Cards

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card for Valentines, using some of the new January release.

I began with my background. On a piece of white card, I inked the edges with spun sugar, picked raspberry and abandoned coral distress oxide inks. I kept the centre free of colour to give a bright highlight area. I used my heat tool to dry the ink.

Next, I positioned the new Lattice stencil over the panel and inked through it with a clear embossing ink. I then heat embossed the stencil pattern with WOW White Pearl embossing powder. This powder looks different on the inked areas compared to the white card in the centre.

From the centre of the panel, I die cut the smaller of the heart dies from the All My Love coordinating die set. I also created a heart frame from white card, using both of the coordinating dies.

On a piece of heat resistant acetate, I stamped the heart image from the All My Love stamp set with clear embossing ink. I heat embossed the pattern with a superfine white embossing powder. I layered the acetate behind the embossed panel to show through the heart window opening.

On the reverse of the panel, I added a layer of foam tape. I had originally planned to create a shaker card, but decided instead to adhere some jewels in place behind the acetate window. This gives a look of sparkle behind the embossed patterned heart and they all stay in place.

Before adhering the jewels, I added a gel printed background to my card base. This was created using picked raspberry and spun sugar distress oxide inks. I then adhered jewels in different sizes to show through the window, using the Valentine jewel mix. I adhered the front panel onto my card base. The jewels look so pretty as they catch the light through the acetate window. It’s tricky to capture in the photos but is so pretty in real life.

For the sentiment, I embossed the large ‘Love’ stamp from the Valentine Hearts stamp set on pink card with white embossing powder. I love when word dies have coordinating dies as offers more possibilities for colours, both with the stamped word and the edge around it.

I added some blank die cuts behind the word for dimension, then adhered it on the card. I love the look of this sentiment and how it looks like handwriting on a card. It would be easy to add a smaller sentiment underneath this large word, depending on the recipient.

I finished by adding a few pink hearts from the Pink Hearts clay confetti above the sentiment.

Thanks for visiting! I hope we have given you some ideas for your Valentines! Stop back by tomorrow for more inspiration. 

Hello, friends! It’s Lindsey and I’m happy to be joining Valentine Theme Week with a project that makes me smile. All products in the Valentine’s Day category is 15% off this week!

Valentine’s Day is a pretty exciting time of year when you have little kids around, but I can distinctly remember some sad Valentine’s Days. After one of those in college, I made the decision to make it a day where I help others feel loved.  It’s been a goal of mine ever since, and now that I have children I love including them in that goal. Every year we talk and come up with a list of people who we think could use some extra love. Then we set to work creating notes, cards, and sometimes treats.  

My littlest loves lollipops (probably because Grandma sneaks them to her), so she is going to show love by giving something she loves. Pretty Pink Posh had the perfect supplies to dress them up!  We used All My Love and the coordinating dies to mass produce a giant pile of hearts in pink, raspberry, red, aqua, and turquoise – a color combo I come back to again and again this time of year. Then I heat embossed the heart from All My Love on all of the smaller heart die cuts.  After layering the hearts together, we had a big pile to attach to some lollipops.  The lollipops were flat, which made them easy to stick onto the back of the hearts with a tape runner. I folded the packaging in a bit before adding the adhesive, so you wouldn’t see it poke out the sides. 

We added a little flag, using the Stitched Labels 1 dies. The tiny heart on the flag comes from the Heart Vines dies and the sentiment is from All My Love. We’ll write her name on the back. To adhere, I simply put glue tape on the back side of the rounded edge of the flag and wrapped it around the stick.

I also wanted to show you how you could use the same supplies to make a card.  I created a slimline card and added a white double frame using the Slimline: Scallop Frames Dies. 

I ran both dies together at the same time, so the inner frame is actually the negative space between the two dies. I used three of the layered hearts for the focal point and added one of the other sentiments in All My Love. 

Thanks so much for joining me today!  Don’t forget that everything in the Valentine’s Day category is 15% off this week, so pick up some of your favorites and go spread some love.

Hello crafty friends, it’s Yoonsun here to share a Valentine’s Day card with the Heart Vines die along with other love-themed products. The Heart Vines die has been loved by many crafty people already- it sold out but thankfully, is now back in stock.

I started by die cutting the Heart Vines from thick white cardstock. I die cut tiny hearts from red cardstock as well.

I made a heart background for the centre of the card using the Layered Hearts Stencils and Tattered Rose & Festive Berries Distress inks.

For the “Lovely” sentiment, I die cut it from metallic gold cardstock, and another sentiment, I heat embossed it from the Large Floral Hearts set in white.

I mounted all elements as shown in the picture on beige card base. I then decorated the card with red tiny heart die cuts & Sweetheart Rhinestones.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you tomorrow for a new day of Valentine inspiration!

Hugs,
Yoonsun 

Hi friends, Tammy here! I’m so excited to be kicking off Valentine Theme Week with Pretty Pink Posh! Today I’m sharing this fun slimline shaker card, mixing together some of the newest release with some previous ones – I just love how all the products work so well together!!

To begin, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using the largest die from the Slimline: Peekaboo Windows Dies, and ink blended it with Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered some watered down Peacock Feathers onto my background for interest and set aside to dry.

Next, I did some paper piecing using the Valentine Hearts Stamp Set. First, I stamped the large scalloped hearts onto white cardstock and die cut them with the Valentine Hearts Coordinating Dies. I then stamped it again onto some patterned paper, fussy cut the hearts, and glued it to the die cut scalloped hearts. The other patterned hearts were simply die cut using the coordinating dies. 

I stamped the darling cupids from the Cupid Friends Stamp Set, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Coordinating Dies. Next, I stamped the word “Love”, from the Valentine Hearts Stamp Set, onto white cardstock with Red ink, then I white heat embossed the sentiment from All My Love onto a black strip of cardstock.

Next, I created a white frame border using the Slimline Dies. I then cut a piece of acetate to fit the opening and attached to the backside of the frame. Lastly, I sprinkled some 4mm Sweetheart Sequins Mix onto my card base, then lined the rectangle with Double Sided Foam Sticky Strips, and attached to the front of my card, making sure it is tightly sealed to complete my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you are inspired to start creating some Valentine’s cards! Join us tomorrow for another day of brand new Valentine inspiration!

Big Hugs, Tammy
