Vellum Made with Love



Now that it's almost January, it's time to get going on our next card-making holiday, Valentine's Day. And Stampin' Up has some great new products in our 2026 Jan-April Mini Catalog to help you along with that. I've used several products from the Made with Love suite as well as the Love Notes 6" by 6" Designer Series Paper. The Love Notes DSP gives you multiple copies of each page, which is perfect for making lots of valentines!

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:

  1. Real Red cardstock—card base 5 1/2" by 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼” on the long side and folded in half along the score line
  2. Vellum--4 1/4" by 5 1/2"
  3. Made with Love DSP—3 1/4" square
  4. Love Notes 6" by 6" Designer Series Paper--cut one of the 3" squares down to a 2 3/4" square
  5. Basic White--3 1/2" (or 3 3/4") by 5 " (watch the video to see how to get 5 inside pieces from one page of cardstock)
  6. Stamp set--Endless Love
  7. Dies--Endless Love
  8. Hearts of  Love 3D Embossing Folder
  9. Ink—Real Red
  10. Loose Valentine's Assortment Embellishments
  11. Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon
  12. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Stamp, Cut and Emboss Machine, Take Your Pick Tool,  Piercing Mat or Glass Mat Studio, Regular Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots 
Run the Vellum through your Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Hearts of  Love 3D Embossing Folder. Wait to attach it to the front until you've put the sentiment piece on (see why on my video below).

Attach the Love Notes square to the Made with Love square then attach that to the Vellum with Dimensionals. Now attach the Vellum to the card front, just putting adhesive under the squares and a tiny bit of glue under the corners--I used an old sponge to just apply a tiny bit to the corners so it doesn't show. 

Wrap the Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon twice around the left side of the card front and tie a bow. Slant cut the ends of the ribbon. Now attach 3 of the Loose Valentine's Assortment Embellishments hearts to the front using Mini Glue Dots. 


For the inside, using Real Red ink, stamp the multi-hearts stamp from Endless Love on the Basic White piece of cardstock and attach to the inside of the card.


You are done--here's another picture of the front of the card.

  3rd Charming Duck Pond Post This card is a modified gate-fold card as the left front is just 1 1/4". I love how you can use most of the page of the 6" by 6" piece of DSP scenery to make this card. Sometimes I use the back side for the little pieces, but this time I used a separate piece of DSP with just the rushes on it. Enjoy!

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

Gingerbread Man & Woman Aren't these gingerbread man and woman just so cute? They are from the new 2025 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog that goes live to everyone at midnight 9/3/25. I am sure they are going to be a big seller, so get yours quickly before they sell out (just my prediction). The stamp set has lots of different expressions for our little gingerbread person, and the dies have many different objects for them to hold, but the cutest part of the bundle is that the die cuts 2 gingerbread men that you fold in half to make a card that can open.  This set is called Gingerbread Man, but I just had to see if I could make a gingerbread woman as he seemed to need a girlfriend. I don't know if you can tell, but her skirt is made from one of the Coneflower Celebrations dies cut from both Real Red and Garden Green cardstock. I'm sure whomever thought up those dies never thought they'd be used like this.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Thick Basic White car...
