Pretty Pink Posh - Valentine Trucks

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this new Valentine card featuring some super cute and colorful Pretty Pink Posh trucks I had so much fun to color in this lovely color palette.

I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the coordinating dies and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in my favorite Valentine color palette: aqua, pink and red.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Construction Trucks - trucks (middle + bottom), piles of pink dirt, shovels, hearts, traffic cones • Construction Additions - truck (top), danger sign, fences.

Next I worked on the background and card base. I cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, masked the edges off using washi tape, and covered the whole panel with spun sugar oxide ink. And I added large polka dots to my background using the Circle Grid stencil along with worn lipstick and festive berries oxide inks. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some lumberjack plaid oxide ink with water and added more splatters to my panel using a slim brush, and did the same with copic opaque white ink. I removed the washi tape, and set my panel aside to dry.

I cut three Eyelet Rectangles out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and created the same background on the three panels. I masked the scalloped edges off with washi tape, covered the panels with salvaged patina oxide ink, and then added a word pattern using the Valentine Words stencil along with peacock feathers oxide ink. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water and added more splatters to my panel using a slim brush, and did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I attached my slimline panel to a white card base, next the three Eyelet Rectangles on top using 1mm foam squares, and then the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I cut a Love Script out of red cardstock and out of white cardstock, I stuck the red one on top of the white one, and attached the whole piece on my panel using liquid glue. And I white heat embossed "I dig you" from Construction Additions on turquoise cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached that banner on the panel using 2mm foam squares.

To finish my card, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, applied glossy accents to the Love Script and white blizzard nuvo drops to the hearts.

Pretty Pink Posh - Valentine Ghost Friends

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back with this lovely Valentine cards showcasing the cutest Valentine Ghost Friends from Pretty Pink Posh. I love them all so I decided to feature the six of them on my card.

I started off by working on the background and card base. I cut a Xoxo Pierced panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and cut this panel to 4,5 x 3,25 inches. I masked the four edges off with washi tape, and colored the entire panel with spun sugar oxide ink. Next I added a cute heart pattern to my panel using the Half Hearts stencils along with worn lipstick and festive berries oxide inks. I splattered water on my panel and dried it using a paper towel, mixed some lumberjack plaid oxide ink with water and added more splatters to my panel using a slim brush, and did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I removed the washi tape, and once my panel was dry, I attached it to a large turquoise Eyelet Rectangle panel using liquid glue, next to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches aqua panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to a white card base using liquid glue again.

I stamped my Valentine Ghost Friends images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. 

Next I cut "Love" out of red cardstock and out of white cardstock using a Valentine Holder Additions die. I attached the red one on top of the white one, shifting them a little bit to get a white border, and stuck the whole piece right in the middle of my panel using 1mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed "You're my boo" from Valentine Ghost Friends on aqua cardstock, and trimmed it into a slim banner that I attached below "Love" using foam squares again.

To finish my card, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, applied glossy accents to "Love" to make it super shiny, and then added white blizzard nuvo drops to the hearts to make them all sparkle.

Sunny Studio - Party Pets Birthday Card

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back on the Sunny Studio blog with this extra colorful birthday card showcasing the adorable kitties from Party Pets. I wanted to feature all the cats from the set so I went for a slimline card, but there are also three super cute dogs in that set and I really look forward to having them on a future project!

I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in colors that match with the striped background. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Party Pets - cats, balloons, presents, party hats, party blower, small sentiment • Bighearted Bears - banners.

Next I created the background, and I wanted it to be very colorful and festive, so I picked this fun orange + yellow + green + light blue + blue color palette, and cut multiple strips out of colored cardstock using a Ribbon & Lace Border die. Next I cut an 8-1/8 x 3-1/4 inches white panel, covered it with double sided tape, and attached the colored strips. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, and then did the same with black ink. And once my panel was dry, I attached it to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base at an angle to add some extra fun to my card.

To ground each little kitty, I cut five polka dot circles of different sizes out of Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones + Polka Dot Parade pattern papers using the Staggered Circles die, stuck them all on my striped background using 1mm foam squares, and then attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I white heat embossed "Happy Birthday" from Party Pets on black cardstock, cut it using the matching die and attached it to the panel using 2mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed "The party stars meow" from Birthday Cat at the bottom of my panel, and finished my card with highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.

Lawn Fawn - Flippin' Awesome Valentine Card

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back on the Lawn Fawn YouTube Channel & Blog with this super duper adorable Flippin' Awesome card featuring the lovely pandas from I Heart Pandas + Add-On. I hadn't used the Flippin' Awesome die set in a very long time, so I really loved coloring all those cute images and building my interactive panels with them!

