Reason To Celebrate Valentine's Day card

Hi Stamping Friends! Today I want to share a very simple Valentine's Day card. This is a quick and easy card, but is really soft and pretty with the help of the new Hearts of Love 3D embossing folder and Vellum.

When you run vellum through an embossing folder you get a soft impression. The embossed areas turn a little whiter. I layered the vellum over a card base of Pretty In Pink. I then added some heart embellishments from the Endless Love die set and the Reason To Celebrate stamp set for the sentiment. I anchored the images to the card with a strip of Designer Series Paper from the Made with Love pack.

I think the Reason to Celebrate stamp set is a great addition to any stamp collection. I love that there is a St. Patrick's Day! I will use this set for both cards and scrapbook pages.

You can see a step by step how to for this card at my YouTube Channel here:

The Made with Love designer series paper is going to get a lot of use in the next few months. It is of course great for Valentine's Day but it will be great all year too with the more geometric patterns and flowers.

The Hearts of Love embossing folder would be nice for weddings and anniversaries, as well as Valentine's Day.

Take a look at this fun sample from the catalog. The Hearts of Love embossing folder was inked up, then the Basic White Cardstock was added and run through the embossing machine to imprint the hearts with the pink ink and embossed at the same time. so fun!

The Endless Love dies will be great on scrapbook pages and cards, treat holders or home decor projects.

New Hope Love & Joy stamp set - Shaker cards

Take a look at a fun new stamp set called Hope Love & Joy! I think this is such a fun new set and I really like the many ways to use it. You can switch out the 'O' from the words and use the various images in it's place. The words have an Advent feel to them, so this would be a nice Christmas set too. The praying hands or support ribbon are good to use to send encouragement to someone going through an illness.

I opted to go with a Shaker Card for my first card with this set and with Valentine's Day so close at hand, I used the Love sentiment with the Heart dies. Also releasing this month is a new Valentine's Day Designer Series Paper pack and some super cute Loose Valentine's Assortment shaker elements.

There are so many new fun products releasing tomorrow, so you will want to be sure to check the new January to April mini catalog release, the new Online Exclusives release as well as the 3 new kits being released!

For this card I used Bubble Bath for the main card base. I used a pretty pattern from the Made with Love designer series paper for the background and an accent piece of wood grain patterned paper from the Country Woods designer series paper. Next I layered some Strawberry Slush Ribbon on the wood paper.

I stamped the main sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and Strawberry Slush.

After cutting out the heart with the die, I used a window sheet and some Foam Adhesive Strips to create the shaker element. I have a full how to with tips for this card on my YouTube Channel.

For this next version I used a pattern from the Florals In Bloom designer series paper pack on a Strawberry Slush card base. I also opted to use a warmer wood tone pattern from the Country Woods designer series paper pack.

I added some additional Loose Valentine's Assortment pieces to the front of the card as well.

Be sure to check back tomorrow to download the new January to April mini catalog! I will add it to the side bar of this blog as soon as I am allowed, not sure if that is at midnight tonight or early tomorrow.

Nuts and Bolts stamp set

I really enjoyed creating cards with the Nuts and Bolts stamp set. The images were so cute and fun to work with. The stamp set is great for kids but also for any gear-head or kid at heart.

The sentiments are great for Valentine's Day but also all year round with the ' Greetings Kind Human' and HB2U for Birthdays. I used absolutely every stamp in the set on my cards.

First up I made a copy of the catalog sample, with some minor adjustments. First, I embossed the robots and sentiment with Black Embossing Powder. Next I cut a tag for my sentiment from a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I used the area I cut from to sponge some ink over the robots in Granny Apple Green and Magenta Madness ink.

I stamped some random hearts in Magenta Madness around the background. I also added some Classic Mat Dots scattered around on the card.

I added another sentiment to the inside and stamped some hearts around the inside as well.

This next card has a Valentine feel with the addition of some punched out hearts. I colored the little robot with Stampin' Blends and added some designer series paper from the Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper pack.

The inside of the card has another little robot. So cute!

See how to make these first two cards in the video below.

Next up I wanted to make some cards that didn't feel so Valentine's Day-ish.

This card can be used for just about anything, you can add a birthday greeting inside, or a hello, thanks, just about anything will work.

The second card us a fun little Birthday card.

I used the little shadow stamp to make a sort of hashtag looking background with Gray Granite ink on Gray Granite cardstock. I used Denim Ribbon for a fun accent as well as some on the Classic Mat Dots.

This next card was fun. I wanted to make this little guy rusty so I added some Cinnamon Cider to the Balmy Blue, with just a tiny touch of Granny Apple Green.
