I’m a card giver. I’ve been know to send thank you cards, thanking people for their thank you cards to me! So it’s a given that I make Valentines DIY cards.
Valentines DIY Cards
Before I go any further, I need to let you know that I’m an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. I’m a bit prejudice when it comes to certain craft supplies.
We have a fabulous line up of great products for all occasions, year round including items to make your Valentines DIY cards.
So, on to my cards. I’ve been really busy, so I needed some cards that could be put together in a flash.
I think that this one is perfect for my friends who are into social media who love to celebrate with a Valentines DIY!
Not your typical Valentines Day colors, but I like them. Basic Black, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral and the new Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper Pack.
For a more traditional look.
Isn’t it cute! I used the new Bow Builder Punch. It’s so much fun.
To make the First card, I cut a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 Card stock in half, on the long side. Then I score it at 4 1/4.
I cut “mats” from Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, and Stacked With Love Designers Series Paper . I layered them one on top of the other, with a small accent strip from the same set. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of card stock and then punched it out with the Note Tag Punch.
For a touch of blink, I took a Rhinestone Basic Jewels Embellishment and sponged it with the same ink pad I used for the sentiment.
For the smaller card, I took a sheet from the Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper pad, and scored it in half. I made the bow and attached it with Glue Dots.
It only took me about 5 minutes to make them both.
You certainly don’t have to use Stampin’ Up! products – use what you have on hand along with a bit of imagination.
If you would like to check out all that Stampin’ Up! has to offer, NOW IS THE TIME.

It’s a while since I last made cards. Seeing yours reminded me how fun it is; must make a few soon!
I love making cards. I really like the top one. Definitely super cute!
I love the twitterpated card. That would be for me definitely! So cute!
I love making homemade Valentine’s Cards. There are some really nice things that I can make for Valentine’s day on this post. I will have to check out some of them!
I love making homemade cards and Stampin Up is my favorite place to get supplies. I love the bow card that is super cute!
These Are such great ideas and something different – not the usual cards for Valentine’sDay
I haven’t made any cards for awhile now but like doing this. Thanks for sharing!
The cards are beautiful!
I LOVE the twitterpated one! So cute with how popular twitter is now-a-days!
I love your cards! Giving a special card, or receiving one, makes it much more meaningful just thinking that someone took their time to create it!
I love these cards! Very creative!
So cute! My husband and I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day, but if we did I’d definitely have a go at one of those cards.
I made cards with my grandkids at Christmas time, but I am glad I did not have to send them in the mail. They were heavy!! I think my daughter really appreciated the cards, so we will try again at Valetine’s Day. Thank for sharing your ideas.

Your cards are so pretty. While I love the traditional Valentine’s Day card colors, I also love the cantalope, black and other shades of orange. Thanks for sharing your ideas and the how-to’s.

I love these, too cute. Making things always make it that more special.
I keep saying I want to make my own card, but I never get around to it. Maybe I will this year.
I used to love making my own cards. I haven’t done so in a while. You’ve inspired me though. I love these.
I used to make my own cards all the time…now I rarely do, but seeing your adorable cards makes me want to get started again!
I haven’t made cards in about 40 years. These are much better than any I made.
Libby, these cards are adorable! I’ve always wanted to do things like this but can never find the time! Best wishes with your new project!

I love giving and receiving handmade gifts! Especially for holidays like Valentine’s Day that can be very personal!
A www I love V-D cards, it was fun when in grade school giving and receiving
What cute cards and great inspirations to do for a craft with children or by yourself for loved ones.
I love making my own cards but sometimes its easier to buy them. Lots of times I reuse cards, like I cut the top piece out or the wording inside out ;)Anyway. thanks
Very cute cards! I love the one with the bow!
I think making your own valentines cards are so much cuter. Thanks for the information

I wish I had more time to be crafty. Homemade always says more from the heart, to me. 🙂
I like the social media card – so modern
The Stamped with Love is adorable!
Thanks so much for sharing your cards with all of us! They are really cute! Long time ago, I used to make cards for everyone and as the older I got, the more things happened, making things homemade just got pushed to the back burner. I really love homemade cards. It’s always special when you make someone a card. The feeling is so much more special! Thanks again, for sharing! I think your cards are adorable! Michele 🙂
This are so awesome
I love creating my own cards!
HOMEMADE IS SO MUCH MORE HEART WARMING & MEANINGFUL
These are so cute! I love the top one and the one with the big white bow!
These look nice. My wife has thought about making cards. She does a lot of scrapbooking stuff.
These are so sweet. I hope to get back into scrapbooking and stuff like this, just need to find the time to do it!!
Nice looking cards that add a personal touch
Homemade cards are the best,so much love and devotion put into them.Best keep sake ever!!!!
I really like the heart and bow card. Never to early to start thinking of Valentines Day.
I used to do cards for Christmas. It was a lot of fun making your own to hand out. These are cute. I should think of something to pass out for my sons school.
Oh these are lovely. I’m old school age and well just old school in thinking and I too love to send greeting cards. No one does snail mail old school in cards anymore. I lover to collect vintage cards and send them out but not before I #DIY them in some creative way in a gift made etc. I’ve never stamped them before or got into stamping etc. But this post sure inspires one to try it out. Thank you great post enjoyed
I must really check these out! Lovely! Thanks for sharing!
This is so pretty. I love that you could use for other occassions also. The bow just makes it stand out so much.
