Video Tutorial: Quick & Easy Valentine Cards

 

I have been having fun making Valentine cards using the Sweet Conversations stamp set, Sweet Heart Dies, Sweet Talk Designer Paper, and other products from the NEW Jan/June 2022 Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up!

In the video I show you how to make TWO Quick and Easy cards.  Plus I show you three ways to make cute Conversation Hearts to use on your projects.  Finally - if you watch until the end of the video. you will see 8 other projects that I made using these supplies.  (If you are viewing this in your email or on a mobile device  - you may need to click on the title to load the video.)

Below are the cards I featured in the video. In the video, I made the card on the left using a Basic White card base - instead of adhering the designer paper to a layer of white card stock.


Below are several of the cards that I showed at the end of the video.
