Long slim Valentine card

A long slim Valentine card made with the Sweet Conversations bundle. It wasn’t on my radar at first, but now I’ve got it, I LOVE it!

Those hearts with the words on it remind me of the Sweethearts candy which are also known as conversation hearts! Stampin’ Up! have called their stamp set “Sweet Conversations” so was that a cooincidence, or by design, I wonder!

Now that Stampin’ Up! supply the long, slim envelops, I’ll be making a lot more long, slim cards!

The inside of the card was partially embossed and I added a strip of Blushing Bride to hide the start of the embossed section.

Gingham embossing folder

You’re probably wondering how I managed to emboss the front of the card when it’s clearly a lot longer than the length of the embossing folder! It’s simply matching up the grooves and strategic placing of the top embossing plate so that it doesn’t mark the card stock.
