Whether you’re creating for someone special or just want to brighten someone’s day, today’s card tutorial will guide you in crafting a heartfelt card that’s both versatile and unique. This adorable “Lots of Love” card blends charming details with a clean design, making it a perfect choice for both the guys and gals in your life.

Why You’ll Love Recreating This Project
- Versatile Design: With its neutral tones and sweet pops of color, this card is ideal for any occasion—Valentine’s Day, birthdays, or just to say “I love you.”
- Eye-Catching Techniques: From creating texture with embossing to adding dimension with a popped-up frame, this project is packed with fun techniques that take your cardmaking to the next level.
- Customizable Elements: Learn how to mix and match colors, textures, and sentiments to make this card uniquely yours.
- Stress-Free Crafting: I’ve broken down each step in an easy-to-follow video tutorial so you can create confidently, even if you’re a beginner.

Project Highlights
This card starts with a clean and classic white base, featuring subtle scored details for added elegance. The frame layer adds dimension, and the textured pylons bring a playful, nautical vibe. The focal point? Two adorable seagulls perched on pylons, surrounded by a bold Flirty Flamingo heart that ties everything together with warmth and charm.
The sentiment, heat-embossed on the heart, adds a polished touch that’s easy to replicate. Finally, the project is finished with gold adhesive-backed hearts and a delicate twine bow for a pop of shine and texture.
