Language of Love for the February Pals’ Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, we’re speaking the Language of Love! If you’re craving inspiration and a good excuse to break out your favorite craft supplies, you’re in the right place. This hop is all about sharing the love through handmade cards and paper crafts, and the Pals can’t wait to inspire you with beautiful creations made using Stampin’ Up! products.

Here are just some of the 20 Valentine’s Day cards I made for my second grade great-niece to share with her classmates. I used the same layout and supplies with different paper patterns.

I’m in the process of making her brother’s class set of Valentine’s, and you can see them here.

What I Did:

When I am mass-producing cards, I get all my trimming, stamping, and cropping done first
- When I put the cards together, I added all the DSP pieces, then went back and added the cardstock, heart, arrows, and dinosaurs
I used the Stampin’ Up! notecards and trimmed them in half for the bases of the postcards
- The one pack of 20 notecards gave me enough postcards for both class sets of cards for my great-nephew and his sister
After running pieces of cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Hearts of Love 3D embossing folder, I trimmed them all to 4-7/8 by 2-3/8 inches
- I used Strawberry Slush, Flirty Flamingo, and Bubble Bath cardstock for these mats, all three of which are part of the color pallet for the Made with Love DSP
For both sets of cards, I trimmed 4 12″ x 12″ inch Made with Love pieces of DSP (designer series paper) to 4-inch strips, then trimmed those down to 3 inch x 2-1/2 inch pieces of DSP
- If you are using directional DSP, make sure you pay attention to the orientation of the paper
I needed something to anchor the dinosaur, so I embossed a piece of cardstock using the Hearts of Love embossing folder and trimmed strips to 3/4 by 4-3/8 inches
I stamped all the hearts and sentiments using Strawberry Slush on white cardstock
After trimming down the white sentiment cardstock to 1-3/4 by 2-1/2 inches, I outlined each using the Strawberry Slush marker (which now appears to be buried somewhere on my desk)
I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere all the pieces together
