Pretty Pink Posh - Valentine Ghost

Hello there, happy Valentine's day!

I'm so happy to be back with this lovely Valentine card featuring a mix and match of items from Pretty Pink Posh, and to celebrate love, I went for a total monochromatic look with pinks and reds.

For the background, I started off by cutting a Pierced Heart panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and I covered the whole panel with spun sugar oxide ink. Next I added hearts to my panel using the Scattered Hearts Frame stencil along with worn lipstick and festive berries oxide inks. I splattered water all over the panel, and dried it with a paper towel. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water, and added more splatters to my panel using a slim brush, and then did the same with worn lipstick distress spritz.

Next I cut an Eyelet Rectangle panel out of textured red cardstock, and cut a 4,5 x 3,25 inches opening out of it to create a frame that I attached to my heart panel using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck my panel to a white card base.

I cut a cute Ghost Holder out of pearlescent vellum, and the heart banner pieces from Valentine Holder Additions out of red, pink and white cardstock. I assembled the heart banner using 1mm foam squares, stuck it to the ghost using liquid glue, and added a pair of large wiggly eyes to make the ghost extra cute. I cut "Love" from Valentine Holder Additions out of red cardstock and out of white cardstock, I attached the red word on top of the white one, shifting them a little bit to create a white border, and stuck the whole word to the ghost using 1mm foam squares again.

I attached my Ghost Holder to the Scattered Hearts Frame panel using foam squares, and added highlights and details to the heart banner using a white gel pen. I applied glossy accents to "Love" to make it super shiny, and white blizzard nuvo drops to the hearts to add extra sparkles.

For my greeting, I white heat embossed "You're my boo" from Valentine Ghost Friends on light pink cardstock, and trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die. I cut a scalloped banner out of dark pink cardstock, attached the light pink banner on top using 1mm foam squares, and finally stuck the whole banner right below the ghost using foam squares again.

Sunny Studio - Valentine Mermaids Shaker Card

Hey there,

I'm thrilled to be back on the Sunny Studio blog with this new underwater shaker card showcasing the lovely mermaids from Mermaid Kisses. I've featured them two times already, here and here, and since tomorrow is Valentine's day, I thought it would be fun to create Valentine mermaids.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. 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: • Mermaid Kisses - mermaids, seaweeds, tiny seashell, tiny starfish, small fish • Best Fishes - clown fish • Magical Mermaids - jellyfish, tiny fish, starfish, bubbles • Bighearted Bears - envelopes • Tropical Scenes - corals.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and created an underwater background using oxide inks. I first applied, from top to bottom, spun sugar and worn lipstick oxide inks. Next I placed a wave pattern stencil on my panel, and applied, from top to bottom, worn lipstick and festive berries oxide inks. I splattered water all over my panel, and dried it using a paper towel. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added more splatters using a slim brush, and then did the same with festive berries oxide ink.

Once my panel was dry, I used the Window Trio Heart Landscape die to cut three hearts out of my panel. Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches pink panel, placed my underwater panel on top, put the three hearts back on their original spots and glued them on the pink panel using liquid glue. I stuck a piece of acetate at the back of the underwater panel, added foam strips all the around the heart windows and on the rest of the panel, poured some iridescent heart confetti and a mix of polymer clay confetti inside each heart window, peeled the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached the pink panel to the foam strips to close my shaker panel.

Next I attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the bubbles and hearts on the envelopes to make them sparkle. For my greeting, I stamped "Fintastic" from Fintastic Friends on the middle heart using white stazon ink, I white heat embossed "Life with you is" from Country Carnival on red cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner, and stuck it right above "Fintastic" using foam squares.

Lawn Fawn - Unicorns & Rainbows Ta-Da Diorama

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back on the Lawn Fawn YouTube Channel & Blog with this sweet Valentine Ta-Da Diorama featuring a mix & match of rainbows and unicorns in a bright and colorful color palette I really love on Valentine cards.

I stamped my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Jet Black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • A Little Sparkle - unicorn, fairies • My Rainbow - unicorn, rainbow • Unicorn Picnic - unicorn, fairies, long cloud • All The Clouds - clouds, rainbows.

Next I worked on my Ta-Da Diorama and started off by cutting the back panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I colored it using the Cloudy stencil along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks, splattered water all over the panel and dried it using a paper towel, mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add more splatters to my panel, and did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I cut the side panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and colored them the same way. I covered the large sections with spun sugar oxide ink, and added a heart pattern using the Layered Hearts Background stencils along with worn lipstick and festive berries oxide inks. I splattered water on both sections and dried the panels with a paper towel, mixed a bit of Liquid Stardust with water and used a slim brush to add sparkling splatters to my panels, and did the same with lumberjack plaid oxide ink and with copic opaque white ink. And I created the same cloud pattern as the back panel on the middle section of each side panel.

I cut two insert pieces out of Acetate and the front panel out of a Candy Cane Lane paper, and I attached my images on the different panels using foam squares and liquid glue: directly on the back panel, on the acetate inserts and on the front panel. I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and white blizzard nuvo drops to the unicorns horns and fairies wings, and then assembled my Ta-Da Diorama.

