Hello Crafty Friends! Catherine here, a sweet ladybug-themed Valentine using the new Ladybug Shaker from the latest release. I’ll admit, I’m not a bug person but this little bug is so adorable and completely won me over!

I started by die cutting an eyelet background using the largest die from Eyelet Rectangles out of white cardstock. Next, I created a soft ladybug background with the Layered Ladybugs Stencil blending Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar Distress Oxides. For a little extra sparkle, I added glitter to the lady bugs. I trimmed the panel to fit inside the Eyelet Rectangle and adhered it with foam tape for dimension.

To create the shaker, I ink blended Festive Berries, Kitsch Flamingo, and Spun Sugar onto white cardstock for an ombré effect, then die cut the Ladybug Shaker frame. I die cut a second frame from double-sided foam sheet.

I die cut two labybug bases, one from acetate and the other from white cardstock. I lightly inked the white cardstock with Spun Sugar. I assembled the shaker by adhering the acetate to the back of the frame, adding foam layer, sprinkling in shaker elements, and sealing it with the ladybug shaker frame over top. 

Once assembled, I adhered the shaker to the card front. I stamped the sentiment in red ink and die cut it with the coordinating die, added pink heart trails, and finished the card with a pink border.

Hi friends, it’s Christina! Today I’m sharing a card featuring the Build a Heart die set. This set is perfect if you like to customize your projects because it includes a ton of decorative embellishments so you can create the perfect heart for your Valentine! Plus, it pairs beautifully with many of the new Valentine’s Day-themed goodies from the latest release. Take a peek at my supplies, and then we’ll get started!

Build A Heart Dies
Pinking Rectangles Dies
Banner Greetings 2 Dies
Love Words Stencil

For this project, my first step was to build my hearts. I started by die-cutting the base hearts (there are four hearts to choose from) from a perfectly peachy patterned paper and then embellished the hearts with a simple white dotted trim that I repeated along some of the stitching details. The finishing touch was to add small cherry red hearts across the top portion of the hearts. I love pairing peach and red for Valentine’s Day!

My next step was to create the stenciled panel that is directly behind the hearts. First I die-cut a large Pinking Rectangle panel from white cardstock. Then I masked the pinked edges with low-tack tape and stenciled the Love Words across the center of the panel with cherry red ink. I removed the tape and layered this panel with a cherry red cardstock panel, slightly offset, and a peachy striped panel that coordinates with the peachy hearts. With the background and base of the card design done, I moved on to wrapping things up.

Before attaching the hearts to the stenciled panel, I decided to add a smaller Pinking Rectangle, slightly offset, to soften the stenciled panel a bit so the hearts weren’t competing so much with the words. My last step was to add cherry red banners embellished with small sentiments that are included in the Build A Heart set across the bottom portion of both hearts. Pop this onto an A2 cardbase and you’re done!

Hi friends! Sophie here and I am thrilled for Day 2 of Valentine Theme week!

I wanted to feature one of my favorite Valentine products of all time – the Valentine Ghost Friends set from last year’s release! These little ghosts are just the cutest and I love that they add an unexpected fun twist on the traditional Valentine’s theme. 

For my card I went to one of my all time most favorite die sets – the Scallop Box Card die to create a fun interactive card base. I then added a little trio of ghosts. For the one ghost up front I thought it would be cute to have her holding an oversized banner. I created the banner pole using the stick from the Valentine Cake Pop die set. For the banner I used a sentiment from the new Valentine Banner Greetings stamp set cut out with the Banner Greetings 2 die set. 

For the additional sentiment on the card base I used the previously released Valentine Greetings stamp and coordinating die set. I heat embossed this sentiment in white on red card stock and popped it up for a bit of dimension and to help it stand out.

Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today. Happy Valentine Theme Week! I have two cards to share with you featuring the adorable Valentine Circles and Valentine Greetings sets. I love how versatile these two sets are. With the exception of the two sentiments that specifically say “Valentine”, these sets can be used just about any time of the year to send some love. So let’s get started.

For both cards, I stamped the images from the Valentine Circles stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the Valentine Circles Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen. 

