Happy Valentine's Day – this handmade card features a great new stamp set that you can use all year long.  It's also part of a bundle where you get the cute label punch too.  I hope you're planning a fun day to celebrate with friends, family or just spoil yourself with time in your craft space.  Let's look at this card.

The Card

Today's Happy Valentine's Day handmade card uses some basic card making skill you should always keep to make a quick card.  The background is created by repeatedly stamping a single image.  This technique allows you to make your own “paper background” without the struggle of sorting through all your papers.

Your Turn

When I was making this card I knew I wanted to post it on Valentines' Day.  That's why I used a simple pattern that you can copy it over and over – here's the formula:

  • Fold the cardbase
  • Stamp a background layer
  • Add a greeting layer with a mat that matches the stamped image color
  • Add a layer inside with background layer images in the lower corner
  • Put it all together!
