Mon Amour

Hi Lynn here - with some quick, last minute Valentine cards. Using just four sheets of paper from Graphic 45's Mon Amour collection, I created all these cards and a tag, with papers to spare. These cards would also be good for birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and weddings.


I chose Dearest Darling, One and Only, Heart's Desire and My Beloved papers from The Mon Amour collection. I added in some Bazzill cardstock in black, white, cream, green and two shades of pink.

I turned this tag into a card:


and another one made from some left overs:



Most of the Graphic 45 collections lend themselves to making cards due to the printed images and matching background patterned papers.


Take a look at the Papermaze website to view various collections.

Thanks for looking.
