Hey, crafty friends!
Today, I am sharing a last-minute Valentine's Day card idea using the Pretty Pink Posh Pond Friends stamp set.
First, I made the Lawn Fawn scalloped box card as directed and used just one type of patterned paper for all the panels. The one I used is from the This is Family Collection by Jen Hadfield for Pebbles. I then used a light blue cardstock for the inserts. Since I don't have any wavy dies for the water, I used the scallop die from the Stitched Borders 1 die set and ran it upside down through my die cut machine.
I then stamped the swans, the cluster of hearts, and stamped 2 bows from the Reindeer Friends stamp set. It's my favorite little bow and I like using it as a hair bow or a bow tie for the PPP people stamps. It's just the perfect size. Next, I did some easy Copic coloring using the following shades:
Swan - BG0000 for shading
Beak - YR02/00
Blush - R00
Bows - BG11/10
Hearts - R24/22
I cut the "You are very special to me" sentiment, stamped on a small oval, and foam mounted onto the front flap of the box. Lastly, I adhered the swans in the front insert and attached the hearts to a piece of acetate and adhered in the back insert.
I hope this simple card inspires you to create. To cut down on production time, you can skip the copic coloring on the shading of the swans and skip the bows. The box does take a few minutes to build, but by making all the other elements simple, you'll be able to recreate this in no time.
