Free Stampin’ Positioner!!

Join my team February 3rd to March 2nd, and get a FREE Stampin’ Positioner!

Get crisp, clean stamped images every time with the Stampin’ Positioner. This easy-to-use stamping platform helps you stamp with precise alignment and even pressure every time. Grid marks on the plates keep your stamps straight while the rubber corners apply uniform pressure for optimal ink coverage. And it’s so easy—just hold the paper in place with the magnets, place and ink the stamp, then press down.

The Stampin’ Positioner also makes it easy to create multiples of projects, stamp Two-Step stamping images, re-stamp light or uneven images, and build repeating patterns.

Quick & Easy Valentine

Dies aren’t just for cutting! Today’s project is a quick and easy Valentine using a fun technique for the pieces you’d normally throw in the trash when you use your dies.

Made With Love Suite

Love is in the air, and the Made with Love Suite Collection has everything you need to bring it to your crafting! This collection includes heartfelt stamps, coordinating dies, and gorgeous Designer Series Paper. An embossing folder adds textured details for extra charm, and ribbon and loose embellishments provide the perfect finishing touches. Adorable heart-patterned treat bags are food-safe and perfect for packaging sweet surprises. 

Quick & Easy Valentine

How It’s Made

  1. First, cut Real Red cardstock to 5 ½” x 8 ½”.  Score at 4 ¼” on the long side and fold for card base.
  2. Next, cut a piece of Made With Love DSP to 4” x 4”, then cut diagonally from top right to bottom left.  Adhere to top and bottom of card front, leaving a 1/8” border on the outside.  This will leave a Real Red strip diagonally across the middle of the card.
  3. Cut a 4” x 4” piece of Basic White, and a 4” x 4” piece of scrap paper or cardstock.  Cut the large heart die from Endless Love Dies in the center of the scrap paper to create a mask.  Layer this over the Basic White and use masking or painter’s tape to secure the two together. (See Pic)
  4. Using your blending brush and a circular motion, add Bubble Bath ink to the Basic White cardstock, starting on your scrap paper and moving into the heart cut out.  I like to keep the center of the heart lighter than the outside for depth.  When you have the color you desire, remove the mask.  Note:  Apply the ink lightly.  It won’t look like you have a lot of color, but it will appear darker when you remove the mask.
  5. Finally, stamp the Happy Valentine’s Day stamp using Real Red ink across the blended heart.  Use your snips to cut out the heart, being careful where the words overlap the edge.  Attach to card front with Dimensionals.
  6. Embellish with Pearlized Faceted Circles.
  7. Cut a 4” x 5 ¼” Basic White panel for inside and decorate as desired.
