It's almost time to celebrate that "day of love", Valentines Day. And in my Cards-by-Mail this month, I had a Valentine card.
Since a traditional Valentine is not really my cup of tea, I did not purchase the stamps that were (are) available in the January - June 2022 Mini Catalog. I did, however, get some of the Sweet Talk Suite products, including the Sweet Hearts dies, the Gingham embossing folder, and the Sweet Talk patterned paper. I knew I could make Valentines to satisfy my card club "obligations" with these products, and didn't need stamps I really did't want.
My focus was the little envelope from the die set. Isn't that sweet? And it can be used for many occasions when "sending thoughts", "sending love", or "sending birthday wishes". And here we stuffed it with hearts, cut from the Sweet Hearts dies, and tied it all up with a twine bow.
I love the patterned paper! And it isn't red or pink! The Highland Heather makes a non-traditional Valentines Day card, and I added the striped pattern after cutting it with the Basic Borders dies. Just a fun touch when using multiple patterns of the papers.
So what do you think? Am I a Valentine scrooge? Or does this sweet card fit the occasion even though there isn't a red or pink theme? I think it's perfect! 💜
