Notebook-Inspired Valentine’s Day Cards: Yippee for Yana
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!
Today I am creating Valentine’s Day cards with the Simon Says Stamp Mixed Labels and Love Word Mix 2 stamp sets. I wanted to create simple Valentines that would look like notebooks.
I started working on my cards by stamping a label from the Mixed Labels set in Latte ink onto Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock. Next, I added a Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment from the Love Notes set stamped in black ink and embossed in clear embossing powder for a shiny finish. I used a coordinating label die and die-cut the labels out.
I also heat embossed “I Adore You” in detail white embossing powder on Schoolhouse Red cardstock and cut it out using not a coordinating die, but one that makes a banner, also from the Word Mix 2 die set.
To make a background, I dry embossed a sheet of pink cardstock (I used Hero Arts Peony and Simon Says Stamp Cotton Candy) using Simon Says Stamp Swiss Dot embossing folder. I foam-mounted the embossed panel onto the A2 card base and foam-mounted my label with the red bookmark-like banner on top.
Lastly, I embellished my cards with cute clay hearts! I think I’m all set for Valentine’s Day! Have fun stamping!

Love your sweet clean and simple card! The use of latte ink was perfect and the little red banner really helped pull it all together. Never thought about coloring my clay hearts. Nice to know that’s an option. Thanks for sharing!
These are so sweet and pretty
I Love your “notebooks”!!! Soooo Adorable!!
