Love You 2 Bits card by Tina Herbeck

Love you 2 BITS!!

Both cat and dog lovers will smile when they see this adorable Valentine by Tina featuring robot versions of our favorite pets! 

To create this fun card Tina stamped and colored the robot dog and cat from our Love Bots Stamp Set. She used neutral grays to color these pals, making them look like metal robots. The images were cut out using the coordinating Love Bots Die Set. 

For her card, she choose a piece of patterned paper from our Love & Woofs Paper Pad that has hearts and paw prints to fit the theme. She cut it out using our Framework Die Set to give it a fun postage edge. She also cut out a heart using out Heart Frames Die Set . She added fun texture to the heart by using our Tumbling Hearts Stencil to dry emboss a texture of small hearts. She added a bit of light ink blending to help make the little hearts appear and then layered that on top of the patterned background. She added the two robot pals and a few enamel hearts too. Below the friends she added the sentiment "Love you 2 BITS" from the Love Bots Stamp Set, embossing it in white onto a skinny banner that was cut out using our A7 Frames & Banners Die.

Wouldn't this Valentine be so fun to receive in the mail?

Valentine's Day Banner by Ellen Haxelmans

 

Valentine's Day Banner!

Today Ellen is sharing a fun way to decorate for Valentine's Day with a heart shaped Banner!! 

The hearts on the banner are adorned with the sweet kitty images from our Smitten Kittens Stamp Set, Captivated Kittens Stamp Se and Knead Kittens Stamp Sets and she uses sentiments from our Heartfelt Love Stamp Set. She also includes pretty papers from our Love & Chocolate Paper Pad and cut out circles and banners using our Circle Frames Die Set, A7 Frames & Banners Die Set and Banner Trio Die Set.

Here are a couple more photos of the banner:

Are you smitten with this project? Read on to get tips from Ellen on how she created it!

Here is a tutorial  from Ellen on how to create this Valentine Banner:

• (Left photo above): First I die cut all stamps and shapes. I used the Circle Frames Die Set and Heart Frames Die Set for the hearts and circles. I also used the Banner Trio Die Set and the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set  for the banner shapes.
  
  
• (Center photo above): I wanted text on all white hearts. To have some differentiation I changed the layout a little. On the one you can see on the 2nd picture, I layered a heart on top of the heart. I embossed the sentiments with white embossing powder using the Heartfelt Love Stamp Set. The banners are from the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. The heart is the smallest scalloped die from the Heart Frames Die Set. The tiny colored heart is from the Smitten Kittens Stamp Set.
  
  
• (Right photo above): On the other white hearts I simply stamped other sentiments on the same banners. The fact that the banners on the second picture are smaller, is because I cut them twice.

• (Left photo above): On all pink hearts I layered different shapes. On top of the banner from the Banner Trio Die Set there are two circle one from the Circle Frames Die Set and one from the Frames Squared Die Set. I also used a pattern paper from the Love & Chocolate Paper Pad.
  
  
• (Center photo above): Next I colroed the illustrations with a watercolor markers. All the illustrations you can see are from the Smitten Kittens Stamp Set, Knead Kittens Stamp Set and Captivated Kittens Stamp Set. Ps. Doesn’t look the dough like a cute blanket?!
  
  
• (Right photo above): The last step was to place the illustration on top of the circles.
  
  
  Here is a quick video so you can see how it looks when it's all assembled:

We hope you enjoyed this fun project by Ellen today and are inspired to decorate your space for Valentine's Day!  To see more creations by Ellen, you can visit her over at her blog Crafty Ellen

 

Valentine's Day Shaker Card by Amanda Wilcox

 

Valentine Shaker!

Today we are a gorgeous Valentine shaker card by Amanda that perfect for sending to a special loved one!

She started out by stamping the image a heart filled with smaller patterned hearts from our Heartfelt Love Stamp Set. She colored all the little hearts in reds, pinks and browns to mimic a box of chocolates! So yummy. Then she turned the image into a shaker shape by cutting it out with the Heart Frames Die Set and cutting a second heart frame and acetate window using the same die. She filled the shaker with tiny seed beads for a fun effect!  

She added the sentiment "xoxo", also from the Heartfelt Love Stamp Set, embossed in white onto a small oval that was cut out using our Oval Frames Die Set. What a fun special touch! She kept the card base simple with a red textured paper. She added the scalloped edge by using our Frames & Flags Die Set. She also added a bit of white paint splatters for a fun finishing touch! Keeping the background simple really lets that shaker shape pop out! 

We hope you have enjoyed this lovely card by Amanda today! To say hello to Amanda and see more of her awesome creations you can visit her over on her blog, Twiddler's Nook! 

 

You Make Life Sweeter Card by Maria Russell

 

You Make Life Sweeter!

Today Maria has created a card that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth!

This tasty creation features macarons from our Love & Chocolate Stamp Set. She colored them in fun bright pastels and cut them out using the coordinating Love & Chocolate Die Set. They definitely look yummy enough to eat!

Next, she used a white card base and added sparkly stars across the top using glitter paste with our Starfield Stencil. Across the card base she added two strips of patterned paper from our new Love & Chocolate Paper Pad. The paper with the macarons matches the stamp perfectly!   

For a finishing touch she added the sentiment, "You make life sweeter", also from the  Love & Chocolate Stamp Set. She embossed the sentiment onto a pink banner that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set. She also used a white gel pen to add fun details to the banner.

This yummy card would be perfect for sending as a Valentine, or it would work for letting someone know how sweet they are any time of year! To see more beautiful projects by Maria you can visit her over at her blog, Maria Russell Designs.
