I have this easy Valentine’s card to share with you today featuring the Country Floral Lane suite of products. Here I’ve used the matching stamp set, punch and designer series paper (DSP). I love that the punch matches the hearts in the DSP.

We made this card in January Card club. I run a monthly online card club in my Facebook Group. You can find all the details here. I would love for you to join us in the crafty fun.

I love how bright and fun this card is. We made this in a recent card club. The paper is Dandy Designs. It’s a freebie during Sale-a-bration (SAB). During SAB for every qualifying purchase, you can choose a freebie from the SAB catalogue. This was one of my freebies and I love it. There are 48 sheets of 12″ X 12″ paper in the pack. So many pretty designs and colours.

This cute little box holds 4 reels of love hearts. It has a pull tie at one end to make opening easy and reinforced ends. It’s straightforward to make and would be a lovely little gift. You could use these as table favours or even in kid’s goody bags.

I don’t know about you but I remember as a child using matchboxes to make furniture for my doll’s house. A big matchbox cut in two piled one on top of the other made a great chest of drawers.

I love geraniums, my mother always has them in her garden. My favourite are the bright colours of red and pink. When I saw the Potted Geraniums set in the catalogue I wanted it and then of course never used it. I’ve changed this now.

I love the combination of red and blue together. Do you like them as a combo? This stamp set is a two step stamping set. You can stamp just the outline and colour the set it or use the second stamp.

This card is bright, colourful, fun had happy. I love it. I’ve used the matt black dots for the spots on the ladybird and it really makes such a difference. It gives the card added texture and interest.

I made this card in two different colour versions. The one above is Sweet Sorbet and Pacific Point. The one below is Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo. Which do you like best?

This is a very technique to accomplish and provides a lovely graduation of colour on your image. I’ve used here one of my favourite sentiment stamp sets, Biggest Wish. I’ve used this set over and over again.

This card is been made in two colour ways. The teal one is Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana and the pink one is Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. Which do you like better? For both cards, I stamped the lighter ink first and then sponged on the darker one. The stamparatus makes this very easy to do.

  • Melon Mambo Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm

I love making cute little gifts like this. They don’t take long to make and don’t cost a lot but can brighten up a bad day for a special friend. It’s been ages since I made this style of box and I had to sit and work out the measurements for a while to get it right. It holds 4 delicious-smelling tea lights.

I don’t know about you but I have a ton of tea lights. They smell lovely and there is something special about watching the little flame. It reminds me of log fires and warm cosy fireplaces.

I enjoyed making this card. The presents are actually just one stamp. I stamped it a few times and then cut them apart to create this stack of presents. The little kittie sitting atop the pile is just adorable. You just know the whole pile is going to fall over when he jumps off.

I’ve coloured these images using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers which as you know I love. The cards are done in two colour ways. Which do you prefer?

I love pink and blue as a colour combination. It’s one I find myself returning to again and again. This is the gorgeous Framed Florets bundle. The dies cut out not just the stamped images but also these lovely frames. These tiny hearts cut like butter. So easy and so pretty.

The floral images are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The clean and light feel of this card really appeals to me.
