I also used the Branching Out dies for the outer frame. My colors include Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon & Basic Beige. This soft & soothing color combo really works!

Happy Valentine's Day!
I should be sharing a Valentine card today, but I sent them out to my family last week before I took photos! Sheesh! Here's one by Stampin' Up! using the Love for You bundle; you can see it on page 11 of the Spring Catalog.
Here are a few more cards featuring the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion. It's free with any $50 purchase in February. See it here.
I shared multiple ways to use this set and options for coloring too. I know many people do not want to color every bit of a scene like this. So I shared a variety of alternate card ideas like this one shown here.
On the colored version above I simply used my Blending Brushes with Granny Apple Green & Balmy Blue. Simple but effective. After coloring I cut the scene out with a Stitched Rectangle die. I used the 5th from the largest for the scene and the 2nd from the largest for the outside of the White layer.
Here's another set of cards. I used Blending Brushes for most of the color – Balmy Blue & Sahara Sand. I did add a bit of Dark Calypso Coral to a few areas with a Blends marker.
The greetings are from the Sending Support stamp set. This set can be seen hereand is also free with a $50 purchase from Stampin' Up! through February of 2023.
For the greeting die-cut I used a die from the Potted Succulents dies seen here. I changed the size of this die by cutting it once and then again to make it shorter. I get a lot more use of my dies this way!
I used the Fabulous Frames dies for the oval die-cut. See them here. I also used the Sending Support stamp set seen here. Both this and the In the Country stamp set are free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase through February.
I stamped the image first in Black ink and then die-cut the oval layers. I used the Wink of Stella and Classic ink to color. I love using Wink to color because the images end up sparkly.
If you don't have a Wink of Stella yet; I highly recommend them. They're a subtle way of adding shimmer or sparkle to your projects. And as you can see, you can use it for coloring too! I show how in the video below.
Tip: when the fluid in the Wink of Stella runs out, add a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol inside the barrel. You'll get quite a bit more use of it.
All of the layers are adhered down but the colored oval and greeting; they're popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I added a piece of Fancy Florals DSP to the card base. I cut a piece at 4" X 5 1/4" and then cut it in half for two cards. Other measurements are shown below.
Plus they are super easy to make. No stamps or ink are needed to finish them. You will need a paper trimmer, adhesives and a paper snips to complete the cards. They'd be perfect for a quick afternoon of stamping and you'll have 10 beautiful finished projects with coordinating envelopes.
You'll receive 1/2 pkg of the Texture Chic Memories & More cards & envelopes, 1/2 pkg of the printed cards & die-cut elements, enough ribbons and a share of pastel adhesive-backed sequins to create 10 cards with coordinating envelopes.
This kit will be mailed to you by the end of February via Priority Mail and the PDF is sent via email immediately after you order. Please check your spam folder.
