Heart Shaped Cards

By on January 14, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! I have some heart shaped cards to share with you. I am using the Pretty Bird Stamp set from Miss Ink stamps for these valentines, so I guess they are Valentines “Cawds”!

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I made two different cards using different techniques: one using a masking technique, and one with glitter gel and a stencil.

This one uses a mask over the Wooden Heart stamp. I love to make it look a little more 3D using markers.

The second one is the glittery one! Oh how I love a glittery heart!

The sentiment is on the inside

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!

Chocolate Truffles

Hello! Today I have a delicious post to share with Chocolate Truffles on a card! I also am creating a Chocolate Heart Box (that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day), but the chocolate truffles can be used all year.





Watch my video below or in HD on YouTube:













I’ve been so excited to share this, but had to wait for these to come back in stock again (they have sold out twice!) So, while this is after Valentine’s Day…the truffles can still be used at any time of year!





For the chocolate truffles, I die cut them with some white pearlized paper and colored them with Copic markers in brown, pink and grey. I built them up with foam squares to get a 3-D look.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I am completely in love with these boxes and can’t wait to make more for next year! I will use different patterned paper to get different looks. There is also an accent die that you can cut out a heart shape on the top of the box and replace it with acetate to make a see-through box lid!

Love Letters
By  on February 10, 2022  in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines   

	

	    

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…





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













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.

Consider Yourself Hugged
By  on February 6, 2021  in Holidays, Paper Crafting, 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!
