Sweet Bugs Valentine

Make a Valentine using the Sweet Bugs bundle! The die cut mushrooms provide a little shelter for the ‘love bugs’. I used an older embossing folder but there is a new folder called Hearts of Love 3D which would work just as well.

I used Pretty in Pink cardstock for the 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ base, scored at 4 1/4″

First layer is Melon Mambo, 4 5/8″ x  3 3/8″.

Second layer is Basic White, 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″, embossed with the Falling Petals folder and gently brushed with Pretty in Pink ink.

I dies cut the mushroom stems and tiny snails from Basic Beige and the Mushroom caps from Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade, Pretty in Pink, Bubble Bath  and Berry Burst. After adhering the caps to the stems, I brushed the caps with Wink of Stella to give them a little glimmer.

The leaf stems are cropped from Old Olive cardstock and the tiny leaf clusters are from Mossy Meadow cardstock.

After arranging and adhering the mushrooms, leaf stems, leaf clusters and snails to the card front, I fussy cut the sweet bugs from the Cute As A Bug DSP and attached them with dimensionals.

Add a greeting of your choice with Memento ink.

For the inside, I used the tiny hearts die to crop a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, then stamped a sentiment with Memento ink.

The products I used for this card are listed below. The embossing folder, Falling Petals, is retired and no longer available.
