Hello friends! This is Mindy and I’m here to share one of my favorite cards created from the Valentine release using the Valentine Cupcakes. I have a full video tutorial explaining how I created this card and the supplies used.
A couple sets that I’m going to be using to create this card are the Valentine Cupcakes and Sweet Chocolates stamp set. My images are colored on X-Press It Cardstock and colored with Olo Markers.
Another one of my favorites from this release is the Layered Heart Lattice stencil. I ink blended it with Salt Water Taffy and Candied Apple Distress inks.
The Eyelet Rectangle adds just a perfect touch to my Valentine design and so I trimmed my stenciled panel down to fit just inside of the rectangle. Then adding my cupcakes and sentiment with foam tape.
I hope you were inspired by today’s card and video. Thanks for stopping by!
Next, I die cut the largest die in the Eyelet Heartsset 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 Heartscover 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 Scriptsstamp set. I then stamped the word ‘Sweet’ from the Sweet Chocolates stamp setwith 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.
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 setto 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 theLayered 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 diesalong 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.
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.
Hi crafty friends! Carly here and I’m so excited to share my latest Valentine project with you!
I love making little treats for Valentine’s Day and when I saw the Valentine Train stamps & coordinating dies I couldn’t wait to make it into little treat boxes!
Check out this quick process video to see how I made this “treat train”…
Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I’m thrilled to be back on the blog with this Valentine card showcasing the ever so cute Valentine Train, it’s such an amazing new stamp set, and what a great addition to the Pretty Pink Posh catalog!
I started off by stamping all the images from Valentine Train on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers using a salmon + red + brown color palette which I like a lot! And to make my card even cuter, I also stamped and colored a kitty from Cuddly Cats that I fussy cut to fit inside the empty wagon.
Next I cut a Pierced Hearts panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and I wanted my background to contrast with the images, so I colored the panel using tumbled glass and broken china oxide inks. I mixed some broken china oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the paper, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.
I white heat embossed my “I choo choo choose you” greeting from Valentine Train on black cardstock and trim it into a scalloped banner using a Sentiment Strips die, attached it in the middle of the panel using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck my images using 1mm foam squares as well.
To finish my card, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and applied some morning dew nuvo drops on the hearts to make them sparkle. And that’s it! I hope that you like this adorable Valentine card. Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Hello! It’s Lindsey here. Sometimes I make a project that I am absolutely giddy about. This is one of them! :) I love St. Patrick’s Day. It reminds me of my Irish grandmother who I absolutely adored. I don’t have very many decorations to celebrate the holiday, though. When I saw the big Shamrock Shaker die, I knew it would make a fabulous garland. And I have to say, I’m pretty smitten with the result.
This project comes together super quickly, so I hope you’ll give it a try. All you need is one die – the Shamrock Shaker.
There are a couple things that make the Shamrock Shaker Dies perfect for this project: they are large in scale and symmetrical. Because of the large size, it only took 14 shamrocks to stretch across my shelf. (This would fit across my fireplace mantle as well, but at the time I made it, I had Christmas Stockings hanging. Lol.)
After cutting 14 solid white shamrocks, I cut 3 colored inner portions for each shamrock, so 81 pieces total. You could certainly layer more pieces, but 3 made it full enough for my liking. I adhered one colored layer to the white shamrock, then scored the other two down the middle (which was 1.5″).
Next, I folded both shamrock centers down the middle, layered them on top of each other, and put glue down the spine. Then, I placed them in the center of my shamrock and held them until the glue dried. You could use any glue of choice, but I used hot glue because it dries quickly and has a strong bond. It also helps hold the shamrock centers in a permanent fanned position.
The process goes really quickly if you streamline it and do all the scoring then all the gluing.
Finally, I arranged the shamrocks in rainbow order and adhered them to a white string.
Ta-da! Isn’t it fun? Here is one last view closer up.
I hope I’ve inspired you to create something today. You could also use the new Stitched Hearts Dies to make a Valentine’s version of this if that’s more your thing. For that matter, you could make a garland for each season using Pretty Pink Posh’s Stitched Pumpkins, Pine Tree Dies, etc. Just choose a die that is symmetrical, and you are good to go.

Hello everyone, June here! Today I’m back to share a project with the brand new Valentine’s Day products.
When I saw the new release, my eye instantly went to the Heart Cover Plate die, so I just had to make a card with it right away! I used Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide to make a faded background. After that I splatted some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide and some thinned out white acrylic paint to add some detail.
I cut some acetate to size and glued it onto my card panel. I adhered it with some thick foam tape and divided it into 6 separate windows for my shaker bits. I decided to go for the Valentine Heartsbecause those were my favorite from the new release. I backed it with a simple white panel.
I thought it would be cute to have a small image to fill each frame, and the Sweet Chocolatesstampswere perfect for that because of their size. I stamped them in brown ink to make them appear a bit softer. I decided to go for browns, pinks and yellows as a color palette.
I’m always so happy when I see a scripted sentiment in a set, so you just know I had to go for the one that’s included in Sweet Chocolates. I stamped it with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide and finished off the sentiment with the rest of the phrase in the set. I also decided to add the ‘xoxo’ from the Sentiment Strips Valentine.
