Coupon Code & DIY Valentine's Day Cards from Martha Stewart Crafts

Valentine's Day is only a month away!  It's time to get crackin' and whip up some handmade cards.  I always think these are the best way to let your sweetheart and favorite people know how much you're thinking of them.  To make your cards very special and personal I've got some ways to help you unleash your inner cupid that are as easy as 1-2-3 when you've got help from Martha Stewart Crafts!
{1} To express your heart’s desire, start with the utterly charming Martha Stewart Crafts “Stamp Card and Envelope Set” – it includes 18 scalloped edge note cards and matching envelopes with heart-accented labels so you can share your love with everyone you wish.

These cute itty bitty cards are just 3.275in x 2.275in, with envelopes that are 3.4in x 2.5 in, making them perfect for class Valentines.  I love the peek-a-boo envelopes and sweet details!  I actually got a card made by my friend Jennifer Wilson from Simple Scrapper last year.  It was so cute I've kept it!
{2} Add your personal stamp with the “Wood Stamp Valentine’s Day Hearts” set of 12 mini stamps nestled in a reusable wood crate.  

These are just darling and sized perfectly for the card and envelope set.  Their small size makes them perfect for little hands and easy to store.  My favorite one has the teeny tiny hearts on it, those would look great and really stand out with when stamped and embossed.   This set of Pastel Embossing Powders would work perfectly.
{3} Seal with a kiss…and with “Valentine Cupid” and “Valentine Cupcake” stickers. Yummy confections, cherub silhouettes, hearts and more Valentine icons shine with glitter and foil accents. 

These cupid themed stickers feature iconic symbols of the holiday and any leftover pieces would look great on scrapbook pages and on your Project Life pages.  Their size is perfect for adding onto your 3X4 journaling cards or to create your own decorative filler cards.  Plus arrows are really on trend for all things scrappy.

I bought this Heart Stamp and Ink Set last year.  It was a great price for a set of stamps and inks! I'm planning to use it to get started on my cards soon.  I love clear stamps because I'm not the best stamper and it's a whole lot easier to position everything perfectly with them.  I use it with the Small Stamp Mount with Foam, which is also very helpful for beginner stampers.  It helps me get the right amount of pressure for perfect results.

How about you?  What type of crafty fun are you planning to pick up?  What are you planning on creating for Valentine's Day?
