Hello friends. I'm so glad you're here! Today I'm sharing this fussy cut Valentine's card and matching envelope using components from the Simon Says Stamp February 2021 Card Kit, Love You Beary Much. In the video below I'm sharing how to create a custom text background with a border stamp and a MISTI, how to eliminate messy edges from fussy cutting with a black marker, adding a bold stamped and embossed sentiment over a stamped background and more. Keep reading and/or watch the video tutorial for all the details.
*Note: Most of the products I'm using are also available for individual purchase if you don't want to purchase a kit. Yay!

Simon Says Stamp Surf Blue Cardstock (included in the kit) was trimmed to 3 3/4" x 5" and stamped with Simon Says Stamp Surf Blue Ink for a tone-on-tone look. The "love" sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Love You Beary Much 6"x8" Stamp Set (included in the kit) was stamped over the text background with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Gina K Red Hot Embossing Powder. A Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Reverse Love phrase was trimmed and adhered below the "love" using foam adhesive.
Images from the Simon Says Stamp Love You Beary Much 6"x8" Stamp Set (included in the kit) and Simon Says Stamp Sweet Truffles 3"x4" Stamp Set (included in the kit) were stamped on smooth white cardstock (included in the kit) with Hero Arts Intens-ified Ink and colored in with the following Copic Markers:
- Heart Speech Bubble: R30, R32, R35, R46
- Bear: E40, E43, E44, E47, R00
- Truffle in Wrapper: B01, B05, B06, E44, E47, E49, RV06
- Peach Conversation Heart: R30, R32, R35

- Pink Conversation Heart: RV00, RV13, RV14
- Truffle With Heart: R30, R32, RV06, E44, E47, E49
The heart was left uncolored and the image was stamped again on a Simple Stories Sweet Talk 6"x8" Patterned Paper (included in the kit) and all the images were fussy cut with scissors. The edges were colored with the brush tip of the fussy cut images with the N10 marker. This eliminates the ugly white edge. The images were adhered to the card as shown.
The conversation hearts were customized with phrases from the Simon Says Stamp Love You Beary Much 6"x8" Stamp Set and another phrase from the stamp set was stamped on the patterned paper heart with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
Glossy Accents was applied to the heart on the speech bubble and nose on the bear. Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard was applied to the heart on the truffle. White pen detail was added to the images as well.
For the envelope, I used the Simon Says Stamp Metallic Cotton Candy Envelope (included in the kit) and stamped the bear and heart images from the Simon Says Stamp Love You Beary Much 6"x8" Stamp Set with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Gina K Red Hot Embossing Powder.
An envelope liner was die cut from Simple Stories Sweet Talk 6"x8" Patterned Paper (included in the kit) using the Simon Says Stamp Envelope Liner Die.
