Hi Crafters,
Love is in the air, and there's no better time to craft something beautiful from the heart! This week, we're creating a stunning shaped card that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day using the Beautiful Birthday Dies, Heartfelt Cardstock and Heartfelt Stickers. These goodies are a dream to craft with! You’ll get 24 sheets of 12"x12" and 6"x8" double-sided patterned cardstock full of romantic colors and prints, plus a collection of stickers that include vintage-inspired roses, sweet sentiments, and charming embellishments.
Let’s make something truly heartfelt together!
Start by using the Beautiful Birthday Dies to cut a shaped card base from Ivory Cardstock and a nested layer from the Matte Gold Foil. Diecut a shadow layer from the Heartfelt Cardstock to give your card that gorgeous pattern.

Cut out 2 of the pink roses from one of the rose patterned cardstock papers. To create a unique lattice background using the floral lattice cardstock.
Cut out the “x” segments with a craft knife for a delicate diamond look.

Attach your Heartfelt patterned shadow layer to your shaped card.

Add the lattice background on top using foam adhesive to make it pop.

Place your Matte Gold Foil diecut on top of the lattice background to frame your design beautifully.

Stick one of the Heartfelt Sentiment Stickers right in the center. So sweet!

Tuck in your fussy cut roses with gold foil flourishes— one at the top and one at the bottom.

For extra flair, try adding one of the Baroque Frame Dies to layer with your Heartfelt cardstock. It adds elegance in a snap!

Heartfelt Cardstock brings romance and gorgeous pops of color to your valentines!

You'll love the sweet sentiments in the Heartfelt Stickers, along with the gorgeous florals.

Now you have a heartfelt masterpiece just in time for Valentine’s Day. The rich colors, floral details and sweet messages make this card one to treasure.
We hope this project has inspired you to look at your patterned papers in a whole new way. Fussy cutting, layering, and framing can turn simple paper into something extraordinary. Try this card for a friend, a sweetheart or anyone who deserves a little love in their mailbox!

Such a lovely way to use the beautiful patterns yet still be able to see them all.
Happy Crafting!
I haven’t been able to craft anything for a long while. I AM SO GRATEFUL, that I have been die-cutting, embossing, sanding lots of hearts to make Valentines to send & give! Yippee! Thankful, Grateful.♥️🩷💜❤️🩵
Thanks very much, Anna—I love your Tutorials because we get greater perspective of your products’ wonderful patterns! I also love ‘Harlequin’ (maybe because I love DIAMONDS?!), and how NEAT the way it also then shows off the coordinating pattern when fussy cut! Brilliant—AGAIN! THANKS, Anna!
Great ideas. I need MORE!
Love it!
