I’m taking a break from my “All My Love” series to showcase a few other stamp sets and die bundles that are super for Valentine’s Day cards.  From the Stampin’ Up! annual catalog, how about “Love you to Pieces“.  This bundle is awesome for all sorts of occasions, but has some stamps especially great for Valentine’s Day.  The new Lace embossing folder made a great background.  And both of the Stampin’ Up ribbons I used were very fun – lightweight and easy to tie.

Today’s Tip:  I pieced together the puzzle background in the first card.  But it would have been so much easier to use the Big Shot Embossing mats to emboss the puzzle.  Oh well, next time!

Next I moved to the Floral Frames bundle.  Again, this stamp set and dies are good for many occasions, but pretty in pink for Valentine’s Day.

And finally, I moved back to the Occasions catalog and the “Well Said” Bundle.  This bundle is the most expensive that Stampin’ Up! carries but is well worth it with sentiment stamps and word dies for EVERY occasion so it’s a must have.  Use your host benefits to get it free or half price, or at least get a Sale-abration freebie with it.  Or better yet, get it at a great discount in your demonstrator starter kit.

These cards are rather simple, but the foil sheets (Sale-a-bration freebie) that I used with the dies add just the right touch.

Any questions, shoot me an email or comment.  I’d love to hear from you.

Happy crafting,
