Sneak Peek: Valentine Ghost Friends

Hello, crafty friends! Arsenia here, and I’m excited to share a sneak peek with you today! The Valentine Ghost Friends stamp set and coordinating dies are absolutely adorable — I couldn’t stop using them. For my color palette, I was inspired by vintage ghost valentines, which often feature a mix of red, blue, and black. Of course, I had to add a touch of pink to complete the look! Let’s dive in!

New release will be available January 6th

For my first card, I stamped the images from the Valentine Ghost Friends set in black and then colored them using alcohol markers in a mix of red, blue, and pink tones. After coloring, I used the Valentine Ghost Friends coordinating dies to cut out the images.

Next, I created the background using the new Circle Grid stencil — and let me tell you, I’m totally obsessed with all the stencils in this release! To add a little extra detail, I used another new stencil, the Layered Heart Sprinkles, to stencil partial red hearts onto the grid.

For the frame, I used the large die from the Eyelet Rectangles Dies, cutting out a rectangle from the center. I also die-cut a heart from the Eyelet Heart Dies. For embellishment, I added images from the new Valentine Holder Additions Dies. This die set is phenomenal, and I know you’ll love it too!

Finally, I worked on the sentiment. I used the Large Boo Shadow Dies and two sentiments from the Valentine Ghost Friends set. Ta-da — the card was done, and I think that ghost is just too cute!

For my second card, I began by stenciling the background using the new Layered Heart Sprinkles stencil. Then, I created a frame using the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies to give the card some structure. The ghosts from Valentine Ghost Friends stamp set needed a resting place, so I die-cut the smallest heart from the Eyelet Heart Dies and placed the ghosts on top.

I added some finishing touches with dies from the Valentine Holder Additions Dies — you’re going to want to add these to your collection, trust me!

The final step was adding the sentiment. I used a love sentiment from the new Valentine Greetings set (another must-have — the font is just perfect!). I also included two additional sentiments from the Valentine Ghost Friends set, heat-embossed on white cardstock and die-cut with the Sentiment Strip Dies. To wrap it all up, I added some white gel pen highlights for a touch of whimsy. I love how it turned out!

For my third card, I used the remaining colored images from the Valentine Ghost Friends stamp set with coordinating dies. I once again used the Layered Heart Sprinkles stencil for the background. To give the ghosts a place to rest, I die-cut the smallest square from the Eyelet Squares Dies. I arranged the squares and ghosts and added a few embellishments from the new Strawberry Valentine Mix.

For the sentiment, I chose a phrase from the Valentine Ghost Friends set, heat-embossing it in white on pink cardstock. I then die-cut it using the Sentiment Strip Dies. For an extra touch, I used the Boo Die from the Ghost Shaker Dies. And with that, the card was complete!

Friends, I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek! I absolutely love this release, and the Valentine Ghost Friends stamp set is definitely one of my favorites. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
