Happy Valentine's Day (MIM #236: 2015 A la Carte)


I can't believe I'm just about done packing away my Christmas stamps and I'm already making a Valentine card! lol This week's Make It Monday #236: 2015 A la carte allows us to select any of the 40 MIMs from 2015. I chose Make It Monday #226: Creating With Stripes as this is one I didn't participate in. Laurie Willison was the host and is known for her CAS cards. I decided to make a simple card of my own since I'm still a little worn out from the holidays.

On white cardstock, I stamped the stripes in 3 shades of pink ink - Lovely Lady, Hibiscus Burst and Raspberry Fizz. I stamped the sentiment in black ink and added the heart, also in Lovely Lady ink.

I cut the panel to 3.75" x 5.0", backed it with fun foam and placed it on a white cardstock card base.  This was certainly quick and easy to make.....just what I needed!

Card Details:
  • Stamps:  PTI Background Basics: Super Stripes, Keep It Simple: Valentine, Balloon Bash
  • Paper:  PTI White Stampers Select
  • Ink:  PTI Lovely Lady, Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz; Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Other:  Fun Foam
