Hi everyone! Last Thursday it was Valentinesday and today I want to share the card that I made for my husband for this occasion.

At first I wanted to make a totally different card. Some time ago I bought an embossingfolder at Action (a Belgian store) with a big heart on it that looked a bit like origami style. But unfortunately the embossingfolder doesn’t print the heart hard enough in the paper. It was hard to see it and I decided to make a different card.

The idea for this card came from the Lawn Fawnatics challenge 45 – Lots of love. I don’t own many Lawn Fawn stampsets (yet) so I had to be creative with what I had in my stash.

This is how I made the card. First I die cut a piece of Neenah 80 lbs white cardstock with the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangles. I prepared the cardstock for heat embossing with some kitchen flour and a brush. Then I took the little hearts stamp from the You are sublime stampset and stamped them all over the cardstock with Versamark ink. I sprinkled KnorrPrandell metallic red embossingpowder over the ink and heat embossed it.

I took an already stamped and cut out mug out of my stach and colored it with copic markers. I stamped the coffee in the mug with Colorbox chesnut pigment ink.

After that I took a piece of red cardstock and die cut a stiched circle out of it.
For the sentiment I took a scrap piece of vellum that I cut in the right size. I prepared it for heatembossing with kitchen flour and a brush and stamped the sentiment on it with Versamark ink. I used Wow primary ebony super fine embossingpowder and heat embossed it.

I made a cardbase with Neenah 80 lbs cardstock and cut a piece of red cardstock a little bit smaller and adhered it on the cardbase.
Then I adhered the panel with the embossed hearts on it, as well as the red circle and the coffee mug.

To be able to adhere the vellum strip in a way you can’t see the glue, I used a little paper heart out of my stash. I colored it pink with a flex marker. I put a little dot of glue under the vellum, adhered it to the card and then did the same with the little heart, that now hides the glue under the vellum.

It was a fun card to maken and I’m very happy with how it turned out. I enjoyed it that I don’t have a specific Valentines stampset but still managed to make a lovely card for this occasion with the stamps that I have.

I hope you like the card and see you soon!
