Hearts of Elegance Valentine

I use strips/scraps of Designer Series Paper as a focal point to create a Valentine card. Find the die cuts and sentiment in Stampin’ Up!’s Hearts of Elegance Bundle, some of the Online Exclusive offerings. This bundle offers a variety of heart-shaped dies and sentiments for creating a variety of Valentine and love-themed cards.

  • Basic White card stock panel measuring 5 x 3 3/4. Die cut heart first. Then emboss the panel with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder.
  • Basic White card stock panel measuring 4 3/4 x 3 1/2. Layer 1/2-inch strips of the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper and Gold Foil Sheets on this panel. Tip: I use the lines on the Grid Paper to ensure the lines are straight.

Hearts of Elegance Wine Bottle Tag

A bottle of wine (or a nice bottle of nonalcoholic sparkling water) makes a great gift throughout the year. But especially during the holiday season for host gifts at the holidays, for new year’s celebrations, and for special people on Valentine’s Day! Have fun dressing up that bottle with a handmade tag.

In today’s post, I share a wine bottle tag created for Valentine’s Day and one for Christmas. See this blog post for a tag designed for new year celebrations. The Valentine tag uses products from the Hearts of Elegance Suite Collection, including the Hearts of Elegance stamp set, Hearts of Elegance Dies, Marbled Elegance 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Paper, Gold Twisted Thread, and Adhesive-Backed Heart Sequins. Save 10 percent when you purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle. Find these online as part of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives offerings.
