Froggie Valentine

By on January 17, 2022 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I’m up at the Hedgehog Hollow blog sharing the newest kit and 2 cards. I couldn’t resist that little frog in the kit, so I made a Frog Valentine!

I first stamped the images in Eclipse Black ink, then I stenciled that heart around the frog using Yellowstone ink (trying to avoid the frog image). I colored up the frog with Copic markers.

Don’t forget about the small images. The stamp set had a small envelope image and it looks so cute as a decorative background! I stamped this with Flamingo ink (a new favorite of mine!)

I added some extra dimension by outlining the hearts with a light green marker, and the envelopes with a light grey marker.

BONUS CARD:

But I couldn’t just stop there! I made another card using the same layout, but different colors and images.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Valentine Corner Cafe
By  on February 14, 2021  in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines   

	

	    

Hello, today I am creating a scene…. on a card! I had an idea to create a little Valentine Corner Cafe using dreamy magentas and greys. This would be a little Corner Cafe you would love to visit, and it’s especially cute just in time for Valentine’s Day!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I’m using fun techniques to get some 3D detail; like: heat embossing, foam tape, and 3D coloring. Watch all the details at the video below or in HD on YouTube:













Isn’t this the cutest Corner Cafe? I’m imagining you can get coffee, crepes, hot cocoa, and smoothies there! What about cute little sandwiches, too?

SUNSHINE-all-3-cards-with-supplies
Color Block Mini Valentines
By  on February 10, 2021  in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a fun Mini Valentines project using some Color Block stamps from Maker Forte. These are the coolest stamps: you can stamp the outline block in one color, and the inside heart in another color creating a very beautiful & graphic Valentine!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I love this set so much! I had a great time combining it with this set for the sentiments, that I stamped in a nice black ink over the top of the colored hearts.






		
		
			
			
		
	
Two shades of pink






		
		
			
			
		
	
Offset heart





For the blue card, I offset the heart a little, to leave a white shadow. I think this creates a fun, whimsy look!





To make this project so easy, I first cut the heavy weight cardstock into 6″ x 3″ panels. Then I stamped the images using my Misti. It was nice to have a longer panel to hold it down with the magnet.





Once they were stamped, I scored the panel at 3″ and folded it in half to create these mini 3″ Valentines.






		
		
			
			
		
	
Buttercup & Grapefruit





These are so easy to put together and I love how fast these sets make mini Valentines!
