Be Mine Ladybugs
Hi friends! Christina here to share a darling Valentine’s Day card with you featuring two new stamp sets from the latest release. I used the Lovely Ladybugs and Valentine Word Scenes stamp sets to create this super cute design. I colored the images in a simple color palette of watermelon, minty green, and charcoal gray and placed them on a dainty Layered Heart Lattice background. Take a peek at my supply list, and then we’ll get started!

I started my card design by stamping the Lovely Ladybug images and the Valentine Word Scenes with black ink on white cardstock. Then I colored all the images with Copic markers W3, W7, RV14, and BG34. I used the coordinating dies to die-cut the images and did a little fussy cutting on the “Be Mine” word scene to separate them so I could stack them on my card front to better fit my design layout.
My next step was to stencil the Heart Lattice pattern on a Pinking Rectangle panel with minty green ink. Then I layered this panel onto a coordinating minty green cardstock and finished with a charcoal gray Scallop Frame. I centered everything on a side-fold card base, giving the design a thin white border.
To bring the design together, I attached all the colored and die-cut images onto the lattice panel. I placed the word scenes first and then added the ladybugs flitting around the words and popped in a few heart icons. My last step was to add a Valentine Banner Greeting heat-embossed on minty green cardstock.
Thank you for checking out my Valentine’s Day card featuring some of the darling new products from the latest release. Have a lovely day!
