Valentine Card using a sketch from Stamping&Blogging

February 11, 2015 By Michelle Last

I made a valentine card using an unexpected stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  I bet you cannot guess which stamp set I got the sentiment from?

valentine card by Michelle Last using Stampin' Up!

I used the happy heart embossing folder to emboss part of the card front as per the sketch below and then simply stamped the sentiment from the Build a Bouquet stamp set.  I did double stamp the sentiment in Smoky Slate and then using the stamp-a-majig I stamped it again in black to create a shadow effect. I punched out some hearts using the confetti heart border punch and added some rhinestones.

Can you see my little mail box? I bought it from Target for $1 whilst I was in the States, how cute is that? I knew I would only use it once or twice but at $1 I could not resist.

I bought quite a lot of other stuff too! I even visited the Container store which is my idea of heaven but left there empty handed as there was just no more room in my case! This was the stuff from my case which was not clothes and toiletries……
luggage from the US

Here is the sketch which inspired me –

    Hi Michelle, I just love your card how did you emboss it partially with the happy hearts embossing folder? It looks beautiful, hugs Lindsey

      I cut the pieces first Lindsey and then embossed them which is why there is a pink strip of paper to hide the cut lines x

    Simply beautiful Michelle! The double stamped sentiment is beautiful and the colors that you used are perfect! Love the two panels of embossed hearts too. You brought home quite a load! Hope that you had a great time at Leadership. 🙂

    I absolutely love this card! I want to buy this stamp set so bad, but I think I’d only use the sentiment (can’t see myself using the other stamps) and I can’t justify spending that much money to stamp a card or two for my hubby. It’s so tempting though…

    You just made what was in my head at first with the embossing, but I was having a lack of time, so I made it easy on myself and used DSP for a change.
    Love the clean and crisp, but yet subtile look of your card.
    It’s just lovely as you are.

    Now I know who bought those mailboxes just before my nose….there were only a couple left but not in good shape, so I left them there. They are just sooooo cute!!
