Andrea created an adorable fish tank to hold all the cute little fish from the new  Tides of Love Stamp Set! She created a shaker window using our Frames & Flags Die Set and layered in the fish behind it.

The cute little crab on this card by Ellen is ready to send a "pinch" of love, perfect for a Valentine or Love greeting! For her card, she created a little sea scene on top of the heart from our Darling Hearts Die Set.

Samantha created this magnificent sea themed card using the octopus and fish from the  Tides of Love Stamp Set. For her background she added distress inks and splashes in a circular shape and placed the octopus in the center. The little fish are so fun with their rainbow fins too!

This delightful underwater scene was created by Tatiana! She used the whale and little fish from the new  Tides of Love Stamp Set, coloring them in fun bright colors. For the background she used our Bokeh Hearts Stencil Set with shades of blue ink to create a unique water theme! She also used our Frames & Flags Die Set for the rounded stitched rectangle and the banner that holds the sentiment.

Valentine's Day is the perfect time for giving out treats! Larissa created this darling tote that is perfect for sharing a special treat! She added an adorable pink and teal tag onto the tote using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set, layering the cute octopus from the  Tides of Love Stamp Set on top.
