Hello! As Christmas cardmaking is wrapped up for the time being, I am preparing for Valentine’s Day. Seeking inspiration, I took a look back through my blog archive to find cards created for the holiday. The exercise also reminded me of products in my collection that I can use again.
The cards I discovered for this roundup range from sophisticated to adorably cute and whimsically charming – there’s a perfect expression of love for every taste and style!

As I updated information and links on the original posts, I checked to see which retailers carried the older sets. Frantic Stamper, offering fantastic customer service, has a number of the older and retired items in stock.
Observations As I look at the cards, I see that I used red or pink (or both) on all of them. The more elegant cards include gold cardstock touches. Also, I have included a heart somewhere on all of the cards, whether on the patterned paper, the stamped background, or with a die-cut element.
Even though I do not make a lot of cards for the holiday, I was more motivated to do so after looking through these cards. Do you create handmade cards for Valentine’s Day? If so, what are some of your favorite products with this theme? Do you have products on your “to buy” list with this theme?
