simple DIY graphic valentines using digital stamps

I had the best time last week making simple Valentine's cards using my digital stamps. I'm not sure if you've noticed but LOVE is a big theme of these digital stamps. Which meant coming up with some sweet card concepts was way too easy.

I recorded a ten-minute video (you can watch above or click to see it larger!) that shares exactly how to make the six cards designs shown using PSE and my digital stamp set.

These techniques are versatile (meaning they can be applied to so much more than Valentines) and will hopefully help you get more mileage out of the stamps.

I printed the folded cards two to a page on white lightly textured cardstock (using my everyday printer) then cropped them down to 5×7 to fold in half. I'll be mailing them out to friends in red and kraft envelopes.

    These are adorable! I love them. Also, thank you so much for making the video on digital stamps. Before your video I was completely lost on how to utilize them, even though it seemed like everyone and their mother were using them.
    Question: do you just print these out on your color printer at home?

    Love love love these! I’m imagining all the card making possibilities! I would love a monthly (or quarterly, whichever) series where you show us different ways to use these stamps. I hope you consider the idea 🙂

    You mentioned in the podcast that you did an IG post about others to follow since you don’t share much scrapbooking anymore – I must have missed it. Any chance you could do a blog post with suggestions too? I’m always looking for new inspiring people to add to my list of creatives to follow 🙂

    That was a great episode but I would just like to say, I’m grateful you share a portion of your life with others. As a new working mother who is trying to juggle everything and remain authentic and passionate, it is really inspiring. Also check out the #womenirl hashtag. It’s good to see the person and not just the finished product!! Lastly, I loved “good for you, not for me” – similar to YMMV I think 🙂
