Hello friends! I finished making and mailing my grandchildren's Valentine cards and thought I'd share them with three challenges. My grands are all adults now but they still like getting cards from their grandparents.
I'm joining in over at Time Out Challenges (1st card - I used sparkle, pink, heart), Just Us Girls and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
I used the Kirstina Werner Jumble of Hearts stencil to create the background. One of the wonderful things about it is that one of the stencils masks the hearts and colors in the background. I used the Altenew Rose Petals quad to ink blend the hearts and used one color, Purple Wine, for stamping the sentiment, which is from KW's Love & Adore You stamp and die set.
The panel was cut with KW's Essential Dies scallop rectangle and I used the small heart die from the same set. The large white glitter heart was cut using the Simon Says Stamp Nested Rounded Heart die set. After the card was all put together, I thought it needed a little something more, so I created a fun design around the heart with some Prism Dazzling Gems from SSS.
I used the same design for both of my grandson's cards. I found some very old plaid patterned paper (SU Plaid Tidings) in black and white, which worked great with red accents.

Both the plaid paper and the red cardstock were cut with Simon's A2 Postage Rectangle dies and adhered together. Before adding to the card base, I wrapped red Baker's Twine around it.
The sentiment is from KW's You Are the Best stamp set, which was die cut with a heart die (same set as above) after white heat embossing. The little hearts were cut using the KW Essential dies set.
That wraps up Valentine's Day for this year (you can see the card I made for my husband here using Stamping Bella's Oddball Cupid). Thanks so much for stopping by!
Take care!
Stef

Fabulous Valentine cards for your grands!
Oops... I think I forgot to thank you for playing along at Just Us Girls!
My grands are all adults too but I still send Valentines so I understand you continuing to make them, Stef. The stenciled hearts are bright and cheery and the glitter heart holds the sentiment well. Thanks for sharing that one with us at Time Out. I love red, white and black, especially if it includes a plaid so those cards speak to me. Thanks for sharing that one with us at Just Us Girls.
Beautiful colors and design Stef. What a fun stenciled card to pull out of an envelope! Thanks so much for playing with us at Time Out and JUGS!
The colours are so beautiful and vibrant! Great design in both cards! Thanks for joining us at Time Out Challenge:)
Two great cards Steph! I'm sure your grandchildren will treasure them. I love the pretty vibrant colours on your first card! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Time Out Challenges. :)
