Cards

Hello, it’s Gemma here today for Valentine Theme Week.

The new Valentine Wreath stamp set is showcased on my card today. I offset the wreath for a fun alternative design. I began with the background, using the new Scattered Hearts stencil to dry emboss a pattern on the right side of a card panel. The plate sandwich will depend on your die cutting machine, so experiment to get the desired look. You may want to add shims for a deeper impression.

I then lightly used a blending brush to add Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo distress oxide ink colours. I started from the right hand side, fading out the colour as I went. The ink highlights the embossed details nicely. I adhered this panel to my card base.

Next, I stamped images from two new stamp sets – Valentine Wreath and Sending Love. I coloured them with copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I used foam tape to adhere the bird and wreath to the card.

For the sentiment, I stamped a greeting from the Valentine Wreath stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink on a piece of white card. I then heat embossed it with a clear shimmer embossing powder.

I die cut the sentiment and added layers behind for dimension, then adhered to my card to finish.

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Hello friends, it’s Raquel! Welcome to day 2 of Valentine theme week. From January 24th to January 30th we will be focusing on Valentine designs. 

We will be offering inspiration each day and there will be a 15% discount on all the items on Pretty Pink Posh Valentine’s Day Section during this theme week.

I have created a card featuring the Sending Love set.

The first step was to create a background for my creatures. I used the Scattered Hearts Stencil to create a gradient look. I used Seedless Preserves, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar Distress Inks.

Next I die cut this cute little tag from the set Decorative Tags Die 2. I applied the same inks only to the lower and upper part of the tag, leaving the center white so that my focal image popped up more.

Next I colored my images. The cute doggy, the letters and the little bird with the heart. I also used a bigger bird from the set Spring Robins.

I used RV66, RV63, RV21 and RV000 for the main images and RV29, RV25 and RV21 for the little hearts. To make the images pop, I added some white accents with a white gelly roll pen. Finally I white heat embossed the sentiment, which is from the set Sending Love.

Hope you like this card and visit Pretty Pink Posh Blog for more inspiration throughout this week.

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here, and I’m so happy to be participating in the Valentine’s Theme Week!  I have some simple valentine packaging ideas to share with you today. I like using paper or glassine bags for packaging because they work for baked goods, candy, or whatever little trinkets we may want to share. All odd sizes and colors are welcome since they are hidden inside. I made some at Christmas time and decided Valentine’s was the perfect occasion to whip up a couple more.

Be sure to stop by the Valentine section as all items there are 15% off this week!

On my first bag, I started by die cutting the top edge of the bag with the scalloped die in the Stacked Edges 3 dies.  I folded the top edge over the bag, cut a second scallop in black and adhered it to the bag’s scalloped edge.  

Next I die cut the large scalloped heart from the Valentine Hearts Coordinating Dies in white and pink.  I ran the pink heart back through with a smaller heart from the same die set, so I was left with just a pink scallop frame.  I layered that on top of the white scalloped heart and stamped “Happy Valentine’s Day” from the new Valentine Wreath Set in the center. I tucked a couple leaf sprigs from the Fall Foliage Dies (my favorite!) under the heart. The heart acts like a sticker and helps secure the bag closed, which is an added bonus.  

On my second bag I cut two 2.25″x8.5″ strips of paper in pink and white.  I die cut the pink strip with the Slimline: Floral Cover Die and placed it on top of the solid white strip.  It is extra long, so it can fold over the top of the bag. 

Next I layered a gold negative cut heart from the Heart Vines Die on top of the smaller heart in the All My Love Dies.  I think they layer so perfectly!  I added a sentiment from the Valentine Wreath Stamp Set, and finished it off by tucking a couple berry sprigs from the Fall Foliage Dies behind the layered heart.  

This packaging is quick to put together and so fun to make. You could use the same idea to dress up an envelope that you’d be delivering in person. I hope you’ll give it a try!  

Stop by tomorrow for another day of Valentine inspiration!

Hi friends! Leica here today with an A2 sized Valentine’s Day card. For this card, I used the new Love Hearts cover plate die. It’s super easy and fun to make cards with this die and I hope you will give it a try.

To start, I cut the Love Hearts die in white cardstock. I then colored the flowers with Copic markers in R85/83/81 and the leaves with G43/40. For the yellow centers of the flowers, I simply cut small squares of  yellow cardstock and adhered them behind the flowers. Next, I adhered the cover plate onto an A2 sized dark pink cardstock. 

For the 2 hearts, I inlay the pieces and added pink dots with Copic marker R83. I colored the hearts with a gold marker, stamped “Happy Valentine’s Day” on one of the hearts, and added the “love you” script on the other. This script is from the Valentine Wreath stamp set and coordinating die. I cut a few pieces and stacked it for dimension.

Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a card base. That’s all for this card. Thank you so much for stopping by today!
