Sending Lots of Love - Dressed Down Version

I usually take what I call a "Plain Jane" card and step-it up by adding additional layers or embellishments.  Today, I'm doing the complete opposite - I'm giving you a "dressed-down" version.  How funny is that!

I'm taking the card that was featured in my February 1st post and simplifying it.  Click here to re-visit this post with video.

So here's the dressed-down version, which is still a very pretty card.  This is still the same concept, but what makes this the "Plain Jane" is the Designer Series Paper.  I opted for regular Designer Series Paper,  In fact, this is actually Take a Bow (Christmas) Designer Series Paper.  Both cards were made using the Hearts of Elegance Bundle, an Online Exclusive.

I like them both!  Please leave me a comment and let me know which is your favorite.

Hearts of Elegance

I made this Valentine card using the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper, but it could also be a Wedding, Anniversary or even thinking of you card just by switching out the Designer Series Paper and inside greeting.

I started with a Basic White card base and embossed a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock with the new Soft Waves embossing folder.  Before adding this to the card base, I added a piece of Gold Open Weave Ribbon and bow.  Next, I layered different size hearts from the Hearts of Elegance dies.  A scattering of Heart Sequins finished my project.  

Here's a listing of the products I used on this project

Easy Card Layout Video

This card was so easy to make using the With You in Mind stamp set from the Annual Catalog.  I love the big bold greetings and the small accent stamps in this set.  This card features the Country Lace Designer Series Paper for a soft and feminine birthday greeting.  However, it's easy to change the gender and tone of the card just by changing up the designer series paper and color.

I love how the one design in the Country Lace Designer Series Paper matches the flower in the With You in Mind stamp set.  I used the two circle dies from the Unbounded Love die set for the circles.  I used Petal Pink and Basic Gray for my color combination.

I also stamped the little flower on the inside panel.

Measurements-

5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Petal Pink CS

4 x 5-1/4 Basic White CS x2

Be Mine with Hearts of Elegance

Here's an easy multi-layer Valentine card featuring the Hearts of Elegance Bundle, an Online Exclusive.

IMG_3542

Yes, I said easy!  So many times, people look at a card that has several layers and think it's way too complicated to make, which is not always the case.  This card looks complicated because it has several layers and die-cuts.  In my video below, I show you how simple it is to make this card.  The trick is breaking down and assembling all the die-cuts.

Here's a glance at the inside of the card.  I really liked stamping the solid image heart over the greeting.  I'm going to have to remember this for future cards.
