Hello Crafty Friends!!
Larissa here today to share a trio of Valentine’s Day Cards and coordinating Envelops that are SURE to make the recipients feel LOVED!!
Valentine Cards
Deco Foil Transfer Sheets
For the First Card, I wanted to use the Rainbow Shattered Glass Deco Foil along with the Black Deco Foil Flock Sheets and I LOVE the way the Flock not only has Texture against Foil but it also really makes the Deco Foil POP against the Black outlined Hearts!!
I started by Die Cutting the Black Velvet Deco Foil Flock Sheets using the Poppy Stamps Banded Hearts Die!! This is such a BEAUTIFUL Die and it really makes a statement on the front of a Card!! I wanted the Die Cut to be sturdy, so I Die Cut the Banded Heart Die 4 more times form some Gina K Designs Black Onyx Cardstock and adhered them all together using the Adhesive adhering the Flocked one on top!!
Next, I Die Cut the Deco Foil Toner Sheets that I foiled with Rainbow Shattered Glass Deco Foil Transfer Sheets!! I then Die Cut the same Poppy Stamps Banded Hearts Die Cut!! I used the Hearts Die Cut to add into the Heart openings of the Black Velvet Die Cut Banded Hearts Frame!! I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters to the entire Panel and I LOVE the texture it adds to the Design!!
Distress Ink the Background
For the sentiment I used the Simon Says Stamp Toner Printed Sentiments and Foiled them using Black and Gold Deco Foil Transfer Sheets!! I LOVE the way they add that special touch of Shine to the Sentiment!! I Die Cut a Heart Die Cut and inked it using some Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Inks to the center and added water splatters for some texture!! I adhered the Foiled Sentiment Strip using Zots Bling Adhesive Dots, and adhered the Heart to the Card Front using Adhesive!!
For the Envelope, I added some Black Soot Distress Pain Splatters and then Die Cut a Memory Box Double Stitched Loving Heart Cut Out of the same Rainbow Shattered Deco Foiled Toner Sheet!! You can adhere it to the Flap of the Envelope using any adhesive you like!!

Deco Foil Flock
For my second Card I wanted to create a SWEET Scene using the Deco Foil Flock Sheets and some Deco Foil Gold Metallix Gel and Gina K Design Gold Glitz Glitter Gel to create my own Glittered Sentiment!!
I Started by Die Cutting the Memory Box Leafy Heart Die from some of the NEW Emerald Green Deco Foil Flock Sheets!!
I LOVE adding dimension to the Deso Foil Flock to make it POP using Distress Oxide Inks in Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo using Ink Daubers!!
I created a Pallet of Distress Oxide Inks in Lucky Clover, Cracked Pistachio, Vintage Photo, and Twisted Citron onto my Waffle Flower Mixed Media Mat and sprayed it with Water!! Then I drug the Heart Die Cut through the Mixture to create a Watercolored Heart Die Cut to add behind the Flocked Leafy Heart Die Cut!!
Deco Foil Metallix Gel
Once it was dry I adhered the Leafy Heart to the top of the Watercolored Die Cut!! I LOVE the way it turned out and it really helps to make the Deco Foil Flocked Leafy Heart POP!!
Next, I mixed together some of the Deco Foil Gold Metallix Gel and the Gina K Designs Gold Glitz Glitter Gel together and applied it to a piece of Cardstock using the Stencil Pal for a nice thin layer!! I like to do several of these panels all at one time and then they’re dry when I want to use them to Die Cut them for my Cards!! Once the Panel was Dry I used the Memory Box Vintage Varsity Alphabet Die to Die Cut the word “LOVE” from the Gold Metallix Glitz Cardstock!! It’s so BEAUTIFUL in real life and adds that perfect touch of Sparkle and Shine to the Design!!
