Posts Tagged ‘Valentine Card Ideas’
You mean EVERYTHING to me.
A couple of months ago at our Team Christmas Party we did a Valentine SWAP to have some ideas on hand for the upcoming holiday. Well, I set this gem aside to share with you all closer to the date – and here it is!
Team Member Jen Rios Raner made this card – and I just adore it! The card is even more fitting for her, because her husband's name is Eric — so the "E" on the top can stand for Eric in her case — or the word "Everything" in red for the rest of us! Very clever 
ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS: 
- Sick of just tying your ribbon in a knot around a cardstock layer? Try this fun little trick that Jen did here with using one ribbon piece around another for a knotless use of ribbon – love it!
- The texture plates are a wonderful way to add some extra "umph" to a card – check out the diamonds in the background of the red cardstock here.
- Bring out your Stampin' Write Markers when you want to draw extra attention to a word! Just ink up the word you want to draw attention to in another color, as done here with the word "everything."

14 Days of Love (Bandit!)
While I was away at Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Conference, I had the opportunity to attend Manager's Reception – a fun, FUN night out for Manager's & Above with the company! This year we went to a ranch and had an awesome Fiesta! It's tradition that we receive a free stamp set each Manager's Reception, and this year was no exception! We received the darling stamp set "Love Bandit" — and I just had to put it to use as soon as I came home, so came up with this 14 Days of Love Class on the Go!
Here's a look at the Love Bandit Stamp Set in full:
And here's a sneak peak at 3 of the 14 cards in this class!

Use the Holiday Mini for Valentine’s: Part 2
Time to share with you the other Valentine Idea I had using Holiday Mini products! I've been asked to lead a group of women at our church in making 2 projects to send in College Student's Valentine's Boxes, so that's what these ideas have been created for.
ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS: 
- Stampin' Write Markers work perfectly when you have an image such as this one that calls for multiple colors on one stamp. Just ink up the rubber with the brushed end of the marker and you're good to go!
- I used to always mat my main image cardstock pieces by cutting an extra 1/4" to my cardstock, creating a 1/8" mat on each side. Lately, I've been cutting an extra 1/8", creating a 1/16" mat on each side for a more subtle look, as shown here.
- I just adore being able to cut chipboard from the Big Shot! Here, I used the Hearts & Brackets die.
- The Designer Paper that you see on the left hand side of the card is a fabulous flocked paper – a first for Stampin' Up! I just love having an additional element of interest, and one that I don't have to work to create!
WHAT TO ORDER:
Wandering Words Stamp Set (116507), Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper (116770), Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Basic Black Cardstock (102851), Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker (100082), Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker (100079), Real Red Stampin' Write Marker (100052), Kraft 12×12 Cardstock (107070), Vintage Brads (109109), Black Gingham Ribbon (104832), Long Board (114320), Corner Rounder (109047), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), Big Shot Die Cut Machine (113439) and Hearts & Brackets Originals Die (115955)
