Valentine’s Day cards don’t have to be bold reds and pinks to feel heartfelt. For today’s project, I’ve gone with a soft peach colour palette paired with crisp white and delicate gold accents to create an elegant and romantic You’re In My Heart card. With layers of florals, butterflies, and subtle heart details, this design feels light, feminine, and full of warmth — perfect for Valentine’s Day or any occasion that calls for a little love.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creation.

The Design Inspiration

This card was inspired by gentle spring tones and classic romantic elements. Peach adds a soft glow without overpowering the design, while white keeps everything clean and fresh. Touches of gold bring in just the right amount of luxury and elegance.

Design highlights:

  • Window card design using a raised frame and acetate
  • Peach, white, and gold colour palette
  • Floral clusters for softness and dimension
  • Butterflies for movement and elegance
  • Heart details to reinforce the Valentine’s theme
  • You’re In My Heart sentiment as the focal point

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Create the Card Base
  • Start with a white top-fold card base. Add a peach cardstock panel to the card front. Add a decorative and lacy die cut panel to the front to added a soft and feminine background.
  • Die-Cut the Frame and Create the Window
  • Die cut a frame using a pretty lacy frame, add a gold shadow behind it and then add some acetate behind the frame. Adhere this frame to the card base using using foam adhesive for added dimension. Add a small decorative strip in the centre of the frame.
  • Add the Sentiment
  • Die cut the sentiment out of white and gold cardstocks and stacked them together before adhering them in the centre of the frame. Stacking the sentiment helps make the sentiment more prominent and become the central focus of the card.
  • Add Florals
  • Die cut florals from white cardstock. Colour then with coordinating peach inks and assemble the smaller flowers Arrange them around the window opening, securing some flat and others with foam adhesive to create depth. Die cut some leaves out of white cardstock, colour them with green inks before adding them around the flowers.
  • Layer Butterflies
  • Die cut butterflies using coordinating white, peach and gold card, assemble them and then gently shape the wings. Adhere them around the floral cluster to give the card movement and softness.
  • Add Heart Details
  • Incorporate a small decorative heart below the sentiment over the decorative strip to further re-enforce the Valentine’s Day theme.
  • Finish with Gold Accents
  • Add subtle gold elements to highlight the flowers, butterflies and die cuts and bring an elegant touch to the card.
  • Final Touches
  • Check the balance of the design and add any final embellishments as desired. Here. I have added some pearls to the centres of the flowers and on the frame. I also added some iridescent gems to the butterflies for some extra sparkle.

Final Thoughts


I love how this card turned out — it’s romantic without being over-the-top and feels just as suitable for Valentine’s Day as it does for anniversaries, weddings, or “just because” moments. The peach, white, and gold combination is soft, timeless, and incredibly versatile.

If you’re looking to step away from traditional Valentine’s colours, I highly recommend giving peach a try — it brings such a warm and beautiful glow to handmade cards.

Amazing Paper Grace Adoring You Valentine’s Day Card

Kia ora Koutou

I have another Valentine’s Day card to share with you today. This card is full of sparkles, flowers and hearts with a couple of sweet butterflies for a wonderful romantic card that says I love you so beautifully.  I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Quartet dies to create a beautiful background for the hearts from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – December 2022 Sweetheart Envelope and Notecard and the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – January 2021 Pop Up 3D Vignette Valentine’s Mailbox along with some beautiful peony and butterfly ephemera for an olde worlde/shabby chic feel but with a timeless and elegant look. And I was really happy with the colour combination of white, gold and pink that matched the flowers perfectly while the ivory glitter cardstock had hints of gold to create the overall harmonious effect.  Who wouldn’t want to receive this card on Valentine’s Day?

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

For my project today I have made a top folding 5 7/8″ x 5 7/8″ card out of Pink Sand cardstock. I then layered gold and white cardstock to the front of the card. I die cut the decorative square using the shadow die and the decorative insert dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Quartet dies. I then die cut the four panels using the inner shadow dies and the decorative insert panels and adhered them to the top of the decorative square. I die cut a plain square out of Ivory glitter cardstock and then adhered the decorative square to the front of the glitter card which was then added to the front of the card to make the base for the embellishments.

I die cut two decorative hearts from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – December 2022 Sweetheart Envelope and Notecard – one from white cardstock and one from gold glitter cardstock. I added the white heart over the gold heart with the gold heart slightly offset to show some glitter. This was then added to a white shadow heart and added to the centre of the decorative square using foam tape.

I die cut three ‘Adoring You’ sentiments using the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Adoring Fleurette Card Builder Dies – two from white cardstock and one from gold glitter cardstock. I stacked the three dies together with the gold die slightly offset on top and this was adhered on an angle on the bottom right of the card. 

I stamped the ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ sentiment on white cardstock using Wow embossing ink and heat embossed it with fine line gold embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment out using the tag die from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Adornments Dies and shaped it slightly before adhering the tag to the front of the heart using glue and foam tape slightly on an angle.

I added the pink bow to the top of the tag and then added the flowers and some hearts from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – January 2021 Pop Up 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox made from gold and pink cardstock. I then added a butterfly to the bottom right of the card.

To finish I added some pink jewels to the tag and the card front as shown.
