This sweet Valentine card looks fancy at first glance, but the fold itself is surprisingly simple. It’s one of those easy folds that gives big impact without complicated scoring or tricky steps. The split panels on the front open to reveal a layered heart design that feels special and interactive, making it perfect for Valentine’s Day or anytime you want to send a little love. Add some pretty patterned paper, a focal die-cut, and a simple ribbon, and you’ve got a card that looks like it took way more effort than it actually did.

A quick heads-up if you’re eyeing the products used on today’s cards. The Designer Series Paper will be available starting January 19, and the stamp set follows on January 26. There’s still plenty of time to create Valentine cards, but a little planning can help avoid last-minute frustration.

If you’d like a reminder when something comes back in stock, you have two easy options"

1. You can reply to this email and I’ll happily let you know when it’s available.
2.  OR you can head to the online store and add your email to the back-in-stock alert on the product page.

One important thing to keep in mind is that Stampin’ Up! no longer allows backorders. This change helps manage expectations around delivery times and also keeps shipping costs lower. Shipping costs have increased over the years, but Stampin’ Up! has worked hard to hold prices steady for us. The trade-off is that items must be in stock before they can be ordered. Once a product is available again, you can place your order as usual.

This is especially important for seasonal items, which can sell out quickly and may take time to restock. It’s also something to think about as you plan ahead for spring and Easter projects. If you know you’ll want those items, ordering earlier rather than later is always a good idea.

The same goes for Product of the Month items. Ordering early in the month gives you the best chance of getting exactly what you want before inventory runs low.

If you ever have questions about timing, availability, or planning ahead, I’m always happy to help.

This week’s card sketch is one of those back-pocket layouts you’ll reach for again and again. The design is intentionally simple, with just a few key elements that do all the work for you. While I’ve shown it here with a heart for a Valentine feel, this sketch is incredibly easy to adapt. Swap the heart for a flower, a butterfly, a focal sentiment, or even a small image, and it instantly works for birthdays, thank-you cards, or everyday happy mail. Same sketch, endless possibilities.