As very often, I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Jet Black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers, Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • I Heart Pandas + Add-On - pandas, bamboo, butterflies, rock, ladybug • Toucan Do It - tropical flowers and leaves • Wild Wolves - large rock • A Bug Deal + Hey Lady - ladybugs • Kanga-rrific Add-On - grass • Critters In The Jungle - vine.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Large Stitched Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, masked the stitched edges with washi tape, and first covered the panel with tattered rose oxide ink. Next I added a fun heart pattern using the Layered Hearts Background stencils along with saltwater taffy and worn lipstick oxide inks. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel. I mixed some worn lipstick oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add pink splatters to the panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I cut four small panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a Flippin' Awesome die. I masked the stitched edges and bottom sections with washi tape, and colored the upper part of each panel with oxide inks. Just like before, I started off with a layer of tattered rose oxide ink, and next I added a beautiful bamboo pattern to each panel using the Bamboo stencils along with saltwater taffy and worn lipstick oxide inks. I splattered water all over the panels and dried them with a paper towel, and I mixed some worn lipstick oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add pink splatters to the panels.

I cut my Flippin' Awesome panel out of Textured Canvas Aqua cardstock, assembled my interactive panel, and attached it at the very bottom of my Layered Hearts Background panel. Please check the video down below to watch the whole assembly process.

I cut a rectangle out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a Flippin' Awesome Add-on die, cut a Stitched Simple Wavy Border out of it, colored that border with cracked pistachio and lucky clover oxide inks, and I attached the border right above my Flippin' Awesome interactive panel using 1mm foam squares. And then I stuck all the images using a combination of 1mm and 2mm foam squares, 3mm glue dots and liquid glue.

For my greeting, I started off by stamping "Have a beary good Valentine's day" from I Heart Pandas on the last Flippin' Awesome panel. I cut the Scripty Xoxo out of Mermaid cardstock, and the Scripty Xoxo outline out of Vellum. I layered those two pieces on top of each other, and stuck my Xoxo, as well as a couple of extra images, on the last panel using liquid glue. I cut the handle decorative pieces out of Textured Canvas Aqua cardstock and Lobster cardstock and attached both pieces on the pull tab, and finished my card with highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.

Sunny Studio - Rounded Rectangle Windows Shaker Card

Hello there,

I'm back on the Sunny Studio blog with this lovely Valentine winter shaker card showcasing the Rounded Rectangle Windows die set. If you're a fan of shaker cards like me, you will love the different sizes of dies and all the possibilities to create multiple styles of shakers! I personally look forward to using this die set again on other projects! I'm also featuring one of my favorite stamp sets from the Fall & Winter 2024 release, Snowmen In Sweaters, and since Valentine's Day happens during the winter season, I thought it would be fun to mix those two themes and create a super cute and fun card.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. As always I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowmen, trees, snowflakes • Scenic Route - houses, lights • Bighearted Bears - envelopes.

I cut two large Rounded Rectangle Mat panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock and created the same landscape on both panels: a snowy border using tumbled glass and peacock feathers oxide inks, and the sky using spun sugar, worn lipstick and festive berries oxide inks.

Once they both were dry, I set one panel aside for later, and cut three Rounded Rectangle Windows out of the second panel using the third smallest die from the set, and stamped my "Love you snow much" greeting from Bighearted Bears and Feeling Frosty right below the windows. At the back of my window panel, I attached a piece of acetate using liquid glue, and added foam strips on the four edges of the panel and all around the windows as well. I poured crystal stones and red heart confetti inside each window, attached the houses on the first panel using liquid glue, and stuck that panel to the foam strips to totally close my shaker panel.

I attached my Rounded Rectangle Mat shaker panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white card base, and stuck the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I added a dot of glossy accents to each light, white blizzard nuvo drops to the snow on the trees, and finally highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Pretty Pink Posh - Build A Heart Card + Love Word Shaker Tag

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back with this set of Valentine card and shaker tag using products from the brand new Pretty Pink Posh Valentine 2025 release: Build A Heart, Love Word Shaker, Valentine Greetings and Upright Greetings: Valentine.

I started off by cutting a large Eyelet Rectangle out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I masked the four scalloped edges with washi tape, colored the panel with spun sugar oxide ink first, and then added a fun pattern using the Medium Polka Dots stencil along with kitsch flamingo oxide ink. I splattered water and dried the panel with a paper towel, mixed some picked raspberry oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add more splatters, I did the same with seedless preserves oxide ink, with copic opaque white ink and with liquid stardust, and once my panel was dry, I attached a piece of ribbon at the very bottom.

