Here’s a quick and easy card that can easily be adapted to many different occasions (my favorite kind to make!).

I stamped the branch from the “Cheep Talk” stamp set with Ballet Blue ink several times along the bottom of a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Ballet Blue cardstock. Then I stamped my saying (from the Whimsical Words Sale-A-Bration set) in White craft ink on top. Adhere to a Whisper White card and you’re done!

Don’t have the Whimsical Words stamp set? Unfortunately Sale-A-Bration is over – but there’s a very similar stamp set in the Occasions Mini Catalog (available until April 30, 2010): “Well Scripted”. This set is available in both wood-mount and clear-mount.

Here are my Valentines for this year!

I used my new favorite Designer Series Paper: Sending Love Specialty*
It’s double-sided paper that’s glittery on one side. Soooo pretty!

First I added a small strip of Pretty in Pink cardstock to the bottom of my Whisper White card. Then I adhered the patterned paper on top. I cut a slit in the fold of the card and threaded my ribbon through the slit, around the front flap of the card and tied a knot. I stamped my saying at the top. And I finished it by gluing a white halfback pearl on top of one of the flowers.

Here’s a slight variation that uses a rhinestone  brad instead of the pearl:
