It's hard to believe that Valentine's Day is only 2 weeks from tomorrow! You haven't made your Valentine's Day cards yet? Well, I'm here to help! Today, I have NINE last minute Valentine's Day cards to share with you. Best of all, they're all quick & easy to make!
Here are three, full-size cards that feature the beautiful Always in My Heart Bundle from the Stampin' Up! January - June 2021 Mini Catalog. It's one of the bundles in the Love You Always Suite.
The bundle includes the Always in My Heart Stamp Set and the Floral Hearts Dies. Purchasing them together as a bundle saves you 10%, versus buying them separately.
The card in the middle is one I posted a couple weeks ago. I have a written tutorial for it, and you can find it by CLICKING HERE.
I completely make two of the cards I feature in my video below, and this is the first one I make. Isn't that floral heart beautiful? I wish you could see it in person, because I made it with the Pearlescent Specialty Paper in the Sand & Sea Suite from the Jan. - June Mini Catalog. You can kind of tell in the picture above, but it's even prettier in person!
Did you know you can stamp on the Pearlescent paper? You can, as long as you heat set it. I show how in the video below.
I also used the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (DSP) on this card. This is a Level One Sale-A-Bration item, and you can get it FREE with a $50 order (before shipping & tax). You'll need to hurry, though. Sale-A-Bration Ends February 28, 2021! You can find out more about Sale-A-Bration HERE.
Here's the inside of the card. If you want to add more flowers, you definitely can. The Always in My Heart Stamp Set has a few flowers to choose from, too!

This the card I make near the end of the video. This card is perfect for the man in your life. I still used the Always in My Heart Bundle. I even used the Floral Heart die in the bundle, but as you can see, the floral part wasn't used to make it more masculine.
I also used the True Love DSP and Matte Black Dots, which are also in the Love You Always Suite. The True Love DSP is a 12" x 12" paper pack. There are 6, double-sided designs, and you get 2 of each design. One side has a floral design, and the other side has patterns. I used the pattern sides of two designs, since it's for a guy.
The Matte Black Dots includes two different sizes, and I used both. They have a nice, smooth look to them, and they go perfect with that black & white DSP paper!
Instead of stamping hearts inside of the card, I opted to do a die-cut heart border. I show how to do it in the video below.
Dimensions:
- Basic Black CS: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (card base)
- Basic White CS: (2) 4" x 5-1/4" (embossed base layer & inside) & 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" (heart)
- Cherry Cobbler CS: 5-1/4" x 1-1/4" (banner) & 1/2" x 4-1/2" (heart border)
- True Love DSP: 1" x 4-1/2" (left strip) & 3/4" x 4" (right strip)
- Matte Black Dots: 1 Large & 2 Small

Here are the last six, last minute Valentine's Day cards. They were made super quick using the Sweet Little Valentines Cards & More in the Jan - June Mini Catalog. You get 5 each of 2 card bases, 5 each of 2 double-sided scallop cards, and 5 each of 2 envelopes. I show them up close in my video. These cards would be perfect to make for your co-workers, or for you kids to make for their school friends.
These two cards were made without any stamps. I only added some Gold Shimmer Ribbon and gold pearls from the Metallic Pearls. These are both in the Annual Catalog. Once these were added, I then attached the scallop cards to the card bases using Stampin' Dimensionals.
These two cards were made using the Always in My Heart Bundle. The only ink pad I used was the Melon Mambo Classic Stampin' Pad. Once again, I used the Gold Shimmer Ribbon and Metallic Pearls. This time, I attached the scallop cards to the card bases with Stampin' Seal. The heart on the first card, and the banner on the 2nd card, were put on with Stampin' Dimensionals.
These card were made exactly the same way as the Always in My Heart cards, except I used the Punch Party Stamp Set. The heart on the second card was colored in with a Pool Party Stampin' Write Marker. This wonderful stamp set is an extra host gift during Sale-A-Bration.
The only way you can get it is to either host at least a $300 (before shipping & tax) workshop or place a personal $300 or more (before shipping & tax) order during Sale-A-Bration. They need to be placed no later than February 28, 2021!
