I held a couple of Valentine’s Day classes recently and as usual they were so much fun.  Here’s one of the cards that we made – I purposely left the “Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment off so it can be used for any occasion that you want to express your love.  If I was to use this for Valentine’s Day, I’d simply stamp the matching “Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment on the inside of the card.

The card uses half of the scallop shapes in the Carousel Notes pack (from the Australian Summer Mini catalogue).  To keep a bit of a theme, I kept the colours simple: Soft Sky, Real Red and Whisper White.  Also for another theme, I pierced holes around the Soft Sky cardstock under the sentiment, added dots with a white gel pen around the scallop shape and glued flat-backed pearls to the bottom which also helped to balance the card.

Here’s a list of the Stampin’ Up! products I used to make this card, if there’s anything that you’d like from here then feel free to email me at angelasargeant@gmail.com.
