Bighearted Bears Love-Themed Valentine's Day Cards with Mendi

Hello there! This is Mendi popping in to share some love-themed Valentine's Day cards featuring our adorable Bighearted Bears Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Bighearted Bears Stamps, I lined up four of the panda bears holding Valentines and gifts. As a backdrop, I inked up a cardstock panel using the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils with Candied Apple Distress ink. I layered that with an elongated Rounded Rectangle Mat Die, which I ran through my die-cutting machine twice so that I could have it bleed off the top of my card. I cut our Stitched Heart 2 Dies from masking material to use as a stencil to ink a heart onto my background with Worn Lipstick and Candied Apple Distress ink. I heat-embossed the word "love" onto the heart's center using the Love & Light Stamps and strung the banners from the Panda Party Stamps. I also heat-embossed a punny greeting on a shortened black Slimline Pennant Die by mixing words from the Bighearted Bears and Panda Party Stamps. I love how it all came together with the red, black, & white color scheme!

For my second card today, I used the Bighearted Bears Stamps to create a town scene with the pandas riding a bike, a mailbox, and the panda holding a balloon bouquet. For my scene's backdrop, I used the three buildings from the City Streets Stamps and the tree from the Happy Home Stamps. I masked off each building with hand-cut masks to ink my sky with Broken China Distress ink and then inked the pavement with Black Soot Distress ink. Lastly, I heat-embossed a punny sentiment from the Bighearted Bears set in the bottom, right corner.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. Also, since this is my last post before Christmas, I wanted to wish you a very merry Christmas with your family and friends. May your day be cozy, relaxing, and surrounded by those you love.❤️
