Want versatility in your card making – try this easy layout for a cute Valentines card! Get my measurements here and check out my latest live replay video to see exactly how to make it!
There’s nothing like having different card layouts at your fingertips to create amazing cards.
Why?
Because YOU have the flexibility to play with whatever stamps, ink and paper you have to make they look completely different!
In fact, it’s a challenge to change them up to see just how much mileage you can get out of ONE layout!
Let me show you even in the two cards I’ve got here for you!
Here’s the one we we made in our live card making class on Facebook yesterday.
Have you never attended one of my live paper crafting classes? I’d love to have you join in at my new time of 11 am Mountain time every Tuesday morning. You can find me over on my Facebook page Design with Jo!

Easy Layout for a Cute Valentines Card
Such bright and happy colours in this suite!
Daffodil Delight, Sweet Sorbet, Basic Black, Pool Party, LemonLime Twist and Petal Pink will have you dancing along with these bees! Perfect for Valentines but ideal to put a smile on anyone’s face when they open your card!
You can find the whole suite on pages 8-10 in the January to April Mini Catalogue! Plus whenever you can save some moola, I want to point it out!
Pick up the bunlde or the full suite. Since when you do you get to save 10% on the stamps and punch!
Now you’ll want to heat emboss the greeting when you stamp on the vellum paper. I’ve got a trick for doing that you can check out in the video!
If you’re in love with this cute paper like I am, you can see more of it here in this Bee Mine treat holder.
Check out the video with all the steps to make it!
Why catch the video?
You’ll find tips and tricks, like…
- how to cut your paper to get the best use of it
- the quickest (and best) way to make a bow
- why we have the heart under the vellum (you might be surprised!)
I always make a sample in advance. And this time, I chose to play with a different paper design….and a little different layout too!
Here’s the layout itself so you can print it off or download it. Did you see the few changes I made in the card we constructed together in our live?
Which One is Your Fave?
Although the cards are very similar, each has special elements that might appeal to you more.
Which one do YOU like better? The red or the yellow? And why? Please let us know!
