Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you! Surprisingly, I have made a very simple card to share with you. Sharing our hearts is always a good thing and I hope this card gives you a Smile!
This 3 Heart card is also for the Make My Monday Challenge. I hope you will give this challenge a try and allow us to see your spin on 3 Hearts! Here is a link to the site.
Stamps
I joined two different stamp sets for this 3 Heart challenge, plus a matching die set. The sentiment is from an awesome stamp set named Happy & Heartfelt. And since fonts are a measuring tool that I use for sentiments, I give this one a 10! All of these are fun ones like this and are a great mix of sayings. For the second stamp set, I used the large swirl fro the Sentimental Swirls set. It was perfect for “hanging” my hearts on.
Dies, Texture, and Fun
The hanging hearts are from the Sweet Hearts Dies. They are part of the Sweet Conversations Bundle, which I have used several times. And I did use it on the inside of the card. I chose two of the heart shapes and die cut two of each to see how they fit best on the swirl. They are “hanging” from the little Classic Matte Dots in White.
I hope you can see the background texture also. It is the Tasteful Textures Embossing Folder and gives just enough of a fancy paper feel for the simplicity of the card. To finish the card, I went with the great Open Weave Ribbon in Polished Pink. I think it adds the bit of a fancy touch to finish the card.
Sale-A-Bration is the Best Time of Year!!

A Fun Fold Blog Hop is my favorite. Because I truly love Fun Folds of any kind. Today’s card is a Double Card with an Extra Fold.
Paper and Folds
This Fun Fold is cased from Lisa Cursio. I love mixing the different patterns of paper from the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper. I have used two pieces from that paper pack. I love mixing Red and Purple reminiscent of the Red Hat Club colors.
The fold is actually very easy to do. It just takes a bit more cardstock. The card base is 5 1/2 X 10 1/2, so more than half of a piece of 8 1/2 X 11. Other than the larger size, the folds are a base card with a smaller card added to it’s front. The Plus, is the extra side fold. Here are the other views of the card.
Stamps and Dies
The stamps and dies are from the Sweet Conversations Bundle. It is part of the Suite with the Sweet Talk DSP. The front tag is from the Sweet Heart Dies. This is probably my favorite of the set. It is a perfect size! Both the sentiment and the heart are from the set. And the inside Luv U is from the set too. The only different stamp set is the Special Moments set from the SAB catalog. It is the Wonderful statement on the inside.

I hope you had an enjoyable Valentine Day yesterday. We do not get too excited about these holidays. It was just a nice, relaxing, and WET, day. I am ready to go out and see sunshine!!! I am happy we just have rain and not the snow and storms some are having. I hope all of you are safe and dry!
Today’s card is an extra Valentine card I made but did not share. It could also be for a wedding. I paired a few different products from the Forever & Always Bundle and suite.
I mixed several blingy pieces on this card. I began with the card base of Blushing Bride cardstock. Next is a layer of the Love You Always Foil Sheet, which is blush or champagne color. The foil is topped with True Love Designer Series Paper in the polka dot.
I added a banner with an angle cut made from the Love You Always Foil sheet. It is wrapped with a ribbon bow from the Blushing Bride Metalic Ribbon. The ribbon is beautiful! The back is Blushing Bride and the front is a mixture of blush and gold. I had to fiddle with my bow to keep only the front of the ribbon showing. It is well worth the fiddling time!
For the focal areas, I stamped the flowers from the Forever & Always Bundle and colored with Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blends. The leaves are colored using Just Jade Stampin’ Blends.
I went a bit rogue on the “LOVE”. I had used the Blush Foil, but wanted to bring out the gold in the ribbon. So I used Gold Foil to cut the background of the LOVE. (If I had a do over, I would use the blush for this as well)
Measurements:
Blushing Bride card base is 4 1/4 X 11
Foil layer is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8
DSP layer is 3 3/4 X 5
Angle Foil is 2 1/2 X 3 7/8 with a 1″ angle cut (place a mark at 1″ on the right side and put the mark on the cutting line. place the opposite corner on the cutting line as well, cut from mark to point)
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you like my mix of products and will give these items another look in the catalog. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Last week I had asked on my Facebook page, Blue Line Stamping, to name a few stamp sets that you would like to see used. I used one on Monday. You can see that card HERE. And today I am sharing the second one. It is Kangaroo & Company.
I chose to make the Kangaroo as a Valentine Card. But since it doesn’t say that on the front, it could be used for any expression of love. The little envelope is part of the stamp set and I think it is simply adorable, so I wanted to include it. It’s sort of hanging in the air, so I see it as love is being sent. Yes, I know I have a crazy imagination!!! LOL!
The background for the card is from the True Love Designer Series Paper. I used the new Blending Brushes with Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade Inks to blend the colors onto the paper. I love how the dots still show through so well.
To ground everything, I added one of the Vellum Doilies. These little squares are so versatile and are perfect for this use. I also added the White Baker’s Twine from the Snail Mail Combo Trim Pack.
The kangaroo is adorable alone or with one of the included inserts for the belly slot. I went with the hearts for the “Love” theme. They are colored using Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend Combo. I also utilized the little “stick” for lack of a better word. It is what the inserts can be attached to so they pull out of the belly slit. Here is a closer look at that.
Isn’t that adorable? The smaller sayings in the stamp set will all work on this little piece. It is long enough to easily hold the attached hearts in place. You do need to pay attention when adding your dimensionals so they do not interfere with it.
Thank you for stopping in today! I really do appreciate it. If you have any stamps you would like to see me create a card for, hop over to my Facebook Blue Line Stamping page and leave me a note. There are not very many that I do not have 🙂