COPIC COLORS:
Skin: E000/00/21/11/93
Hair: E50/51/53/33Light pink: RV10/21Dark Pink: RV10/21/13/14/29White: C0/1/3Green: YG01/03Blue: BG000
Frosting/Sprinkles: E41/81, RV14

For the background, I stamped several of the sentiments from the Valentine Greetings stamp set onto a piece of pink cardstock with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink. I adhered the colored images to the panel with liquid glue.

I used the Love You Shadow Dies to diecut the “love” and shadow out of red cardstock and vellum. I adhered the two together and then onto the panel with liquid glue. The panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25” x 5.5”) and finished with a few tiny hearts diecut with the die from the Box of Chocolates Dies. 

For the second card, I created the background by using the Simple Strips Dies to diecut several strips of red, pink and blue cardstock and adhering them to a piece of white cardstock. I stamped the “Wild About You” sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Valentine stamp set directly onto the panel with Versafine Onyx Black ink. 

COPIC COLORS:Monkeys: E000/00/21/11/93, E33/99/35/37Pink: RV10/21Red: R14/24/29Blue: BG000/BG01

I stamped the “Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment from the Valentine Greetings set with Versafine Satin Red ink and used the Valentine Greetings coordinating dies to diecut it out. Foam tape was used to adhere the sentiment to a white circle die cut with the Valentine Circles Dies. The circle was adhered to the striped panel with liquid glue. 

The colored images were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25” x 5.5”) and finished with a few sequins from the Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

Hey everyone, it’s Sophie. Today I’m sharing one of my favourite cards that I made with some of the goodies in the January release.

To start with I cut a panel of white cardstock and stencilled the background using the Layered Ladybugs Stencil in a variety of shades of pink. I wanted to add some subtle colour differences to the ladybugs so I used two different inks for their wings and then a very pale pink surrounding them. Ink blending the pale pink ink created a softer contrast than leaving the background white. You could also stencil directly onto coloured paper for a fun effect. I then cut a strip from the panel which was about ⅓ the width of the card base I would use. I used the leftover panel for a separate card – 2 cards made from 1 stencilled background!

For my stencilled panel to sit on, I cut out a rectangle of pink paper that was a similar shade and adhered the ladybug panel to the left. This created a decorative border effect. 

Next, I cut out the Love You Shadow Dies from white and pink cardstock. Once I had adhered the sentiment to its shadow I traced over the words with glitter glue for a beautiful sparkling effect.

For the centrepiece of the card I stamped images from the Lovely Ladybugs stamp set, Hummingbird Floral stamp set and the Valentines Tags stamp set. In keeping with the theme of the card I used shades of pink and coordinating lilacs for the ladybugs and flowers, while the green foliage really gives a pop of contrasting colour.

For a final touch of sparkle I added more glitter glue to the flowers, ladybugs and the heart shaped box. 

I hope my card has inspired you and I can’t wait to see what everyone else makes with these stamps!

Happy crafting everyone!

Hello everyone, it’s June! I’m back again with another card featuring ladybugs, this time not the shaker like last time, but the new Lovely Ladybugs stamp set.

I wanted to use another product from the new release as a center piece: the Heart Card Base. It doesn’t have to be used as a standalone card base, it can also be a fun interactive element on a regular A2 card. I cut it out twice so I could stack them together, that way I could add a different color on the inside and still have the pretty side of the die cut visible. I used 2 shades of beige for the outside and added brown ink splatters, and for the inside I did just red ink splatters on a white base. I cut the inside heart from beige cardstock aswel and also added the splatters. For the border around it, I masked off the flaps and used the Candy Cane Stripes stencil to create a fun pink stripe. 

To decorate my heart card, I added ladybugs and trails from the Lovely Ladybugs set and also used the ‘Bugs and Kisses’ sentiment that’s included to create a little tab to grab onto. I sprinkled some flowers from the Friend Greetings stamp set around the card as well. I stamped all of the images in brown ink (except for the sentiment) so it would look a bit softer. I positioned them on the inside in a way that would leave a bit of room to write a message.

For the background, I blended a very soft shade of pink and used the Line Bursts stencil to create a tone-on-tone background. I also added some pink ink splatters. It’s all very subtle, but it adds a lot of texture. I also cut a frame from brown cardstock using the Wonky Stitched Rectangles and layered that on top.

I adhered my heart card base onto an Eyelet Oval and added that on top of my background. To finish it off, I used the brown ink again to stamp more flowers and vines from the Friend Greetings stamp set to create a border on the top and bottom of my card. I love how the brown ink, soft colors and florals made it look a bit vintage-y! 

