This Sweet Talk Candy Heart Valentine Card is another idea for you as Valentine’s Day creeps up on us! It’s almost February!! This designer paper is so cute you will want to make lots of Valentines to give and send to those you love! Think of how a card with this cute paper, handmade by you, will brighten someone’s day!
The card base is Blushing Bride cardstock, one of the coordinating colors. This paper is the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper on page 9 of the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. Every paper in this collection is one you will like. It’s “happy” paper! I chose the print with the conversation hearts. You could use any of those colors of hearts as the card base. Before adhering the designer paper to the card base, I added a strip of the White 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon vertically on the card, then tied a bow onto the strip of ribbon. The white is sheer but the little pink glitter speckles show up nicely against the card!
Instead of die-cutting, I punched two hearts with the Heart Punch Pack. You get two heart punches, one with a scalloped edge that you can use as a layer to the smaller one, or use the hearts individually. I used these punches on a card in THIS POST just the other day. The scalloped punch is Basic White and the smaller heart is Blushing Bride to match the card base.
To stamp the greeting on this card, I had to use a different technique since the heart wasn’t large enough for the long greeting. I wanted to use the “Happy Valentine’s Day” greeting in the Sweet Conversations Stamp Set but it is long and narrow. I simply stamped it on a strip of Basic White cardstock and then cut the words apart and glued them in place on the heart. To jazz it up a little bit, I added three of the smallest Elegant Faceted Gems.
This, of course, is one of the easiest basic card designs there is! Just change out the designer paper or the color of the card base and add a greeting and you are set! With all the cute and fun designs in the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper, almost any paper you pick will make for an adorable Valentine!
