I love to make fun fold cards and this one looks more complicated than it is. These pretty poppies make a sweet card for a friend.

Materials & Measurements 

  • Old Olive Cardstock:  4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ for base, 1″ x 4 1/4″ for sentiment layer
  • Basic White Cardstock: 3/4″ x 4″ to stamp sentiment, 2″ x 3  1/2″ to stamp poppies and cut with Stitched Rectangle Dies
  • Ribbon: ~10″ to wrap and tie knot

I stamped the Poppies in Black Memento Ink and colored with Old Olive and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment from Peaceful Moments is stamped in Old Olive Ink. I still love this polka dot tulle ribbon even though it is retired. You can view the list of products used below.

Country Bouquet Valentine Cards

I spent the weekend making valentines. It was so cold out even our sweet dog, Bo, didn’t want to go out!  He is so funny…you have to practically drag him out the door when it’s cold or rainy. I bribe him with treats. My husband takes him walking when it’s cold out. (I am just like Bo and don’t want to go out and freeze! LOL)

Here’s a look at some of the valentine cards I made.

I love the sentiments in the Country Bouquet stamp set!!! This set can be used for all your valentines (friends, family, coworkers, etc.) I can see using “Just wanted to say…” all year long for many different occasions! This set has a lot of versatility and I knew I would be adding it to my collection.

The Country Bouquet Punch which is part of the bundle is backordered until mid April but I actually found I didn’t need it to create some pretty cards.  I used the hearts from the Heart Punch Pack to punch from the beautiful Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper. You could also stamp and fussy the hearts or cut the hearts from the DSP if you like. So many choices!

Each of my cards are a little different.  The card base and layers are all the same. I played around with adding different elements. Here’s a close up of each card.

I love this petal pink ribbon.  It is so soft and adds a wonderful texture to this card. I added a mint macaron leaf I punched from the Bough Punch.

I love using this nontraditional balmy blue for a valentine! The mini heart was stamped from the stamp set and cut out. My favorite piece on this card is the pretty scallop at the bottom from the Painted Labels Dies. There are so many great dies in that set which is why it is one of my favorite die sets!

Can you guess which way I made Tic Tac Toe?
I used ALL the elements from this board to create Tic Tac Toe 8 different ways! That’s what I love about this challenge…it is so easy to pick 3 (or more) and create something!

I used one of my favorite die sets that carried over from the Holiday Mini Catalog, Cottage Wreaths Dies. (This set isn’t featured in the new catalog; however, it is still available online. *You can click on the product link below to view in my online store.) I combined the dies with the perfect sentiments from a new favorite stamp set, Country Bouquet. It had what I “just wanted to say”…
