This simple card to make with patterned paper is just so sweet! Plus whenever I can create a super fast (but not have it look like I did!) card, I am all over it!
Check out the instructions below to make your first Happy Heart Day card!
I had to play with the Sweet Talk DSP first from all the things I got in my new mini items and wanted a card you could make pretty quickly with a WOW factor!
With such great paper, you don’t want to hide it too much! So the simple little strip of Highland Heather studded with the Dotty Hearts embossing folder is just enough to add a bit of polish!
Now you might be wondering where that embossing folder is. It’s from the 2021-22 Annual Catalogue on the bottom of page 154 and comes in a set of two. I think it got lost in the shuffle a little bit with all the wonderful things so you might have missed it too.
Let’s take a mo to see all the cute designs in this designer series paper!
I’m not sure this paper screams Valentine’s! What do you think?

Create a Simple Card!
This design is one you can create over and over again using the supplies you have on hand. I couldn’t resist this candy hearts one. And while I focussed on the purples, with all the colours in this paper, you might like to pull out the pink or red or the yellow or orange.
If you like, click here to see all the supplies I did use that you can pin, print or order from!
Each one of the 12″ x 12″ DSP would make 6 cards. With two sheets in every package, that’s 12 cards quick and easy. And so many more patterns that are just as sweet!
So think of how fast you’d be able to get all your “Happy Heart Day” greetings stamped and addressed!
