Mini Handmade Valentine's Card

This Mini Envelope Handmade Valentine's Card Using Stampin' Up! features six layers!  If you've been following me for any length of time you know that's not my usual style.  The Sweet Conversations papers offer so many color options and I decided to highlight almost all of them in a separate layer.  I'm also enjoying experimenting with diagonal layers – they certainly offer a lot less pressure to “get it straight” and make for quicker card assembly.

Ok, enough about my creative journey, I know you really want to understand how I put this card together.  If you are looking for the supplies I used you can scroll down to the product tiles.  Clicking on any of them will take you to my Stampin' Up! store.  For a shortcut, you can just click the Add All to Cart.  Then just modify your cart to eliminate the supplies you don't need.  Personally, I think this is an easier way to shop than popping back and forth to grab the individual products you want to recreate this card.
