The Mini Cut & Emboss Machine can do all the die cutting and embossing for these sweet cards. 

*Note: If you want to emboss the envelopes, you will need the standard size Cut & Emboss machine because envelopes will not fit in the Mini  machine. 

Make the Set!

The In Symmetry stamp set isn’t a Valentine’s set, but I just think the sentiments work perfectly for friendship Valentine’s cards.   

Easily Customizable

Choose your accent color and the occasion and this card is perfect for your mom, sister, or friend with plenty of girly frills!  For a more neutral card, instead of die cutting the sentiments and inside, cut them into straight edged rectangles.

From top to bottom: Blushing Bride, Highland Heather, Real Red with Blushing Bride Hearts

To make the birthday and thank you cards, I added in the sentiments from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set.

From top to bottom: So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Mint Macaron.

Don't Forget to Decorate the Envelopes

You can even emboss the envelope flap!  Note: You need the standard size Cut & Emboss machine to emboss envelopes as the mini is too small.
