Loads of Love Card by Samantha Mann

Loads of Love!

It's a new year and we are ready to spread some love! Today Samantha created a love filled card using our Love Quarry and Valentine Postage Sampler stamp sets paired together! 

To start, she stamped the three construction trucks along with the construction cones from the Love Quarry Stamp Set and colored them in yellow and gray with a pop of pink! She cut them out with the coordinating Love Quarry Die Set. She decided to add a bit more fun by adding in the images of the speech bubbles with hearts and the heart balloons from our Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set, coloring them to match and cutting them out with the coordinating Valentine Postage Sampler Die Set. She also added some fun white accents to her images with a white gel pen . 

Next, she cut out the frame with three windows using the Frames & Taags Die Set with pink cardstock. She created a subtle heart background to layer behind the frame using our Petite Hearts Stencil with white texture paste onto the white stitched cut outs. The she added piles of dirt by cutting out hills using the cloud edge from our Sky Borders Die Set and flipping it upside down. She added white and brown paint splatters to her piles of dirt to help give texture. 

She then layered on the construction vehicles. It's so cute how she added the speech bubbles above the cement truck and the big heart balloons behind the dump truck! 

Last she added the sentiment, also from the Love Quarry Stamp Set, embossed in white on a black rectangle. 

We LOVE how all of these elements come together. This card would be perfect for Valentine's Day or just to send a bit of extra love any time of year!

Heart Shaped Tags by Amanda Wilcox

A Trio of Love!

Today Amanda has created a trio of adorable tags, perfect for adorning a Valentine treat!

Each of these tags was created by cutting out the big heart using our Heart Frames Die Set. She cut hearts from pink, red and purple and then added a heart pattern onto the front of each of them using our Petite Hearts Stencil. She used a coordinating color to give a tone on tone look. She layered a  smaller scallop edged heart onto each larger heart, cut using Heart Frames Die Set.

Each tag was then adorned with an adorable love themed image, stamped from our Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set. She colored the images in colors to match the hearts and added some sparkle and gloss to them too. 

She also added small words from the Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set onto each small white heart. The tags were assembled and she added some enamel dots and burlap string. 

Now they're ready to add onto your favorite Valentine treat! What a fun way to make someone feel special. 

We hope you enjoyed this project by Amanda. You can see more over her beautiful work over on her blog, Twiddler's Nook!

Sweet Puppy Treats Card by Samantha Mann

Sending a Special Treat!

Today Samantha has created a card that is filled with yummy treats, perfect for sending to a Valentine or loved one! 

For this yummy card she started out with the puppy in the cookie jar from our Puppy’s Cookie Jar Stamp Set. She colored the image and then added the sentiment "Special Treats for Someone Sweet" onto the jar front. The image was cut out using the coordinating Puppy’s Cookie Jar Die Set. 

This puppy is dreaming of lots of treats so Samantha die cut a big speech bubble using our Speech Bubbles Die Set and filled it with small images of love and sweets! The cookies are from the Puppy’s Cookie Jar Stamp Set and the other images are from the Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set.

Cherry Themed Valentine by Diane Morales

Love and Cherry Kisses!

Today Diane has created a sweet cherry themed card, perfect for Valentine's Day! 

For this adorable card she started by creating a cherry filled background. She used the image of the cute heart shaped cherries from our  Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set, stamping it repeatedly over a white panel with black ink. She cut this panel out using our Basic Frames Dies Set to give it the fun stitched edge. 

For her center image she stamped three more of the same cherry image, this time coloring them in bright red with green leaves. She cut this trio of cherries out using the coordinating Valentine Postage Sampler Die Set. She layered them over red and white circles and added them to the center of her card. 

Last, she stamped the the message "love & kisses" using words from the Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set and embossing them in white on a small red rectangle. 

What a great way to use the small images from this stamp set! You could make a series of these using the different images for quick and easy valentines.

Postage inspired Valentine Card by Amanda Wilcox

Mail Some Love this Valentine's Day!

Today Amanda is sharing a postage inspired valentine card, perfect for mailing love to a friend!

To create this beautiful Amanda cuts out the panel of postage stamp shapes using our Postage Stamp Layout Die Set. She cuts the panel of postage stamp shapes apart so that she has individual stamp edges. She  stamps favorite images from our Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set onto the interior pieces of the postage stamp shapes, adding glitter for an extra touch.  She stamped and colors the postmark image from the Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set, cutting it out with the coordinating Valentine Postage Sampler Die Set.  She also cuts out the word "love" from our Charming Hearts Frame Die Set and adds a bit of glitter to the letters.

She used our Bokeh Hearts Stencil Set to create the gorgeous heart background. To create this pretty pattern, she started with a piece of light pink cardstock and then stenciled the two layers of hearts in different shades of pink. So pretty! 

Once all the pieces were created, she assembled the card, arranging all the pieces over the heart background and popping them up with dimensional adhesive. 

We hope you enjoyed this gorgeous valentine by Amanda. You can see more over her beautiful work over on her blog, Twiddler's Nook!
