January 2024 Add-On Cards:
This month’s Add-On Collection is just wonderful! You can see the entire collection HERE. I have two Add-On cards that I wanted to share today.
Love You So Much Die Cut Valentine

The instant I saw this Love You So Much cover die, I knew I wanted to do layers of rainbow color for each band. If you wanted to mass produce cards you could easily change up the color order and do 7+ cards in no time. I used Coral, Peacock, Paradise, Kiwi, Canary, Papaya, Amethyst and Passion Flower cardstock.

Products Used:
- DF188 Love You So Much Cover Plate
- Coral Cardstock
- Peacock Cardstock
- Paradise Cardstock
- Kiwi Cardstock
- Canary Cardstock
- Papaya Cardstock
- Amethyst Cardstock
- Passion Flower Cardstock
- Dove White Cardstock
- A2 Top Fold Card Base
Valentine Wreath in Scandinavian Blue

This Valentine Wreath die is SO beautiful! It has the simple yet elegant look of Letter Press and I thought it would be quite striking with a fresh bright blue and clean white color palette. I stamped the wreath with Indigo Core Ink and then die cut the wreath, an extra floral cluster (which I added to the bottom of the wreath) and the sentiment. I cut down an A2 Top Folding Card Base to 4 1/4 x 4 1/4″ and adhered my die cuts with foam adhesive squares.

Products Used:
- SB397 Valentine Wreath Stamp and Die Bundle
- CM753 Valentine Wreath Stamp
- Indigo Core Ink
- Dove White Cardstock (stamped panel)
- A2 Top Fold Card (which I cut down to 4 1/4 x 4 1/4″)
- Metal Wire Snippers
