Valentine’s Day Card Inspirations

by Christine on February 10th, 2008

I hope you like the cards I am featuring below. I have scoured the web for the best ones that I liked!

Title: XOXO
design by Tracy Kyle

Use a circle cutter or template to cut circles from patterned paper and adhere to the folded cardstock base. Cut coordinating border strips from cardstock; add ribbons and a printed tag.

SOURCES
Cardstock: National Cardstock. Patterned paper: Daisy D’s Paper Co. (floral), Anna Griffin (paisley), and The Paper Company (collage). Circle Coluzzle template: Provo Craft. Tag: Making Memories.

This spin game is cute!

Title: Mommy’s Valentine Spin Game
design by Candi Gershon

Cut patterned paper and cardstock mat to fit the folded card front. Use a circle cutter or template to cut a circle from cardstock; stamp it. Attach a purchased spinner with a bard, mount it on a piece of cardstock, and adhere to the card front. Add a label below.

SOURCES
Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper. Patterned paper: Fiddlerz3. Computer font: Cleanliness by Autumn Leaves. Rubber stamps: PSX. Stamp ink: Clearsnap. Spinner: Jest Charming. Flat-top eyelet: Making Memories. Brads: Lasting Impressions.

Title: It’s Clear to See How Much I Love You
design by Nia Reddy

Don’t hide your feelings—make a clear statement with a see-through pocket for embellishments. Cut a plastic slide holder into pieces, and attach a strip of pockets to the front of a card. Fill the pockets with punched hearts and stickers, and add a clever title that plays off the transparent look.

SOURCES
Patterned paper: Chatterbox. Font: Lane Narrow off the Internet. Stickers: Die Cuts with a View. Brads: SEI. Punch: Marvy Uchida.
