Featured Post: Fun Lovin + Matchbook Medleys

Hello Papertrey loving friends! Today is my turn for a featured post and I am showcasing the Fun Lovin stamps and dies as well as the Matchbook die collection.

These matchbook dies are the PERFECT Valentine’s size. They have so many coordinating options too that you could seriously create completely different looks each time you made one.

I love the idea of adding it to the front of a card too for a little something special. 🙂

For a much more masculine Valentine, I created a large red stripe in the top panel of my card by repeat sentiment stamping. I die cut the center and created a window and stamped the big, bold, black sunglasses underneath.

And for my last project, I went bright and sunny with the color combination.

To create the chevron pattern, I stamped the ice cream cone bottom over and over. The tone on tone hearts add a subtle extra bit of texture and the pink hearts pop off the background.

Multiple colors of twine add the finishing touch.

I created these two clean and simple cards using the stamps and die from Perfect Fit. The card on the left is a one layer, completely flat card, and the one on the right is flat with the exception of the center puzzle piece being popped up.

Masculine/Feminine Mini Valentines

Happy Tuesday! I have 4 mini Valentine’s Day cards for you today with feminine and masculine feels. I decided to make these mini so I could throw together some last minute ones that would be fun to give away to friends or to attach to a gift. Here are the “male” versions of the cards: >>

I started by cutting a kraft A2 card base in half and attaching the washi/glitter tapes. Next, I stamped the (adorable!!) tiny heart in smokey gray alongside the tapes and finished each off with a sentiment – a stamped sentiment on card 1 and an embellishment sentiment on card 2. I added a little piece of gray string as well to card 1. And that’s it! These were super simple and left the ability to easily add another sentiment on the inside. Here are the feminine versions: >>

For these two, I used the white card base cut in half. For the first card, I started by stamping the arrows along the left side and then stamped the heart next to the arrows in gray. I stamped the sentiment at the bottom right hand corner in black and finished it off with a wrap and a bow of metallic cord from Target with a piece of pink ribbon.

For the second card, I started by stamping the pink polka dots on the background. I stamped my sentiment onto a trimmed piece of white cardstock and mounted it on trimmed navy cardstock. I wrapped the metallic cord around the top of the card base and tied it into a bow with a different piece of pink ribbon and then adhered the sentiment to the mini card with dimensional adhesive. And that’s it!

Mini cards are a lot of fun to put together – I love using tiny canvases!! I hope you all have a wonderful week and an incredible Valentine’s Day!
