Creating Valentine Cards with Love Notes DSP!

I’ve had so much fun creating with the Love Notes 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper this week 💕 This paper pack is full of sweet patterns and colors that make Valentine crafting easy, fun, and inspiring.

I wanted to show just how versatile this pack really is, so I created a few simple card designs that you can easily make using just one pack of paper. These layouts are perfect for quick Valentine projects — whether you’re making cards for family, friends, classrooms, or customers.

The smaller 6” x 6” size makes it so easy to mix and match patterns without feeling overwhelming, and the designs come together quickly while still looking polished and special.
