Day 1: Valentine Theme Week + Daily Giveaways
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.

Your coloring is amazing! I LOVE the cupid and monkeys! My mom and dad were there for me in a very hard time of my life and got me through it!
I am physically disabled after a freak accident that hurt my back terribly. My dad is my primary caregiver. He is always willing to help me, day or night, and never makes me feel like I’m a bother or burden. It’s definitely not what I wanted him to do during his retirement but I am so thankful he is willing to help me. He is the best.
What great cards! My husband helped me raise the 2 most wonderful sons a Mother can have. Without his love and devotion it would have been so much more difficult.
My granddaughter, when she was 4 gave me $10 just because she wanted me to have it. I said, oh no, honey, I want you to have it. But she really wanted me to have it, as if it would break her spirit if I returned it.
After I broke my ankle and had to have surgery, not only did my family help me in recovery, but my neighbor would come and change our bedsheets and do little chores around the house for me. I was so thankful for her help!
Adorable cards and love both backgrounds! There was no big party at work when I retired. Soon after, we had our usual monthly visit with family members in another town. I walked in to find Happy Retirement decorations and a special dessert. It was a great loving surprise!
I’ll always remember when my youngest son flew in from Japan to surprise me when I moved to another state. It was a very special memory.
These are adorable cards. Really like how you stamped the sentiments on the background in the first card and love the stripes in the second. Such a cute release.
I will always remember my now husband secretly placing love notes all over my car while I was working.
thank you for the tutorial, love your projects. For Christmas one year my mother gave my siblings and I a binder of items she had cherished and saved for each of us. It’s something i still look at to this day.
For my wedding my bff had her mom sew a ring bearer pillow out of my mother’s wedding dress. My mom & dad had passed away 2 years before and this was a beautiful way to reuse her dress and also have her with me at the wedding.
My mom would always cook my favorite meal for my birthday. She would make it special, and it was always so delicious. Unfortunately, my mother has passed on but I’ll never forget ways that she made me feel special on my birthday and beyond!
Last year my partner scared me by leaving the door unlocked after we ran errands. I almost had a heart attack and started yelling “OH NO! I hope no one stole the cats!” – Only to walk inside and find a bunch of my friends yelling “SURPRISE!” for my birthday! He was not only able to plan a party, with people he did not know, but everyone chipped in and helped decorate the dining room! I’ve never felt more grateful to have them in my life!
It’s my birthday weekend and my husband just gifted me a beautiful necklace and earrings!
My mum always cooks my favourite food and a special pear drink when I am coughing when I was staying with her. Had a very bad coughing incident few years ago and she boiled and delivered the pear drink to my place! So grateful for that!
Your coloring is absolutely amazing. I’m disabled and my mom and dad help me tremendously. I could not make it without them. I am so grateful for them.
Adorable Valentines! Love the cute images and the beautiful coloring!
My Mom gave me a beautiful gold and platinum ring setting that had been a family heirloom. It was missing the stone and my hubby bought me a beautiful vintage diamond that we had a jeweler set in it. I wear it every day! A treasured gift!
Had some bad things going on at a house behind me and a gentleman friend had heard about it & came & waited for me to get home so he could do a walk thru of my place to make sure it was safe for me to go inside.. he later became my husband.
The special person is my husband. What he did did for me was ask me to marry him. He has always been the most loving and supportive person I have ever known. I will always remember this and be grateful for him as long as I live.
love these vday cards! with all this snowy weather i’m thankful for my spouse who always drives me to work on these snowy roads!
My parents have always made me feel like everything they have ever done was for the better of me and my siblings. They also showed me how important family is always being close to each other because in my life I have witnessed some people have not much interaction with their families or parents not show an interest in what their kids lives are like. Oddest thing to me, but makes me so grateful for my parents and siblings and the relationship we have.
I have 3 brothers and 1 sister. My mom was very busy with the five of us. For my sixth birthday she made me heart shape sugar cookies with pink frosting and red candies hearts. I took them them to school to share them with my friends at lunch.
Cute cards, especially the monkeys. Something special someone has done for me….not exactly what your asking for but, my mom always “had my back” and I miss her terribly.
My parents made my husband and me a spaghetti and meatball dinner for our first Valentine’s Day together. After we got married, we turned it around and invited them for a romantic spaghetti and meatball dinner in our house. We made their romantic hideaway the dining room while we had our romantic hideaway in the 3-season porch (it’s heated). Then we all got together for dessert.
sharing their faith every day with me
The night my father passed away I could not be found on my college campus (I was getting a late dinner). My best friend spent over an hour trudging through snow trying to find me, then was there to hold me when I called my mom and got the news. That’s a true friend.
Thankful for my amazing husband who is always there for me and our kids. He makes every day special (most days–LOL).
The cards are so adorable! My husband taking care of me after a major health issue.❤️
I SO LOVE the bird. How sweet and innocent. The monkeys are adorable, too :) Full of fun and mischief.
Both of your cards are so cute. I always think individual circles with different elements are so stunning. My mom has passed but she knew that I loved Boston Creme Pie and would randomly surprise me with it when I was down. It was so thoughtful and just something that made me feel special. I miss her every day but she left me with some beautiful memories.
Such sweet cards!! Those monkeys are adorable.
