Hello friends! This is Mindy and I’m back with inspiration using the Valentine Ghosts. I think this is such a fun and unique way to decorate Valentine’s Day cards and projects.
Hi friends! Christina here to share the cutest Valentine shaker card showcasing the new Double Heart Shaker from the latest Valentine release. This release is amazing and has everything you need to get started on making the sweetest, most adorable Valentine creations just like this one! Follow along below with the steps to creating this shaker card.
My first step was to die cut two Eyelet Rectangle panels from kraft cardstock. I set one panel aside to be the base of the shaker. The other panel will be our card front, and I die cut this with the inner pieces of the Double Heart to be the shaker windows, using the outside frame die as a template for their placement.
Next I die cut the elements for the Double Heart from white and red cardstock and created one heart of each color. I attached this double heart to the first Eyelet Rectangle panel we set aside to be the base, using the second panel with the shaker windows as a template for their placement. Now the base has the double heart in place and perfectly aligned to be the background of the shaker windows.
For some texture and interest, I added a text background to the first panel, our card front. To do this, I die cut the “Love” and “XOXO” from the new Valentine Holder Additions set from kraft cardstock multiple times and attached them across the panel, trimming them to fit within the stitched border and where they overhung the shaker windows. Then I added little die cut hearts in between each word and a few white clay confetti pieces from the Bright Rainbow Clay Mix.
On the reverse side of the card front panel, I attached a piece of acetate over the shaker windows and then foam strips around the window opening to create a well for the Love Shaker Beads. Still on the reverse side of the card front, I added foam tape to the rest of the panel and then attached the base panel, ensuring the double hearts were properly aligned with the shaker windows.
To finish things up, I die cut the Double Heart Shaker again from red and white cardstock to get the pieces to frame the shaker windows on the card front. Lastly, I added a sentiment from the Valentine Greetings stamp set, die cutting it with the coordinating dies, and attaching it with foam squares.
Thanks so much for following along with this super cute Valentine shaker card. I hope you’re inspired to start creating Valentines for your Valentine!
Hello crafty friends, it’s Barbara! I am happy to share a project using the new Valentine Cake Pop diesfrom the Pretty Pink Posh Valentine release.
I made this card using smooth white cardstock to create a top folding A2 size card base. I then trimmed down a piece of pattern paper I had in my stash to leave a bit of a white border.
Next, I die cut a few of the images from the Valentine Cake Pops die set. I cut them from scraps of red, pink, brown and white cardstock and assembled them together using liquid glue. I adhered them to the card with foam squares for dimension. Last, I stamped and die cut the sentiment (from the Sweet Chocolate set) for the finishing touch.
I hope you enjoyed this project and got some inspiration. This new release is so fun to use!
Hello everyone! Leanne here to share a fun Valentine’s shaker card featuring some adorable ghost images from the Valentine Ghost Friends stamp set. I was thrilled when I saw this cute stamp set because I have always loved adding ghosts to Halloween cards. Now I can use them for Valentine projects too! On an A2 size card I have created a large shaker element with the ghosts flying around it.
This shaker design is so easy to make with the Love Word Shaker dies. I die cut the love word window opening into a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of kraft card stock. I took a clear cello bag that was slightly larger than the love word and filled it with Sweetheart Shaker Beads.
Here are the Copics I used to color the ghosts and their accessories: C1, C3, R14, R24, RV10, RV04
I find using a cello bag is the quickest and easiest way to make the shaker element. I adhered the bag to the center of an A2 card base. Then I adhered the love window panel overtop. Next I inlaid and adhered the hot pink love word outline.
I Copic colored a few ghosts from the Valentine Ghost Friends stamp set and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I adhered them around the shaker window. I trimmed off the part of the ghosts that was over the edges so the card would fit into an A2 envelope. Lastly I added a sentiment strip in the center of the love word. This sentiment stamp is included in the Valentine Ghost Friends set as well as a few other punny ghost sentiments.
Hi crafty friends! Sophie here and I am just thrilled to be sharing this fun shaker Valentine’s card with you today! This card features some of my most favorite products from this new release – let’s dive in!
To make the A2 card base I used a piece of super pale pink cardstock from my stash. For the panel on top I used the Eyelet Rectangles Die Set to cut a slightly darker piece of pink cardstock. I used the new Diamond Grid Stencilto add some interest to the panel, masking off the eyelet edges just at the stitching detail line to create the effect of more layers. I used pink ink and tried to blend in an ombre pattern where the bottom is darker and it fades out at the top.
For the shaker element I used the new Strawberry Valentine clay mix inside the Double Heart Shaker die. I love that this die can be used as a shaker, or not, whatever your preference is! It is perfectly sized to be the main focal point on an A2 card but I think it would work on just about any card size!
The greeting was heat embossed in white on red cardstock and comes from the new Valentine Greetings stamp set. I LOVE that this sentiment set has coordinating dies! I often prefer to cut out my sentiments and pop them up over other elements. Oh and did I mention how much I love the mix of block and scripty fonts on these greetings? Perfection!
I hope you found this project inspiring! I am SO thrilled to be joining the Pretty Pink Posh design team and hope to continue inspiring you! :)
Happy 2025 to all! It’s Jill here and I’m excited to kick off the year with a bit of sweet fun sharing this card I created for the new January Release! Today, I’m featuring the newFringe Heart Die Set and it is definitely a fast fave! I don’t know about you, but anytime I can create snazzy cards to mail easily, I’m all in!
I used a little different Valentine color combo of a Deep Pink, Light Gray, Soft Pink, Deep Orange and of course, A LOT of white!
I die cut each of the layers in their respective colors and layered them up, stitching each layer as I went. It would also be fun to use dimensional foam adhesive to give each layer a bit more heft, but I wanted to keep this more postal service friendly.
For the sentiment, I used the newLove Script Die and cut that out three times to give it more bulk. You can likely just add foam adhesive behind it, but I like this technique better for ease. I also prefer it so I can add a dark layer as the last die cut, giving it a bit of shadow. I like that it makes the sentiment pop a bit more.
For the base panel, I used the new XOXO Pierced Plate. (Honestly, I wanted to use the XOXO Pierced Plate on every card I made for this release. 😉) The whole panel is then die cut using the largest Eyelet Rectangle die.
This is a great card for Valentine’s Day or really any day you want to send a little love! The little fringes on each layer really give some flare so easily, while still keeping it postal friendly–love that!
Thanks for joining me here today and Happy 2025 crafting to you all! I hope you spread some love this year too!

