Can you believe it’s time to think about creating your handmade cards for Valentine’s Day? It’s less than a month away! In today’s post, I share a sample of Valentine cards made with Stampin’ Up!’s Country Floral Lane Suite of products. Find this suite beginning on page 8 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2023 Mini Catalog.
The suite includes:
Country Bouquet Stamp Set
The Country Bouquet Punch (purchase these first two as a bundle and save 10 percent)
Country Gingham 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper
Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins
Country Floral Lane 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper
Real Red & Burlap Ribbon
Country Floral Lane Samples
In the handmade greeting card at the top, I also use the heart frame from the Framed Florets Dies. It works perfectly here for Valentine cards. I also love that the Country Bouquet Punch coordinates with the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper. You can punch the images directly from the paper in addition to punching the stamped images.
The next card uses the two-step feature of the Country Bouquet Stamp Set. I stamped with both Sweet Sorbet and Mint Macaron (using the Stamparatus) and then punched the image with the Heart Punch Pack. Look at those Heart Pearls! I colored them with the Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends and added them to the card. Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post to see how these cards are made.
This final card uses strips of Designer Series Paper (each measuring 1 x 3) from both the Country Gingham 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and the Country Floral Lane 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
