Die Cut Heart Cards

Last Minute DIY Valentine’s Day Card

Die Cut Heart Cards

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day!  Are you ready?  Do you still need to make up a special Valentine’s Day Card?  Here is a quick and really simple way to make a fun Valentine’s Day card.

Basic Hearts Thin Cuts dies

For this card design, I took a little different approach. Using Close To My Heart’s *NEW* Basic Hearts Thin Cuts, I cut out the largest size heart from my cardstock.  Instead of using the heart that was cut out, I’m using the negative space that remains (note: save that heart for another project!)

CTMH Adventure Fundamentals Paper

I took some of our beautiful Adventure Fundamentals that have tiny hearts and adhered it behind the open heart.

CTMH Baby Bundle Stamp Set

I then matted it onto Black Cardstock and onto a White Daisy Card base.  The final touch was a sweet sentiment from the Baby Bundle Stamp Set (a little unexpected, right?)

Cranberry Die Cut Heart Card

I created this design a few different ways.  Two are tone-on-tone.  This first one is done in Cranberry Cardstock with Cranberry Heart B&T Paper (“Background & Texture.”)

Blossom Die Cut Heart Card

This next one is the same idea but using Blossom Cardstock with the coordinating Blossom Heart B&T Paper.

Cranberry & Blossom Die Cut Heart Card

Finally, I decided to mix the two–I used Cranberry Cardstock with Blossom Heart B&T Paper.

Pink Felt Envelope

Rather than using a traditional envelope for my cards for my kids and husband, I found these adorable felt envelopes at Target–in their Dollar Spot (this section is so dangerous!!)

On the back of this Pink Felt Envelope it has this adorable hashtag which I know my daughter will love!

Turquoise Felt Envelope

Then there was this turquoise one.  It sort of reminded me a little of Christmas rather than Valentines’s because of the color combination.

Grey Felt Envelope

But my favorite one was this grey one!  Plus, the other perk of these envelopes are that they are oversized so they fit a card and some fun treats in them perfectly.  A creative and cute packaging idea!

So if you are in a pinch and need a last minute card or envelope, try out this card design and head to Target’s Dollar Spot!
