This lovey-dovey card was created by Heather H. using dies for a frosty Valentine design. Two doves are sitting on layered hearts with snowflakes falling around with the perfect sweet stamped sentiment. There’s lots of gems for some sparkle too. Visit Simon Says Stamp for all the details.
I love a tan or kraft colored background, it’s a simple way to add interest instead of using white cardstock, it also adds a bit of a masculine touch. Svitlana die cut a frame from the same tan paper to go around her die cut wreath with hearts cut from red and green. There’s also heat embossed sentiment strips and red gems for shine. Visit the Altenew blog for more info.
Caly added lots of texture to her sweet card with stitching. It might seem daunting but if you use dies that punch the sewing holes for you it’s pretty simple to do. She also included some inking and stamping on the hearts and included a gold die cut sentiment over top. Visit the Caly Person blog for a closer look.
Layering stencils give a very realistic and romantic look to this stunning floral card from Therese. She die cut the center section and popped it up with foam tape for added interest. The white on black heat embossed sentiment really pops too! Learn more at the Lost in Paper blog.
Lea used products from Papertrey Ink for her beautiful card. There’s lots of layers including a large label shape cut from pattern paper, a lacey heart cut from glitter paper and a white heart to help the die cut bouquet stand out, there’s also has some glittery cardstock too. I love the addition of the gold paper for part of the title! Visit the Lea Lawson Creates blog for a video tutorial.
Michelle’s bold red floral bunch was stamped and colored with Copic markers and fussy cut out. She placed it over a distressed text stamped background. Notice how everything is in the lower corner leaving lots of white space, it’s a simple but very effective way to add interest to a design. Visit The Card Grotto blog for all the details.
The romantic sentiment on this beautiful card from Jill says it all. She stamped and water colored her images adding a couple of die cut butterflies with gems. She also masked off a section to add some subtle shading for a frame in the background too. Take a closer peek at the Penny Black Inc. blog.
This stunner of a card uses a red and pink color combo with lots of vintage styled elements like scalloped edges, crinkled ribbon, floral pattern paper and a banner. There’s so much extra details too like paint splatter, layered die cut flowers, gems and a meaningful stamped quote. I spotted this card on the Lily Bean Mom Instagram page.
This darling owl couple card has a dry embossed background with die cut arch frame surrounding the owls that are sitting on a flowery branch. The scattering of all the flowers is so pretty, each with a gem in the center. And I love how the owls chests are hearts, so sweet! Learn more at the Spellbinders blog.
What’s better than romance and chocolate? Not much! These yummy cards from Heather N. features boxes of die cut chocolates that look good enough to eat. She’s splattered the die cut shapes and then added the toppings by die cutting them from glitter cardstocks. Watch her video tutorial at the Taylored Expressions blog.
This amazing card is full of classic Valentine’s Day elements created with many layers of printed embellishments and die cut elements with embossed areas. I love the gold and red foiled papers, they add the perfect touch of shine! Take a closer look over at the Anna Griffin blog.
Let’s end on a very heartfelt card that’s perfect for the couple who’ve been together for a long time. Julissa’s touching design features a sweet stamped couple at the beach with a paper clipped marbled die cut heart and wonderful stamped sentiment on a Polaroid style frame. Take a closer peek at the Unity Stamp blog.
I hope you’ve been inspired to make a wonderful romantic card for the love of your life.
