Love Greeting Card

A Love Greeting Card is sometimes just what you need to make someone feel extra special

I needed a love greeting card one week and wound up making 14. I suddenly thought how these cards could be just the thing people might need to bring cheer to a special person. Here's how the cards turned out:

Here's What I Used:

• Whisper White cardstock for the base
• A sentiment stamp (I used a retired one from Stampin' Up!)
• A background stamp (I used a retired roller stamp from Stampin' Up!)
• Pink and green ink pads
• Stampin' Write Markers (from Stampin' Up!)
• Some contrasting or coordinating cardstock to mount the sentiment on and some extra white cardstock for the background
• Double sided tape and some Stampin' Dimensionalls
• Rhinestones
• Kindy glitz
• Paper cutter and scissors, a ruler, and a pencil if needed

Here's How I Made My Greetings:

First I made the background by rolling rows of little flowers on some white cardstock in pink and green ink. I put some Kindy Glitz in the centre of each little flower and put this aside to dry completely. You could get a similar effect by using your Two-Way Glue Pen and some Dazzling Diamonds. It would dry faster than Kindy Glitz does. (Why didn't I think of that earlier? Lol!)

Next I coloured the stamp in three different colours with my Stampin' Write markers. I chose a pale blue, a pale purple and a yellow. I huffed on the stamp after I inked it up to hydrate it, then stamped it onto white cardstock. After it was trimmed to the size I wanted and the edges were inked by dragging them across an ink pad, I attached the sentiment to some Apricot Appeal cardstock (retired) and trimmed it to be a mat for my sentiment.

After the background piece with the Kindy Glitz on it was dry, I cut it into three even strips, added double sided tape to the back of each, and used my ruler to set them evenly on the card where I wanted them to be.

I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of my sentiment topper, then attached it where I liked the look of it.

Finally I added a little crystal pink flower to the 'v' in Love on the sentiment.

Don't forget to sign the back of your cards so people know they are hand made by you. I stamp a Stampin' Up 'handmade' stamp on the back of my cards so people will know where the images come from too.

Now you have a sweet Love Greeting Card and you can add whatever you want to the inside before you give it to your special person.

Go ahead - brighten someone's day with a handmade card. You could be making a real difference to them.
