DIY Valentine Tulip Card

There’s something special about a vase of pink and red tulips.

They’re cheerful, vibrant, and the perfect Spring or Valentine’s Day gift.

Who really needs roses anyway? 🌷

This DIY Valentine Tulip Card captures all that charm using

Eileen Hull’s Windowsill Flowers and Vase* by Sizzix.

It’s a beautiful way to send love without the wilting flowers.

To make the Valentine Tulip Card.

Prepare the Paper: Before die-cutting, run your paper through the Xyron Sticker Maker* to add a complete layer of adhesive to the back. This makes assembly so much easier!
Die-cut all the pieces: Using the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and Eileen Hull’s Dies, cut out all the pieces for your card.
Add Depth with Ink: Ink the small die-cut pieces with Tim Holtz Distress Inks*. This adds beautiful depth and richness while covering the white core of the paper.

Add Gold Accents: Use the Gold Chisel Point Calligraphy Pen* to add gold edging around the vase and cardstock layers.
Floral Swag: Create a small floral swag using the leafy dies from the Home Sweet Home die set. Attach a small red twine bow to the center of the swag.

Your cheerful Valentine tulip card is complete—no watering required!

DIY Valentine’s Day Tic-Tac-Toe Card Tutorial:

Using plain decorative scrapbook paper, cut a 4 3/8″ x 4 3/8″ square layer.
Cut nine 1 ¼” squares from two different coordinating scrapbook papers.
Adhere the 9 squares onto the layer, leaving even spacing between the squares.

Using the “Heart Tic Tac Toe” SVG file from the Silhouette Store, cut out the hearts, “X’s,” and “O’s” using Dark Red and Gold craft vinyl from StyleTechCraft. (Option: If you don’t have access to vinyl and an electronic die-cutting machine, you can use Valentine and Heart Stickers.)
Use StyleTechCraft’s transfer tape to add the hearts and “X’s” and “O’s” to the center of each mini square.
Add a thin gold border around the 4 3/8″ layer using a gold calligraphy pen. If you like the look of a “quilted card,” use a thin marker to add small lines in and around the small squares.
Adhere the layered tic tac toe design onto a 4 5/8″ decorative layer and onto a 5″ x 5″ cream card base.