Last week I posted a question on my Facebook page, Blue Line Stamping, asking what stamp sets you would like to see. Sadly I did not receive much of a response. If you are a regular follower of mine here, please take a minute to Like my Facebook page as well. I would appreciate it.
One of the sets that was requested was Forever & Always. So I am sharing a card using those products today. You can never go wrong with Black & White (plus a touch of color). And that is what I have used.
Normally I would not use quite as much color with my black and white card, but I felt the flowers and the love needed the two colors. You cannot see it from the full picture but the Basic Black background is embossed using the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder.
Here is a close up.
It really is beautiful in person. The details of the embossing worked wonderfully on the black. The flowers are colored using the Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends with the centers being the Light Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blend. Plus I added one of the Pastel Pearls to each center.
The leaves are colored using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. I also added the background of the “Love” using Old Olive cardstock. The LOVE is Purple Posy cardstock attached to Foam Adhesive Sheet and then die cut. This is the best way for a simple adhering of the thin letters as well as giving it a raised look.
The strip of DSP is from the True Love Designer Series Paper. I wanted to add a grounding strip for the flower layers. The flowers are adhered to a die cut from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I used the largest of the scalloped layers.
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed the card. I have all of the products I used listed at the bottom of the page. Remember that we are almost finished with this first round of Sale-A-Bration. It ends on February 28th.

I have a fun card for you today. I started with a fold from a card I had received in a swap. It had several layers that opened like pages in a book. I started with that, but took a wrong turn somewhere in my scoring, LOL!!! But I am happy with the Tri-Fold Card I designed from the error. I hope you will enjoy it as well.
I LOVE Cats and Dogs, and most other animals. And my husband does as well. Maybe even more than I do. So this became the Valentine card I will give to him. Here is a view of the open card.
The cat is smiling up at the frowny face little dog and I thought that was too cute. When in actuality, it would be just the opposite probably. Since cats are usually the stand offish ones.
Here is a close up of the cat.
I used the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper for the stand out part of the card. I chose three different papers that worked together. The ribbon is from the Playful Pets Trim Combo. I tried to line them up along the bottom.
The hearts are from the Heart Punch Pack. I kept that simple to show off the dog and cat. They are fussy cut from the Playful Pets DSP also.
The sentiment is from Hot Dog Stamp Set in the Mini Catalog. I used a small sticky note to block the rest of the sentiment. All I wanted was the I Love You. I have a small pad of those on my desk for a variety of uses. I just have to remember to remove it before I stamp!!
I will add a small piece of White cardstock on the center panel for what I write for hubby. But for the picture I left that off.
Thank you for stopping in today. I do have all of the measurements for you. All of the supplies are at the bottom of the post. I hope this gives you a Smile in your day!!
Measurements:
card base is 5 1/2 X 11, scored at 4 1/4, and 8. (or 3 and 6 3/4, depending on your preference)
DPS is 2 3/4 X 5 1/8 , 3 3/8 X 5 1/8 (X2) , 3 7/8 X 5 1/8
The second of the middle DSP goes on the backside of middle panel as you can see that panel when the card is closed.
