I'm in Love with Love Notes!

It's hard to imagine doing a card video where I don't do any stamping, but there is no stamping in today's video!  The Love Notes pack of DSP (Designer Series Paper) was just released in the January - April Mini Catalog.  It has six different sheets of two-sided paper (6" x 6"), eight of each sheet.  There are many blocks measuring 3" x 3" or 1-1/2" x 3" that can be used for sentiments and design elements.  What I love about some of the blocks is that they are Valentine's on one side and generic on the reverse, leaving you with plenty of card-making options.  This pack is perfect for making cards with friends or your kids - plenty to go around!

Gather your supplies:

• Cardstock:  Real Red 8-1/2" x 5-1/2 scored at 4-1/4"; Love Notes 6" x 6" DSP; White Willow 4" x 5-1/4" and a scrap
• Adhesive and Tools

You are not going to believe how quickly this card comes together!  After folding the card base in half, you need to trim the panel with the heart from 4-1/4" x 6" down to 4" x 5-1/4".  To do this, I cut 1/8" off each side and 3/8" off top and bottom, then adhered this to the card front.  

For the sentiment, I didn't like "Love" being as big as it is, so I trimmed it down.  I didn't measure, just trimmed until it was the size I wanted.  Then I matted it with White Willow (this is a 12" pack of paper found in our Two-Tone section and is often used for Scrapbooking).  Again, I didn't measure but just "eye balled" it.  I added it the card front with Dimensionals.

For the inside, I used a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of White Willow and added the Hugs rectangle near the upper left corner.  That leaves me plenty of space to write my message.  I think this card would be perfect for someone recovering from surgery, needing a little encouragement, or just under the weather.

I have eight other cards to show - with the exception of the first one, there is no stamping at all!  I made one a gift card holder and you could easily do that for many others too.  I added a little ribbon or embellishments here or there, but really, they are came together very quickly.  If you need any more details, leave me a comment in the video and I'll answer your question.  

I hope you've enjoyed these samples and I wish you lots of love as you make cards with this pack!
