Monthly Team Challenge

Team Challenge Card

The February Monthly Team Challenge for our team, the Red White and Bluegrass Stampers, is to make a card (or pull one from our stash) to give to our mail carrier.

When I was working on VFVs (Valentines for Veterans) this month, I found this card and thought it would be perfect for the challenge. This is a card from an old (Jan 2021) Paper Pumpkin kit. What do you think?

Quick & Easy Valentine

Dies aren’t just for cutting! Today’s project is a quick and easy Valentine using a fun technique for the pieces you’d normally throw in the trash when you use your dies.

Made With Love Suite

Love is in the air, and the Made with Love Suite Collection has everything you need to bring it to your crafting! This collection includes heartfelt stamps, coordinating dies, and gorgeous Designer Series Paper. An embossing folder adds textured details for extra charm, and ribbon and loose embellishments provide the perfect finishing touches. Adorable heart-patterned treat bags are food-safe and perfect for packaging sweet surprises. 

Quick & Easy Valentine

How It’s Made

  1. First, cut Real Red cardstock to 5 ½” x 8 ½”.  Score at 4 ¼” on the long side and fold for card base.
  2. Next, cut a piece of Made With Love DSP to 4” x 4”, then cut diagonally from top right to bottom left.  Adhere to top and bottom of card front, leaving a 1/8” border on the outside.  This will leave a Real Red strip diagonally across the middle of the card.
  3. Cut a 4” x 4” piece of Basic White, and a 4” x 4” piece of scrap paper or cardstock.  Cut the large heart die from Endless Love Dies in the center of the scrap paper to create a mask.  Layer this over the Basic White and use masking or painter’s tape to secure the two together. (See Pic)
  4. Using your blending brush and a circular motion, add Bubble Bath ink to the Basic White cardstock, starting on your scrap paper and moving into the heart cut out.  I like to keep the center of the heart lighter than the outside for depth.  When you have the color you desire, remove the mask.  Note:  Apply the ink lightly.  It won’t look like you have a lot of color, but it will appear darker when you remove the mask.
  5. Finally, stamp the Happy Valentine’s Day stamp using Real Red ink across the blended heart.  Use your snips to cut out the heart, being careful where the words overlap the edge.  Attach to card front with Dimensionals.
  6. Embellish with Pearlized Faceted Circles.
  7. Cut a 4” x 5 ¼” Basic White panel for inside and decorate as desired.
