Layering stencils and colored ink pads allow you to create lovely roses in any colors you’d like for sweet Valentine’s Day cards. Add some subtle inking and stamping for the background and a bold sentiment to finish off. Hannelie shares these card ideas on the Altenew blog.
Did you know that flowers have their own “language”? Back in the Victorian era giving certain flowers meant certain things, they had symbolism for each one. Red roses meant love and have become an enduring icon for Valentine’s Day. As has gifting flowers of any sort during this time so why not include them on your handmade Valentine’s Day cards too? Today we’ll look at some beautiful new Valentine’s Day Floral card ideas created with stamps, dies, stencils and other paper crafting products.
You don’t always have to use paper with your dies, Jennifer used felt and dies for this amazing card that is full of color and texture. The fringed heart with flower on her card has a hanger and can be removed and used as an ornament by the recipient. Learn more at the Jennifer McGuire Ink blog.
The envelope on this pretty card from Jennifer K. is bursting with lots of die cut flowers and a stenciled lover letter. She cut the sentiment from sparkly cardstock and added gems in the center of the flowers for some great shimmer. Take a closer look at the Hero Arts blog.
This stunning card was made with a specialty paper that is thick, clear and heat resistant so you can actually foil on it! Here it’s foiled with white foil with a stamped and die cut heart added in the center, what a beautiful design! Find all the details at the Spellbinders blog.
Brenda used a large floral background die for this amazing floral card. She cut the leaves from green, adding shading with ink blending as well as ink blending the flowers in rich Distress Ink colors. She embellished with crinkled ribbon, gems and a stamped and die cut sentiment. Learn more at the Honey Bee Stamps blog.
I love the pink and teal color combo Penny used on her Valentine’s Day card! She used teal ink and a heart stamp for her background, adding die cut images over top. There’s an envelope, large heart, lots of button flowers and the word LOVE. Notice how she added faux stitching on some of the dies with white gel pen. She breaks it all down at the Papertrey Ink blog.
Cheryl created a wonderful background with a trellis press plate inked in black and then die cut. Over top she added lovely flowers that have been stamped and colored in with ink pads and coordinating stencils. I love how much depth and dimension her card has!

Flowers don’t have to be the main focus but add just a sweet little touch like on this double heart card from Mindy. She used dies and cut the hearts and flowers from colored cardstock, adding some gold spray to the heart centers. There’s also a stenciled and splattered background and stamped sentiment too. Watch her video tutorial on the Mindy Eggen Design blog.
Irene used bold purples and pinks to color in the stamped florals on her stunning card design. Adding the flowers to the letters, she then die cut them out to spell “hi love”. There also a little shimmer added in some areas too. I spotted her card on The Rabbit Hole Designs Instagram page.
This darling design has white on white die cut butterflies and a frame along with a stamped and die cut sentiment that’s been colored in shades of deep pink. There’s also delicate flowers water colored with some trendy postage stamps added as well. Take a closer look at the Penny Black blog.
Wow, check out this jaw dropping card from Caly! She used dies to cut out the flowers, leaves and birds coloring them with a mixture of ink blending and Copic Markers. The sentiment is cut from gold cardstock backed with vellum paper and there’s a bit of gold splatter to add more shimmer. Find all the details at the Caly Person blog.
This pretty pink envelope is busting out with pretty little daisies! These have been heat embossed in gold and colored in with coordinating stencils. There also a big bow and tag with sentiment on the front too. I came across this beauty on The Stamp Market Instagram page.
