Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I’m super happy to be back on the blog with this bright and colorful card showcasing the gorgeous Big Valentine Cupcake and beautiful Half Hearts stencils.

I went all rainbow with this card, and started off by creating a colorful background using the Half Hearts stencils on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. Along with the stencil A, I used spun sugar, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, salvaged patina, tumbled glass and shaded lilac oxide inks. And along with the stencil B, I used kitsch flamingo, spiced marmalade, mustard seed, peacock feathers, salty ocean and wilted violet oxide inks. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a small brush to add splatters all over the panel, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink to bring a little bit of contrast.

Next I cut all the Big Valentine Cupcake pieces, and colored them using oxide inks again. Here are the colors I used for each element: • cupcake case: spun sugar + kitsch flamingo • heart: shaded lilac + wilted violet • cupcake & cookies: antique linen + vintage photo • rainbow cream: shaded lilac + tumbled glass + salvaged patina + squeezed lemonade + dried marigold + spun sugar • flag: salvaged patina + peacock feathers. 

I also cut the pole for the flag out of a light gray cardstock, and three small hearts out of a gold mirror cardstock.

I cut the largest Eyelet Heart out of vellum, and assembled my cupcake right on top of it using 1mm foam squares, and then I attached the vellum heart on my Half Hearts panel using liquid glue.

Finally, I white heat embossed my “Hugs & kisses” greeting from Sentiment Strips: Valentine, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached it on the cupcake case using foam squares again. And that’s it! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you soon!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Dana here today with a colorful St. Patrick’s Day card to share with you all.

I started my card by making my card panel with the Simple Strips die. I die cut a rainbow of cardstock strips and attached them to my panel in rainbow order. Next, I used the Shamrock Shaker die to die cut a large shamrock out of a white panel. I then attached the panel over my rainbow with foam adhesive. I love all the clean white space with the colorful strips showing from behind.

For my sentiment I used the Lucky Shadow dies. I die cut the shadow from vellum and the word lucky from gold cardstock. Once the two die cuts were glued together I attached the sentiment to the center of my shamrock with foam adhesive. Lastly, I added a few Sparkling Clear sequins to finish my card. 

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card. I think this same card design will work great with other larger dies. I hope I inspired you to create one of your own.

Enjoy your day, Dana

Hello, Gemma here today, sharing a card with the new Sweet Chocolates stamp set. I teamed it with the new Eyelet Hearts die set, to create a chocolate box.

I began by stamping out images from the Sweet Chocolates stamp set. I coloured them with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies.

Copic marker colours

• R20-24 R30
• YR23-24
• E55-59
• E40-41

Next, I die cut the largest die in the Eyelet Hearts set from two colours of pearlescent card. On the pink die cut, I used scissors to cut along the stitched line and remove the eyelet details.

I adhered the die cut hearts together, then the chocolate images on top. I added some layers behind each chocolate for dimension.

For the background, I die cut the Pierced Hearts cover plate with white card. This adds subtle details which is perfect for backgrounds.

I stamped a small ‘wishes’ on the panel, from the older Holiday Scripts stamp set. I then stamped the word ‘Sweet’ from the Sweet Chocolates stamp set with worn lipstick distress oxide ink, then die cut it with the coordinating die. Finally, I adhered all the pieces to an A2 card base to finish.

Have a great day! Thank you for stopping by!

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here and I have a simple card to share that works great for St. Patrick’s Day but could be used all year. There are lots of times I’ve thought “I’m so lucky/blessed to know them,” and I’m so glad to have a fun way to tell them now. 

I started by dry embossing the smallest shamrock stencil from the new Layered Shamrocks stencils on my card base. Then I used the Simple Strips Dies to cut a rainbow of colors, adding a strip of gold right down the center. 

What’s at the end of every rainbow? A pot of gold, of course. The Cauldron Shaker Die worked perfectly for that. I popped up the center portion a bit, so you could see the dimension.  

Then, I added a sparkly gold sentiment using just the word layer of the Lucky Shadow Die. I stamped “to know you” from the Lucky stamp set to complete my card. 

And there you have it. I’m looking forward to mailing this one. Thanks so much for joining me today!  

Hello everyone, June here! Today I’m back with another card I made using the new release using a variety of products.

One thing I instantly noticed when I saw the Valentine Cupcakes stamp set is the familiar image on one of them – the bird on one cupcake matches the ones in the A Little Birdie stamp set! Stuff like this always sparks  an idea for a card.

So I went ahead and stamped some images from those 2 sets and colored them with Copic Markers. I also used some hearts from the new Decorative Hearts stamp set to make a little cluster of images to go in the center of my card.

For my background I used the Scallop Ovals and as always, I blended a background using Distress Oxide. I decided to use one of the stencils from the Layered Heart Lattice stencils on its own for a more subtle look. I used a blend of Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick and Saltwater Taffy to get the perfect shade of pink. For the panel behind the oval I used a bit of Lost Shadow and splattered some Hickory Smoke onto it.

I adhered my panels with foam tape to give it some dimension. To finish off my card, I stamped and embossed the ‘XOXO’ that’s in the Decorative Hearts stamp set I used before. 

And that’s it for today! I hope you enjoyed today’s blog post.

Hi friends! It’s Dana here today with a “sweet” Valentine’s Day card to share with you all.

I started my card by using the Big Valentine Cupcake dies along with the Valentine Mug Addition dies to create my images. I die cut the pieces from white cardstock and ink blended the individual pieces with finger daubers before assembling. I then added a few white paint splatters to my images and set them aside to dry.

Next, I used the Layered Heart Lattice stencil (2 layers) to create my card panel.  Such a sweet stencil for Valentine’s Day, but will also make the most adorable baby card too! Once my panel was finished I die cut it with the largest Eyelet Rectangle die. I then attached my cupcake and sweets to my card panel with foam adhesive. Lastly, I used the Sentiment Strips: Valentine stamp set along with the Sentiment Strips dies for my sentiment.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed my card. I just love how the Valentine Mug Addition dies can coordinate with the cupcake. It gives you so many options and fun possibilities. I can’t wait to see what you create.

Enjoy your day, Dana
