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!

Truffle in Wrapper: B01, B05, B06, E44, E47, E49, RV06
Peach Conversation Heart: R30, R32, R35
Blue Conversation Heart: B01, B05, B06
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.

More supplies linked in the supply list at the bottom of this post
The treat bags, pockets, and oven mitts were die cut from Lawn Fawn Let It Shine 12x12 patterned paper using the Mama Elephant Apron Treat Bags Dies. Two cuts are needed for each bag. The die is bigger than a 6x6 patterned paper so I would suggest a 6x8 patterned paper, 12x12 patterned paper, or 8 1/2 x 11 patterned paper or cardstock.
The apron pocket was stamped with a greeting from the Mama Elephant Handcrafted Happiness Stamp Set using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. The pocket was adhered to the front of each apron with double sided adhesive.
The inside of the base is the cream/gold patterned paper.
The Mama Elephant Apron Treat Bags Dies images were die cut from smooth white cardstock and colored in with R32, R35, R29, R46, R39, E55, and E57. Details were added to the images with a white gel pen and adhered to the center of the frame.
Greetings from the Mama Elephant Easy Sentiments Stamps and Dies set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. The phrases were die cut and one strip was adhered to the card with foam adhesive. Hearts from the Mama Elephant Basic Die Collection complete the card.