To create the adorable valentine fox, I die-cut the fox pieces from white cardstock and colored the pieces using blending brushes and an assortment of orange inks for the body and a soft gray ink for the face, ears, belly & tip of the tail. I cut the eyes, nose and mouth from black cardstock and used liquid adhesive to assemble the fox. What a cutie! And it gets even cuter when you add one of the many options from the Valentine Holder Additions Die Set. I went with a pink heart-shaped box of chocolates wrapped with a bow and a Flamingo Pink Jewel.
For the background, I started with a pink cardstock panel and used the heart layer from the Layered Heart Sprinkles Stencil to add the tiny pink hearts. To create the lace-like bottom of the card, I adhered a short white panel with three die-cut Doily Borders.
To finish the card, I used foam tape to adhere the fox to the decorated background panel and added a pink and white embossed “Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment from the Valentine Greetings Stamp Set.
So there we are friends, a loveable-huggable fox card for your favorite Valentine.

Hello everyone, it’s June here! Today I’m showcasing a card using the new Love Word Shaker dieand lots of other products from the Valentine’s Day release.
I wanted to keep the concept of the card fairly simple, but added details along the way for some more interest. I started by die cutting the Love Word Shaker out of coral colored cardstock so I could add a darker shade of red ink to the edges. I used Festive Berries Distress Oxide for this. I didn’t blend the same ombre on the backing piece of the shaker, but instead splattered the red ink all over. I filled my shaker using a mix of 2 new shaker bit packs: the Love Shaker Beadsand the Strawberry Valentine Mix. I love how these 2 match so well!
I let those shaker bits decide the rest of my color palette. First, I brought in the pink by blending Tattered Rose Distress Oxide onto a panel I cut out using the XOXO Pierced Plate. I also splattered some Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide onto it.
I didn’t just want to have my shaker on a ‘plain’ background, so I also cut out 2 pieces of different Doily Borders to make a decorative border. I got some embroidery thread and weaved it across one of them to get a stitching effect. I adhered the more narrow border just below it for some added dimension.
The only color that was in the shaker bits that I hadn’t used yet was brown, so I picked out one of the many small word dies that are in this collection and cut it out of brown cardstock. I ended up going for the ‘Love’ from the Valentine Cake Popsbecause it perfectly matches the big LOVE and I really like the scripted font.
And tadaaa, that’s the finished card! It seemed like I was gonna get a pretty simple card with a big shaker that takes up the majority of my card, but it ended up getting very detailed with all the small details I added.

Hello, Debbie here with a new adorable puppy bucket featuring products from the brand new Valentine’s Release! The whole release is absolutely adorable and I can’t stop making with all new products.
First I started with the Candy Bucket dies from a previous release to make the puppy bucket. Then with the new Valentine Bucket Additions, die cut out brown ears and the trim to the bucket. The eyes and nose were attached and the pink nose has Glossy accents on top of it.
Next up was to make the Valentine Cake Popswith light, dark brown, red and pink card stock. Of course I had to add in some glitter card stock to the cake pops and the bows from the Valentine Cake Pops die setand the Love word from Valentine Bucket Additions. The bows were two colors and off set to add some interest. Once I laid out the bucket and cake pops I realized it needed to be a 5X7 card.
Next was the panels, I started with a 5X7 pink card stock and did some creative cutting with new XOXO Pierced Plate. With having die cutting plates off set and moving around to make the XOXO matching up. Then die cutting out the largest Eyelet Rectangle Diefrom a white panel. I knew that it to have the width of the die being 4 inches. So the length will be 5 3/4 inches, partially die cut and then slide up and match up to finish the cut.
Adhere it all down to a red mat, pop up some of the hearts with foam squares. Final touch was adding the Marshmallow Pearls and CherryRed Pearls to the center of the bows.
