3 Hearts ?

Today I am sharing three Valentine cards I made

using new release stamps

First up is the 'Open Heart' (#S995) stamp

and using one of the words from the Inside out stamps

all embossed in red - then added the ribbon and flowers

Next up - Pretty in pink?

 Kept this one simple - sponged the heart shape onto white cardstock.

Using the Inside Out: Love is in the Air stamp (#SS158)

some bling around the edged.

On the inside - LOL - gotta luv it.

Next up using 'All About Love' (#S979) stamp

Wining with my Friends

 Do you Wine with Friends? I certainly do! Laughing and spending time with friends is central to my core! Our Wine Together stamp works well with one of the Wine Set stamps and the embossed hearts background. Both are stamps from Technique Junkies.

Puppies in Love

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  My favorite stamp of 2023 is this adorable Puppy Love from Technique Junkies.  Who can resist those sweet little faces???  

I made this clean and simple card by stamping the Puppy Love with a black hybrid ink onto some smooth white cardstock.  I randomly picked one of the puppies and colored it with blue Copic markers and the heart with a red Copic marker.  The sentiment is from the Inside Out: Love is in the Air set.  I stamped that and added a red mat and then adhered it next to my colored puppy.  Then I adhered the panel to a red card base.

How cute is that?  I'm all set for my anniversary card to my hubby this year!  :-)

True Kitty Love

 Our True Love stamp works great with Cats AND Dogs. Here I used it with the Kitty Love Background. This card is so simple to make, but it says it all, doesn't it?

Wine Together Bottle Tag

 

 Who says you have to create a card with your stamps!?! I used the Wine Together stamp twice for this wine bottle tag. Your friend could keep the little charm as a keepsake because it's made on shrink plastic!

Puppy Love

 Hello Junkies!

This stamp is so so so so so CUTE!  I love all the little puppies.  I stamped the image once onto the pink cardstock.  Then again onto white cardstock.  I used copics to color the puppies.   I then trimmed the image so the bottom half would be in color and the top half is tone on tone. 

So much love...one little stamp!!

Underneath the Moon with Tutorial

 Hello all, 

I have a love/hate relationship with embossing powder.  It can be challenging to get a clear image without flecks all over.  Well... What if you want the flecks?  Check out this technique where I turn the flecks into stars on my evening sky card. You can see the video here

Glittery Puppy Love

 

Hi Junkies, it's Holly posting today.  I absolutely love this new Puppy Love background stamp from Technique Junkies!  It's so cute!  Those puppies holding those hearts just makes me melt!

I stamped the Puppy Love with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto white cardstock and let it dry.  Meanwhile, I partially inked up the sentiment from the Inside Out: Love is in the Air set and stamped it onto white cardstock.  The sentiment actually says "I Love You More Than Coffee," but I only inked up the "I Love You" portion. 

I trimmed down the sentiment, and then cut another layer slightly larger from white cardstock.  I pulled out this Blushing Carmine glitter marker and colored up this layer before adhering it behind the sentiment.  Then I trimmed some black cardstock to layer behind this glittery sentiment.

When the Puppy Love panel was completely dry, I used the Blushing Carmine and the Golden Ochre glitter markers to color in the hearts.  It's so sparkly!  Then I used the Blushing Carmine glitter marker to color the edges of a white cardstock layer to go behind the Puppy Love panel before I glued it all to a black card base.

Perfect wife?

Hi Junkies! (Chris here today!)

I love cards that make people laugh.  I also love chocolate.  What could be better?  

When I was creating this card I wanted to use soft colors.  I picked purple so it wouldn't feel like a Valentine's day card.  It could be used anytime of year.  I accented the card with white clay hearts.

More Than Coffee

Hi Junkies!

Valentine's Day is a little less than a month away.  Do you have any special plans?  My husband and I keep it simple.  I always make him a card.  He is a huge coffee drinker.  I thought I would do something coffee themed this year.  The new Inside out Set is making that so easy!  I love how this project turned out.  What do you think? Click here to watch video

Happy Crafting, 

Chris

Ombre Underneath the Moon

 The Reverse Dotted Hearts in white over an Ombre background created with Catherine Pooler Ink is a great way to showcase the Underneath the Moon stamp. This is a great combination of colors for the more masculine family members, who might have a thing about not getting pink cards (you know who they are...). Both are here:

All About Love Shaker Card

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  It's crazy to think that Valentine's Day is coming up next month.  Time just seems to be flying by!  I have a really cute shaker card to share with you today that would be perfect for giving to a loved one.

I used the new All About Love background stamp from Technique Junkies and embossed it with a sparkly white powder onto some pink cardstock.  Then I placed some clear packaging plastic over this panel and taped three of the plastic edges onto the back, leaving one end open.  I poured some fun pink, red, white, clear, and silver sequins into the open end over the front of the embossed panel, and then taped the plastic end to the back of the panel.  With the shaker panel complete, I glued this to a white card base.  Next, I die cut some white hearts and glued them to the front of the shaker card.  I added some sequins to some of the hearts and wrote a note on the inside of the card.  

Technique Junkies released some great new stamps that are perfect for Valentine's Day and for weddings and anniversaries.  Check out the new release stamps HERE.  You can find the All About Love background stamp HERE.  Don't forget to use this code, TJ10Holly, to save 10% off your order.  Have a wonderful day!

 

Foiling Game Changer!

 Hello Junkies! 

It is Chris popping on today to share some exciting news! Foiling is a huge trend in stamping. I love the look but I wasn't excited about purchasing a bunch more dies. I found WoW bonding powder. I thought it would be awesome to try. The powder is really fine. Finer than most embossing powder. Check out the results in this video. Look out world... I can foil any of my stamps!

Open Heart

  

I used three Technique Junkies stamps to create this romantic card. I used a multiple stamping technique to get that watery effect with both Distress Inks and Distress Oxide and a stamp off technique to get the lighter background.  Process video is below.

I love you more than coffee?

I have had this paper forever! It works so well with the coffee sentiment pair from Inside Out: Love is in the Air set! The inside of the card is decorated with the Coffee Stains stamp. The paper was lightly colored with colored pencils.

I hope my husband never makes me prove this one... Pat
