With love everywhere this upcoming happy heart’s day, how could we not celebrate all things friendship on Galentine’s Day ❤️ Todays card is a sweet and simple one created just for our special friends and besties in mind! Can you believe there’s no coloring involved in this card? Super awesome especially if we need to make several at a time! So in the spirit of Leslie Knope – I dedicate these cards to all my sweet lady friends and followers ❤️ Ready to get our craft on? Here we go…
To begin with I used the second largest heart dies and die cut several in various shades of pink cardstock. I also cut out the eyelet backing of the heart using white cardstock.
Next I chose three different sentiments from one of my favorite Altenew stamp sets called Crafty Life and stamped them onto the pink hearts. I backed each heart with fun foam, glued each to their corresponding eyelet backing then set them aside. Don’t these remind you of conversation hearts? Lol!
To create the background, I chose a variety of floral designed patterned paper and die cut them using the second largest dotted rectangle. In addition, I created a frame using the Hello Bluebird gallery frame die #2 with white cardstock but only used the outer scalloped shape.
To put the background together I first glued down the white scalloped shape then the floral dotted rectangle within the frame. I centered the heart then attached it using glue.
For the inside of the card I kept with the simple theme. I used die cut white dotted rectangles with the stamped sentiment “Happy Galentine’s Day”. As a special touch I added a small stitched heart next to the sentiment.
This easy-peasy no coloring card is now complete! Keeping it clean and super simple allowed for creating more cards to send to dear friends! Hope I’ve inspired you to create little tokens of affection for your special Galentine’s! Once again thanks for stopping by and have a wonderfully crafty day 😊
