Clean and Simple Valentines

Hi, Lawnscapers! It's Suzanne from the Facebook Inspiration Team and I'm sharing some clean and simple-style Valentine's Day cards today! 

I started with this full-sized card that I made with Lawn Fawn's Milk and Cookies stamp set:

This inspired me to create mini valentine cards in the same style:

After making the first one with the Whale You Be Mine set, I made a few more with the My Silly Valentine stamp set and some Let's Polka paper:

After coloring the images, I finished each card by flipping it over and stamping the sentiment on the back. All that's left is to write in the names and to give the card to someone special!

(Each mini card measures 3 inches by 4 inches, compared to the larger card, which measures 4.25 inches by 5.5 inches.) The mini cards are also a great size for pocket-style scrapbooking!

Don't forget, you still have time to join in the current Lawnscaping challenge: "Clean and Simple"! Click HERE to go directly to the challenge post and link up your entry!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful week! -- Suzanne
