This trio are from the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots. These are very shimmery! So just what the card ordered. I chose the Secret Sea dots to highlight the flower centers as well as the sentiment. OOPS!! As I was adding the supply list for this card, I saw these dots are no longer available. I am so sorry!

I have a fun card to share with you today. My stamp club ladies sort of roll their eyes when I bring out a project with a whimsical animal. I am definitely a sucker for the Stampin’ Up! animal images. The one today is super cute, and very fluffyf!
Wooly Friends Punch Bundle
The Wooly Friends “ewe” is just adorable. The fact it is a punch bundle seals the deal for me. I always love the punches. She is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and punched out. I added some makeup to her face with Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends on her cheeks and a touch for her ears.
The sentiment is simply a sweet one and works for so many occasions. To fit everything on the die cut, I did die cut first and then stamp the sentiment and the flowers. The flowers are stamped using Memento also, then filled with Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green. I love the addition of the grass.
Made With Love Designer Series Paper
This sweet DSP has hearts on one side and then compatible designs on the other side. I opted to use the other side as my band. The cardstock is Poppy Parade for the card base and again for the large Die layer. It actually shows better against the DSP in person.
Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder
The detail on this embossing folder is fabulous. All of the little hearts swirling around are so nice. And this one is also something that could be used for a lot of similar cards. I did not intend this one to be a Valentine card, more of a Thinking of You.
Extras
The two Die cut layers are from the Nested Essentials Dies. These are so versatile with the different shapes. I would feel lost without them. And to finish the card I added some low profile bling. Actually these are the Low Profile Dots that are (or maybe were) on the Last Chance List. I hope you have some because they go with almost anything. They are the little black dress of card making!

Fun Folds are my favorite type of card. This one is a simple one to create and adds wonderful interest at the same time. I call it a Diamond Card. You will be surprised at the simplicity and want to make your own.
As you can see, the diamond is part of the front of the card. An easy peasy but bold look.
Creative Haven Stamp Bundle
The front tag and sentiment, as well as the inside, are from the Creative Haven Bundle. I love the fun and bold sentiments in this set. And even better there are Dies that match the larger sentiments. That is a double win. I used a smaller sentiment for the inside as it is a smaller writing area than a full white layer on the inside. Here is the open view.
Here you see the additional DSP and the writing space with this sweet sentiment. Since these little stars are included I simply had to add them!
Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper
The fact this gorgeous DSP is still around makes me happy. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. They remind me of my childhood home. We had a couple of giant bushes. Since my preferred color is blue, even in hydrangeas, this paper is one I really love. With the Hydrangea piece as the front layer, I added a smaller pattern from the same pack to the inside. It is a small enough pattern that it doesn’t take away from the sentiment or your note. And the Secret Sea cardstock has really become one of my Go To colors!
Extras
There are a few additional “texture” points for this Diamond card. First is the tag with the sentiment. It is raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals for more depth. I always am happy to add a tag to a card. Since it is a tag, there is a hole for ribbon. I simply tied the bow from Cloud Cover ribbon and adhered it over the hole instead of trying to tie the bow through the hole. And finally a trio of Sparkle Dot Essentials are the bling. These are new and fabulous. Different sizes and colors of glittering flat dots. What could be better!!
Measurements
The card base is Secret Sea cardstock cut 4 1/4 X 9 and scored at 5 1/2 on the long side. For the diamond you need a Secret Sea piece cut to 3 X 3 (actually just a smidgen short of 3 X 3). This is adhered on the angle and at the end of the shorter front panel. Be sure to place your adhesive back from the center line so it doesn’t bleed over.
For the front I used a Basic White layer of 3 1/4 X 4 to have behind the hydrangea DSP. And 2 3/4 X 2 3/4 on the diamond. The hydrangea DSP is 3 1/8 X 3 7/8. On the inside of the card I have a Basic White that is 5 1/4 X 4 with the small print DSP at 2 1/4 X 3 7/8. Of course the Cloud Cover for the tag is more a scrap but you need at least 2 1/2 X 3 1/2.