I cut all the hearts and decorative pieces out of colored cardstock, directly inspired by the Hugs & Kisses confetti mix. I assembled everything using liquid glue, and splattered white ink on all the hearts to give them more character. Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Build A Heart - three largest hearts and decorative pieces • Stitched Hearts - stitched hearts • Xoxo Border - small hearts • Baby Mug Additions - tiny hearts.

I cut three additional large hearts out of holographic cardstock and attached them at the back of the large colorful hearts using liquid glue, I stuck all the hearts on the panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, tied a bow using the same ribbon as before, and attached it on the left hand corner.

I stamped and embossed "Hugs & kisses" from Valentine Greetings in silver on white cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and attached it on the upper right hand corner using foam squares. Finally I attached my Eyelet Rectangle panel to a purple striped 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to a white card base using liquid glue.

*****

Next I created the shaker tag using the Love Word Shaker, and here is how I built it:

1. Cut a Love Word Shaker frame out of lilac cardstock using the main die and heart die from the set

2. Cut a whole Love Word Shaker panel out of acetate, trimmed the heart and attached it at the back of the purple frame right behind the heart using liquid glue

3. Added foam strips at the back of the frame all around the heart, and behind each letter as well

4. Poured some Hugs & Kisses confetti inside the heart frame

5. Cut another Love Word Shaker acetate panel, trimmed the heart, and attached it to the foam strips on the heart purple frame to totally close the shaker element

5. Cut another Love Word Shaker purple frame, and attached it to the foam strips to finish the back of the tag

6. Cut a light blue handle using a Build A Stocking die, and stuck it on top of the "L"

I cut the "L", "V" and "E" out of colored cardstock, added a pattern to each letter using the Mini Polka Dots stencil and matching distress inks, added white ink to each element, and once everything was dry, I attached the letters to my Love Word Shaker panel using 1mm foam squares. I also cut a small heart from Xoxo Border out of holographic cardstock, and attached it right in the center of the shaker heart.

I had one more Build A Heart heart that couldn't fit on the card, so I added a handle to that heart, and tied it to my Love Word Shaker tag using purple twine and heart beads from my stash. Next I stamped and embossed "I love you" and "Hugs & kisses" from Upright Greetings: Valentine in silver on white cardstock, and trimmed them into slim banners using Sentiments Strips dies. I cut two additional strips out of purple cardstock, attached them behind the white banners, and then attached both banners using liquid glue. And finally, to totally match with the card, I tied a bow using the same ribbon as before, and stuck it at the top of the banner strips using liquid glue.

Sunny Studio - Valentine Card Trio

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back on the Sunny Studio blog with this trio of Valentine cards showcasing a mix and match of items from different releases: the Background Basics 2 stamp set from the brand new Spring 2025 release, and three previously released big critters that I like to use all year long for any kind of theme.

I started off by cutting three Strathmore bristol smooth panels using the largest Scalloped Square 1 Small die, I masked the edges off on each panel using washi tape, and created three identical backgrounds in three different color palettes. For the pink panel, I covered the panel with spun sugar oxide ink first, and then stamped the Background Basics 2 chicken wire pattern using kitsch flamingo oxide ink. For the purple panel, I covered the panel with shaded lilac oxide ink first, and stamped the pattern using wilted violet oxide ink. And for the aqua panel, I covered the panel with salvaged patina oxide ink first, and stamped the pattern using peacock feathers oxide ink.

Next I mixed white ink with water, and splattered that mix on the three panels, and then sprayed matching distress spritz on each panel to add shine and sparkles. Removed all the washi tape and set my panels aside to dry.

I stamped all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in shades of gray for the characters, and in one of my all time favorite color palettes for the other images: aqua, pink and purple.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Big Bunny - bunny, tulips, envelopes, bows • Big Panda - panda • Holiday Hugs - bear, heart pillow, gift • Special Day - hearts • Balloon Rides - banners.

I cut three 4,75 x 4,75 inches panels out of Polka Dot Parade papers, attached them to a card base, and then stuck each scalloped panel to its matching card base using 1mm foam tape. I attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, applied a bit of white blizzard nuvo drops on each heart for more sparkles, and then cut three Brilliant Banners 1 for my white heat embossed "Happy Valentine's Day" greetings from Bighearted Bears. And that's it! I hope you like this lovely trio of Valentine cards.
