Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back the oh-so-talented and amazing Yana Smakula! (Please note: our dear friend Yana is Ukrainian. To show support to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, please see Yana’s post HERE.)

Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says Stamp! Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! I’m creating a Valentine’s Day card with the new To Love release products.

I’m a fan of grid card layouts as they are easy to make and super fun to fill. And my today’s card features a 2×2 love-themed grid.

I first stamped the open envelope with the letter from the Love Letter stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the inside of the envelope using R39 and R35 red Copic markers making the inside of my envelope red and the outside white. I added a touch of C1 to the edges of the envelope to create shading. I fussy cut the image using scissors – it is a simple one, so I managed just fine using detail scissors from Simon Says Stamp.

Next, I cut the circle+heart using the coordinating die from the Circle Sentiments stamp set using red cardstock. For the rest of the grid, I white heat embossed 2 sentiments: “Love you, love you, and adore you”, a postage stamp, and an arrow on the Sea Glass panel trimmed to 3 ¾ x 5” and foam mounted my panel onto A2 top folding card base.

I used foam adhesive to add the other image and finished my card by adding red red sequins from the Hot Tamale mix. Have fun stamping!
