Valentine with Floral Heart Dies and Sweet Conversation Hearts

                      

  • Valentine with Sweet Conversations and  Floral Heart Die
  • Coordinating Sweet Hearts Dies 
  • Kisses & Hugs Mini Treat Boxes Add-On Now Here!
If you're looking for just the right card to send your loves this Valentine Days, check out the card I created today using a combination of the Sweet Conversations bundle and the Floral Heart Die.  The Sweet Conversations bundle is from the January-June 2022 Mini catalog and the Floral Heart Die is in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.   I also used one of the prints from the Sweet Talk 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper pack and a couple of Pastel Pearl 2022.  This card goes together so quickly, and showcases how well Stampin' Up! products coordinate across product bundles.
  

Handmade Valentine Card using Sweet Conversation and  Floral Heat Die from Stampin Up!




To create this card, I began with a basecard of Gorgeous Grape Cardstock.  Then a layer of Basic White Cardstock.  Then I selected a print from Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper Pack.  I next created a Basic White Die Cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

Handmade Valentine Card using Stampin' Up! Floral Heart Dies and Sweet Conversations Bundle




I could have stamped the hearts from Sweet Conversation Stamp Set, but instead, I used the Sweet Heart Dies and die cut heart images out of one of the prints from the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper.  Then I added them to the center of the large floral Die Cut image using the Floral Heart Die.  The large floral heart is die cut from Gorgeous Grape cardstock.

Then I a couple of Gorgeous Grape pearls from the Pastel Pearl Pack.  A fast, easy card that looks like you spent a lot of time creating a handmade greeting for someone you love.

Time to create Valentines using the Sweet Conversations Stamp Set

 

  • Fun Valentines using Sweet Conversations Bundle
  • Create different Valentine looks using Sweet Heart Dies 
  • Kisses & Hugs Mini Treat Boxes Add-On Now Here!
I have a couple of cute Valentine cards to share with you today.  Both use the Sweet Conversations Stamp set and the coordinating Sweet Heart dies, and both are swap cards I received from a recent swap.  They are part of the Sweet Talk Suite on page 8-10 in the Stampin' Up! January-June 2022 Mini Catalog.  There are so many different looks you can create using the Sweet Heart Dies -  Tags, tiny envelopes, horizontal hearts, vertical hearts, and dies that die cut the hearts from the coordinating Designer Series Paper.  Depending on the papers you select, you can create traditional looking Valentines, or Valentines with non-traditional colors.   You'll love giving these Valentines to someone you love. Order the entire Sweet Talk Suite, item #157629 | for $86.26 and qualify for a Free Sale-A-Bration Selection. The full Suite also includes the Gingham Embossing Folder, Sweet Little Boxes, and Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels -- a fun collection, perfect for your Valentine needs.   Full recipes for each card, below. 

Two handmade Valentine Cards showing different looks created using the Stampin' Up! Sweet Conversations Bundle Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies


The first card is from Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Robin Cushner, at Stampin up With Robin C.  The base card is Real Red Cardstock.  Then another layer of Real Red Cardstock popped up on Dimensionals.  then three different prints from the Sweet Talk 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper. 



Handmade Valentine Card using the Stampin' Up! Sweet Talk Suite including the Sweet Conversations Stamp Set and Sweet Heart Dies


Then  she used one of the sweetheart dies to create a small Real Red envelope, and used another die to die cut one of the hearts she stamped using the Sweet Conversations Stamp Set.  She decorated the heart with a small Pearl Basic Jewell and added a bow using the Real Red 3/8" Linen Ribbon that is also part of the Sweet Talk Suite.   

Recipe

  • Stamps:  Sweet Conversations Stamp Set
  • Ink: Highland Heather
  • Paper: Real Red, Basic White, Sweet Talk 12" X 12: Designer Series Paper
  • Accessories: Sweet Heart Dies, 3/8" Real Red Linen Ribbon, Pearl Basic Jewels, Cut & Emboss Machine, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin' Seal, Dimensionals
 
The next card is from Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Denise Will.  She began with a base card of Petal Pink.  Then a layer of Basic White stamped with Petal Pink hearts from the Sweet Conversations Stamp Set.  Then a layer of Smoky Slate used as a matte to a piece of Petal Pink 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment pack.  


Handmade Valentine Card using the Stampin' Up! Sweet Conversations Bundle
 
The coordinating Three hearts are die cut from the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper, with strings of White Baker's Twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack so they look like suspended balloons.  Very creative!  Then she used a die cut from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to create a Basic White label for her sentiment.  The sentiment is stamped in Smoky Slate Ink.  


Recipe

  • Stamps:  Sweet Conversations Dies
  • Ink: Smoky Slate, Petal Pink
  • Paper: Basic White, Smoky Slate, Petal Pink, 6" X 6' Designer Paper Assortment
