Hello! Today I have some love letters to share, with some of my favorite dies! These little envelopes are so fun to create with and they are perfect for some Valentines.
Today I am creating alcohol ink panels (that are super easy and stress-free!) for die cutting some of the images. This creates a fun look…
I also pulled together some patterned paper for some of the elements. When you put them all together, they create the sweetest little Valentine cards.
For this card, I used the purple inked panel to die cut the Kisses sentiment and the hearts. Some patterned paper makes a cute envelope…I used some vellum on the inside of an envelope to soften the pattern.
The background is made with the dotted cover die that I inked with a pink ink. (See the video for the details).
This one uses the same design…just mixing up the colors. The envelope is die cut with an inked panel, and the sentiment and hearts are cut from black cardstock.
For this one, I mixed it up even more! Bringing in a Mega Love die that I cut from an alcohol inked background. I love the bold sentiment on a woodgrain background (this paper is from my stash and probably years and years old).
This last one uses Rose Gold mirror card for the envelope (oh la la!) with a patterned paper background. I die cut some Xs and Os and built them up with many layers.

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.

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 pinkOffset 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!

Hello! Today I have a Valentine full of hearts and bears. This started off with a pink piece of cardstock and just got more pink from there! Lol. Sometimes a Valentine is just full of pink
When I saw this Layered Heart Stencil I fell in love and knew it needed to come live at my house. I used two shades of pink ink to add these hearts to the pink cardstock.
Then I white heat embossed the large XOXO onto another piece of pink cardstock. I white heat embossed the sub-sentiment onto black cardstock. I colored up those cute bears and cut them out.
Then, it was just a matter of putting this all together and adding a piece of pink glitter tape. Love a little glitter!
