This week on my Facebook Live video, I used the free Darling Donkeys stamp set to make three very different cards, including a Valentine and a fun-fold card. It’s such a cute stamp set that I couldn’t resist making another Valentine card with it!
To be honest, I usually don’t send many Valentine’s cards, but with everyone still pretty much staying at home due to the pandemic, I will be sending out more Valentines this year.
With Sale-a-bration in full swing now, the Darling Donkeys stamp set is one of the free products that you can choose to receive with any $50 order. Who can resist these cuties?
If you missed the cards I made on my video, you can watch the replay here.
Besides the Free Darling Donkey stamp set, I also used the free Oh So Ombre Designer Paper to create this card – it is Oh So Pretty! I love how the pretty paper sets off the simple heart designs. Here’s the card – I hope you like it!
Cut Cardstock:
- Card Base: Magenta Madness – 8 1/2″ x5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
- First Layer: Basic White – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
- Second Layer: Oh So Ombre (Rococo Rose) – 5 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ cut one each of the solid and printed
- Scalloped Hearts: Love you Always Foil Sheets (Rococo Rose) – 5 ” x 2 1/4″
- Donkey and Greeting: Scraps of Basic White
Assembly:
 Layer the two pieces of Oh So Ombre DSP side by side onto one 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Attach a length of Blushing Bride Shimmer Ribbon to this piece, covering the seam where the DSP meets.
Punch out two hearts from the Rococo Rose Foil sheet using the scalloped heart punch.
Using Memento ink, stamp the sitting donkey onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock. Use Magenta Madness ink to stamp the tiny heart from the Heartfelt stamp set under the donkey’s ear. Color the donkey with Smoky Slate and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends markers. Stamp the heart outline, greeting, and tiny heart from the Heartfelt stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Magenta Madness ink. Use the heart punch to punch out the donkey’s head and the heart.
Layer the cardstock with the DSP and ribbon onto the card base. Use dimensionals to attach the stamped hearts onto the foil hearts, then use dimensionals to attach these to the center of the card front. Refer to photo for placement. Note- if you prefer to have the stamped hearts flat onto the foil hearts, use multipurpose glue to attach them as any tape runner adhesive usually doesn’t stick well onto foil.
Inside:
For the inside of the card, stamp the sentiment from the Meant To Be stamp set and the tiny hearts from the Heartfelt stamp set onto the remaining piece of Basic White cardstock using Magenta Madness ink. Attach the completed piece to the inside of the card.
Envelope:
Use magenta Madness ink to stamp a couple of tiny hearts to the lower-left corner of the envelope.