I cut a Scripty Love out of Tomato cardstock and a Scripty Love Outline out of Tide Pool cardstock, I layered them both on top of each other, and attached the whole piece at the bottom of the front panel using 1mm foam squares. I white heat embossed "Happy Valentine's Day" from Magic Heart Messages on Pastel Pearlescent Vellum, cut it using the matching die and then cut it in half, and I attached each half of the heart on the side panels.

When I make a Ta-Da Diorama, I like to add handles on each side, so I cut two handles out of Tide Pool cardstock using a Double Slider Surprise die. I folded both pieces in half, and attached a handle on each end of the side panels using liquid glue. And to finish my diorama with even more cuteness, I cut two hearts out of Guava cardstock using a Hearts & Stars Skinny Tag die, and finally stuck a heart on each handle.

Pretty Pink Posh - Fringe Heart Card + Double Heart Shaker Tag

Hi there,

I'm happy to be back with a new set of card and shaker tag showcasing several items from the Pretty Pink Posh Valentine 2025 Release: Fringe Heart, Double Heart Shaker, Love Script and Scattered Heart Frame stencil. And once again, I was inspired by the super cute Hugs & Kisses confetti mix to pick my inks and colored cardstock.

I started off by creating the card and cut a large Eyelet Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I colored the whole panel with spun sugar oxide ink, and then created an extra fun pattern using the Scattered Heart Frame stencil along with oxide inks that coordinate with the Hugs & Kisses confetti mix: picked raspberry, salty ocean, tumbled glass, shaded lilac and wilted violet. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it using a paper towel, mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters on the panel, and did the same with liquid stardust for a touch of shine.

Next I cut the four Fringe Heart pieces out of different colored cardstock, and added a pattern to each element using the Mini Polka Dots stencil and matching distress inks. And just like the background, I added white splatters to each of those four pieces. Once these were dry, I assembled the heart using 1mm foam squares between each layer, and I attached the complete heart right in the middle of my Eyelet Rectangle panel using liquid glue.

I cut the Love Script out of holographic cardstock, and attached it right on the fringes using liquid glue. I also stamped and embossed "Always & Forever" from Sentiment Strips: Valentine in silver on white cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached it below "Love" using foam squares. I stuck my Eyelet Rectangle panel to a pink striped 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel using 1mm foam squares, and finally to a white card base using liquid glue.

*****

To make the shaker tag, I followed those steps:

1. Cut a Double Heart Shaker purple frame using the main die and whole heart die from the set

2. Cut a Double Heart Shaker panel out of acetate, and attached it at the back of the purple frame using liquid glue

3. Still at the back of the frame, added foam strips all around the whole heart, and at the back of the cropped heart as well

4. Poured a bunch of Hugs & Kisses confetti inside the whole heart frame

5. Cut another Double Heart Shaker panel out of acetate, and stuck it to the foam strips to close the shaker tag

6. Cut another purple frame, and attached it at the back of the tag to finish it nicely

I stamped and embossed "Valentine Greetings" from Valentine Greetings in silver on white cardstock, cut it using the coordinating die, and attached it right on the acetate heart using 1mm foam squares. I cut a cropped heart out of pink cardstock using a Double Heart Shaker die, added a pattern using the Mini Polka Dots stencil along with a matching distress ink, splattered white ink on it, and once it was dry I attached it to the front of my shaker tag using 1mm foam squares.

I cut a light blue handle using a Build A Stocking die, and attached that handle on the left edge of the cropped heart, created an additional small heart tag using Stitched Hearts and a tiny heart from Baby Mug Additions, and I tied this extra heart tag to my Double Heart Shaker using purple twine and beads from my stash.

Sunny Studio - Tulip Path Background Snippets

Hello there,

I'm back on the Sunny Studio blog with this lovely Valentine card showcasing the gorgeous Tulip Path Background stamp set that I mixed with two characters from Spring Showers to create a sweet scene at the park.

I started off by creating a fairly simple background and cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Quilted Hearts Portrait panel out of kraft cardstock that I attached to a brown panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to a white card base using liquid glue.

Next I stamped the Tulip Path Background twice on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. From the first panel, I cut a snippet featuring the tulips and the path using the fifth smallest Rounded Rectangle Window die, and from the second panel, I cut two snippets featuring the mill and the trees using the third and fourth smallest Rounded Rectangle Window dies. I colored those three little scenes using my Ohuhu markers, matted them on slightly larger white panels I cut using the third, fourth and fifth smallest Rounded Rectangle Mat dies, and then attached the three panels on the card base using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

I stamped additional images: clouds and butterflies from Tulip Path Background, and characters and kites from Spring Showers. I cut them using the matching dies, colored everything using my Ohuhu markers again, and stuck those images to the card using foam squares. I white heat embossed "You make my heart soar" from Balloon Rides on dark brown cardstock and cut it into a slim banner that I attached at the bottom left corner of my card. I stamped two bird silhouettes on the mill snippet using a stamp from Spring Scenes, applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the butterflies wings to make them sparkle, and finished the card with highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.

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.