For the Card Panel, I Die Cut it with the Memory Box Pinpoint Leaf Plate and Die Cut the Card Panel!! Then I inked the center using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink!! I wanted to add some Splattered that matched the Gold Metallix Glitx Gel “LOVE” Letters so I mixed together some of the Gina K Designs Gold Glitz Glitter Gel and some Folk Art Metallic Gold Paint and then Splattered it onto my Card Panel!! I LOVE how it turned out!! I will definitely be doing this technique for my Cards more often as I LOVE to add Splatters and Glitter Glitz Splatters are even BETTER!!
Add a Sentiment,/h2>
For the sentiment I used the Simon Says Stamp Toner Printed Sentiments and Foiled them using Black and Gold Deco Foil Transfer Sheets!! I LOVE the way they add that special touch of Shine to the Sentiment!!
I adhered the Die Cut Letters, Bird Die Cut that I colored with Copic Markers and the Foiled Sentiment Strip to the center of the Heart using Zots Bling Adhesive Dot and then adhered it to my Card Panel using Adhesive!! A Few Sea Glass Iridescent Jewels finishes off the Design!!
For the coordinating envelope I Die Cut the Pinpoint Leaf Plate onto the Flap of the Envelop and then Die Cut another Emerald Green Flocked Leafy Heart Die Cut except for this time I added the Emerald Green Flock Sheet to some of the Easy Cut Adhesive Sheets so I’d have a Sticker that I could add to the Back of the Envelope!! I LOVE how Elegant it turned out!!

Pieced Background
For my last card I wanted to create a Dimensional Pieced Background with a Focal Sentiment Heart and I really LOVE the way it turned out!! 
I started by Die Cutting the Pink Carnation Deco Foil Flock Sheets using the Poppy Stamps Banded Hearts Die!! This is such a BEAUTIFUL Die and it really makes a statement on the front of a Card!! I wanted the Die Cut to be sturdy, so I Die Cut the Banded Heart Die 4 more times form some Gina K Designs Black Onyx Cardstock and adhered them all together using the Adhesive adhering the Flocked one on top!!
Deco Foil Flock
I saved all of the Hearts that were Die Cut from the Black Velvet Flock Sheets Banded Hearts frame from the first Card and I used them to fill in some of the openings!!
Next, I mixed together some of the Deco Foil Gold Metallix Gel and the Gina K Designs Gold Glitz Glitter Gel together and applied it to a piece of Cardstock using the Stencil Pal for a nice thin layer!! I like to do several of these panels all at one time and then they’re dry when I want to use them to Die Cut them for my Cards!! Once the Panel was Dry I used the Memory Box Vintage Varsity Alphabet Die to Die Cut the word “LOVE” from the Gold Metallix Glitz Cardstock!! It’s so BEAUTIFUL in real life and adds that perfect touch of Sparkle and Shine to the Design!!
For the sentiment I used the Simon Says Stamp Toner Printed Sentiments and Foiled them using Black and Gold Deco Foil Transfer Sheets!! I LOVE the way they add that special touch of Shine to the Sentiment!!
After Die Cutting all of the pieces I adhered the Pink Carnation Banded Heart Die Cut to the Panel after I added some Distress Oxide Ink in Picked Raspberry to a few of the Hearts using some Purple Tape to help Mask them off and then I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters!! I then filled some of the Hearts using the Pink Carnation and Black Velvet Flock Sheets that were leftover from Die Cutting the Die!! I also added some of the Gold Metallix Glitz Hearts that I also Die Cut!! I Adhered the Large Heart that I Die Cut using the Double Stitch Loving Heart Cut Out from some Patterned Paper!! I added a Vellum Envelop that I Die Cut and added a Flocked Heart too!! I LOVE how SWEET it is, and you can remove the letter inside to leave s secret message if you want!! I adhered to the “LOVE” Die Cut letters and the Foiled Sentiment with some Zots Bling Adhesive Dots!!
For the Envelop I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters and then I added the Black Velvet Flock Sheets to some of the Easy Cut Adhesive Sheets and Die Cut it using the Double Stitch Loving Heart Cut Out and added a Pink Carnation Flock Sheet Heart that was leftover from the Poppy Stamps Banded Hearts Die!!