And that’s it for now! I hope everyone has been enjoying seeing what the Design Team has created for this release. See you again soon with another blog post, bye!

Hello everyone! Melissa here with you today and I’ve got a sweet Hugs & Kisses card to share with you…just in time for Valentine’s Day.  

I love starting my cards with stencils and Pretty Pink Posh has the most creative selection!  I used the Layered Heart Lattice Stencils to create my background. I then added a couple of die cut Scallop Flag Tags and layered using dimensional adhesive.  I stamped my sentiment using a sentiment from the Decorative Hearts stamp set.  

Now comes the fun part…adding delightful embellishments to dress up my card.  I used the darling, new Valentine Word Scenes stamps and dies to add “Hugs” across the bottom, using my Copic Markers and Crystal Stickles glitter to bring in a bit of shimmer.

I added a trio of layered hearts using the Stitched Hearts Dies, beginning with a vellum layer and ending with a red patterned paper heart. Lastly, I used florals from the Valentine Holder Additions dies and the Big Valentine Cupcake die. They make the perfect, sweet addition.

It’s been such a treat to create for you today.  Happy Valentine crafting!

Hello crafty friends! Rachel here with a festive card featuring the new Lucky Animals Stamp Set.

I absolutely love this set! It’s filled with so many cute critters that pair well with many of the products from the new release. I paired this set with the Lucky to Know You Stamp Set and Lucky to Know You Coordinating Dies.

To start my card, I first stamped my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored them with Copic markers and cut them out with the Lucky Animals Coordinating Dies. For my background, I trimmed a piece of green card stock to 4.25” x 5.5” and layered it with a 4” x 5.25” piece of white card stock as well as a 3.75” x 5” piece of smooth white card stock that I had blended with Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink.

I stamped part of my sentiment and heat embossed the word “Lucky” onto a strip of green card stock with Fine Detail White Embossing Ink.  Lastly, I adhered my images to my card front with 3D foam adhesive tape for a pop of dimension.

I hope you enjoyed my card today!  Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. Wishing you all a lovely day!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, how exciting it is to be back with this shaker card showcasing items from the January 2026 release, including the amazing Xoxo Shaker die. I love shaker cards, they’re just so easy to put together, and they’re even funnier to build when Pretty Pink Posh has such an amazing shaker dies collection and the most beautiful shaker accessories ever. Speaking of which, the Love Is Kind shaker beads color palette is my favorite when it comes to Valentine cards, so I was very excited to create this Xoxo Shaker card.

I started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of aqua cardstock and added a cute pattern to it using the Layered Heart Lattice stencils along with distress inks: candied apple for the hearts and peacock feathers for the stitched details. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters to my panel, and then did the same with peacock feathers distress ink. Next I cut another panel out of turquoise cardstock using the largest Pinking Rectangle die, added a word pattern to it using the Love Words stencil along with peacock feathers distress ink, mixed liquid stardust droplets with water, added sparkling splatters to my panel and then white splatters as well. Once dry, I attached my Pinking Rectangle panel to the Layered Heart Lattice panel using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck the whole thing to a matching card base.

Next I worked on my Xoxo Shaker following those steps:

1. I cut an Xoxo Shaker frame out of red cardstock using both dies from the set,
2. I cut a whole Xoxo Shaker panel out of acetate and stuck it at the back of the red frame using liquid glue,
3. Still at the back of the frame, I attached foam strips all around it, following the curves,
4. I poured Love Is Kind shaker beads and Sweet Xoxo confetti inside each letter,
5. I cut another whole Xoxo Shaker panel out of pink cardstock, added white splatters to it, and once dry, attached it to the foam strips to close my shaker.

I cut a large Eyelet Circle out of pearlescent vellum, attached my Xoxo Shaker to it using 1mm foam squares, and then attached the vellum circle to my card using foam squares again. As an extra greeting, I white heat embossed “You’re a sweetheart” from Valentine Banner Greetings on aqua cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greetings 2 die, and attached that banner on my Xoxo Shaker using a bit of liquid glue behind the fishtail ends.

And that’s it! I hope that this shaker card has inspired you to maybe recreate it or create your own with a different color palette. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
