Overlapping hearts Using great color combinations is important when designing your projects.  Here three colorbox colors were used - moss, lavendar and dusty plum.   Items used: B4845 - Be Mine Vellum Envelopes - pink Eyelets - raspberry Brilliance Ink - pearlescent orchid, purple, victorian violet Memory Box Rectangle Card - pink

Heart flowers Stamp your green background with a block stamp.  Using watercolor markers, color directly on the rubber so the hearts are red and the grass and stems are green. Items used: B4867 - heart flowers B4547 - block A4717 - thinking of you Impress pad - olive Memory Box Card - white smooth

Heart Cards It's so quick to make a beautiful project when you start out with our heart shaped cards.  Notice how the ribbon adds a fun touch.  Since we've discovered Crafters Glue, we now like to glue on our bows rather that tie them to the card.  It makes the bow lay much straighter and you don't have that ribbon showing on the inside.     Items used: Heart Cards Colorbox ink - moss, dusty plum E4814 - double stripe B4547 - square block B4847 - heart outline B4846 - solid heart Crafter's Pick Glue

Heart Quilt Card Our newest heart stamps were all made the same basic size and shape so they would work well together.  Here Kathy simply stamped an Impress block stamp with two different colors of ink and then overstamped each block with different colored hearts.   Colors used were Colorbox moss and seaglass and versacolor petal pink. The pink eyelet adds a nice detail.   Items used: B4845 - be mine B4846 - solid heart B4847 - outline heart B4547 - square block Eyelets - pink Colorbox ink - moss, seaglass Versacolor ink - petal pink

Pink Vellum Envelope Card The soft pink color of the vellum envelopes really changes the look of the bright Brilliance colors.  Here we simply put the stamped card inside the envelopes and then attached it with a raspberry colored eyelet.   Items used: B4845 - Be Mine Vellum Envelopes - pink Eyelets - raspberry Brilliance Ink - pearlescent orchid, purple, Victorian violet Memory Box Rectangle Card - pink

Three Heart Card First punch out three hearts out of the duplex pink paper.  Then stamp each one with the three stamps listed below using Brilliance pearlescent orchid.  To attach the hearts, use double stick mounting tape.  It makes the hearts stand out just a bit from the paper and is a technique we like to use a lot at Impress.  The tape is very strong and comes in a roll so you can cut off just the right amount for each application.  It works great.   Items used: Heart Punch Double Stick Mounting Tape B4845 - be mine B4633 - four stripes D4793 - large dot background Brilliance Ink - pearlescent orchid

Scalloped Square Be Mine  You can't use too may scalloped edges on a Valentine card.  Here we simply punched the scallop square punch out and then added a 3/16" white eyelet.  Be mine was stamped and clear glitter glue was added to each scallop.  Sheer white Midori ribbon adds a soft touch. Items used: B4845 - be mine Brilliance Ink - pearlescent orchid Eyelet - white Midori Ribbon - white Scallop Punch Sparkles - diamond

Mini Envelope Valentine Punch out the heart out of pink duplex paper.  Then  stamp the four stripe block with Brilliance pearlescent orchid over it.  Stamp the be mine stamp over this using a light pink ink. You have a charming little heart message to tuck into the mini silver envelope.  The silver paper behind the envelope is our silver text weight paper. Items used: B4845 - be mine Heart Punch Mini Envelope - silver Brilliance Ink - pearlescent orchid Silver Text Paper Memory Box Card - pink
