Here’s another sample of a handmade Valentine card using the Love Notes 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. For this card, I cut one panel of the DSP into strips measuring 5 x 1 1/8, adhered them to a Basic White cardstock base measuring 5 1/4 x 4. Card base is Flirty Flamingo. I cut the DSP panel into a 3 x 3 square and layered it on the Flirty Flamingo cardstock measuring 3 1/4 x 3 1/4. Added sentiment from Endless Love stamp set.
This next card is really quick and simple. Cut a piece of the Designer Series Paper to 5 1/4 x 4 and add to the card base. Add a sentiment and some gems, and you’re good to go.
This next card uses a strip of the patterned paper and small additional panel. I stamped (Endless Love stamp set) the XO in Cherry Cobber.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. I hope you enjoyed these quick and easy Valentine cards. Please let me know if you have questions.

Do you prefer to craft exclusively with one bundle or suite at a time? Or do you prefer to mix and match? For me, it’s gratifying to pull out a brand-new suite of products to see what I can create? On the other hand, it’s also fun to stretch my products by mixing and matching them.
That’s what I do with today’s card. I’ve combined several brand-new products, with one recently released, and several more a few or more months old. See the list below to help you dissect this card.