SQUEAL!! These are such CUTE Card Designs!! I’m THANKFUL for all of the LOVE and SUPPORT I received while I was going through my Chemo and Radiation Treatments!! Not just from my Family, but also from Friends and Crafty Peeps both local and afar!! I’ve NEVER felt MORE LOVED and SUPPORTED and will CHERISH those that made my Family and I feel so LOVED and BLESSED!!
Amazing cards! My mom always cooks my favorite meals and desserts when I visit. It’s the little things, but they are so thoughtful!
A friend giving me a surprise birthday party.
My daughter was about 6 when she made me a little card when I was sick and some toast (with nothing on it). She was so sweet.
My mom drove me to florida to see the ocean
Adorable card! Many moons ago, my husband presented me a box of my favourite chocolates & took me out for a candlelight dinner.
One year on Valentines Day my husband a Barbershop Quartet to sing to me at my place of work. That sure brought tears to my eyes and my coworkers enjoyed it as well.
Years ago, my hubby secretly made a handmade clock (from an old CD) with all my favorite things added to it: shades of purple, lilac roses, tweety bird, musical notes, etc. I had made about 12 of them as gifts for others and so he thought I should have one, too! It was so very touching and I cried when I saw it! I will always remember that moment. <3
Such great cards Hanh! I love the cute design and images. My kids surprised me the first year my son went off to college by all making it home for my birthday. I was thinking it would be my first birthday without them.
Lovely cards…. love the pinks/reds with the aqua accents!!
Thankful for our ‘everyday ‘ blessings (and a son willing to shovel walkways after 12+” I’d snow)!
Both these cards are so cute! Wonderful coloring. My husband secretly planned a overseas trip and surprised me for our 20th anniversary.
My husband tried to arrange a surprise graduation party for me when I finished my masters degree. I was so touched by the effort, however COVID put an end to that.
I absolutely love your cards! They are very eye catching. My kids have done so many things for me that it’s impossible to name just 1. The 3 of them are so very thoughtful and I always feel the love from them.
Love the cards, my mom was just always there for me thru hard times
Too fun! Love the
Cupid. My husband
carved me a Valentine
card from wood! Had
hearts carved on it.
Carla from Arizona
Bringing a meal when we had a birth or illness. So helpful and needed!
I had always wanted to go to mickey mouse’s hang out, so My mom took me on a trip to disneyland and we spent all day enjoying the rides and yummy treats! It was the best day ever!!!
I will never forget how my family rallied around me after my first baby was born. My mom had passed when I was 8 months pregnant and it was heartbreaking, but my family really stepped up to be there for me and my baby.
My mom cut out several valentines and wrote how she loves me on each one and taped them to my closet to surprise me when I woke up.
So cute. I like the circle designs. I will always remember that my son and daughter-in-law blessed me with my first grandchild on Valentine’s day.
My family has been there for me during all my medical appointments, supporting me all the way!
My husband gave me a Bible with my married name engraved on the front for our first Christmas together. We had just gotten engaged in October and he asked my parents if it was okay to get that for me since we were only engaged. Of course, my parents said Yes! I went on to carry it in my wedding with an orchid arrangement on it. That was over 41 years ago. Thanks for a chance to win! :D
I love the white highlights on the cards. Something special I will always remember are the little things like my adult children Snapchatting daily or texting to see how my day was, someone surprising me with a coffee when they stop by or we are out running errands, a friend checking in to see if I needed anything while I was under the weather.
Gorgeous Valentines Cards Hanh!! Love the dove and cupid and those hilarious monkeys!! Great coloring too!! My oldest son has many times come to my help, with the many surgeries and recoveries. He even took off from his job to come from another city to wait on me in 2018. My husband helps as well, but because he works, he does not have the time. Am so appreciative of the whole family!
My sister is always there for me. I am so Thankful for her. She was always willing to tend my kids or be there when I needed to talk.
Love these cards so cute .My hubby is amazing 45 years together and he always gives me flowers for Valentine’s day and our Anniversary. He has never forgotten a day, even when he was sick.
I love both cards so much. The chocolate monkeys really looks great with the pink, red, and blue background. I also love the shading of cupid’s hair. My favorite memory is when my family threw me a surprise 30th birthday party. I was bummed and thought I’d be spending my birthday alone, and this surprise meant everything to me!
Cute cards! I always treasure the little “love you” notes my daughters send me.
Your cards are so cute! I am fortunate to have 3 strong sons who are always willing to help their dad and I as we get older. Cleaning out the gutters, filling sand bags for a recent rain storm and so on! We are blessed!❤️
Such cute cards! Love how you color. My hunny surprised me with a working computer one Christmas.
When I was a little girl, my mother took me to a fancy tea.
Adorable cards! I just had knee surgery. My husband is taking care of me and doing all the chores. He does all with love and caring. I am blessed to have such a wonderful spouse.
Very cute card. The one memory that remains first in my mind is the time that my grandpa made me a stocking full of my favorite Christmas cookies. Being the oldest grandchild I was the first to lose my stocking at his house. He hated that so he gave me one full of cookies that he baked himself. They are still my favorite cookies.
These are adorable!
My mom always had my favorite cake (without frosting) for my birthday, love that she still thinks of it on my birthday but we are not near each other now for her to have it for me.
