How cute is this little box? I’ve made it a few times and always love how easy it is to construct. This is my Valentine’s version using the Sweet Talk designer series paper (DSP) from the new catalogue. The trick to making sure everything folds together easily is to round the corners of the flaps on the bottom and top closures.

There is an easy reference template below alongside the video tutorial. Do check it out and then share your creations in my Facebook group.

I just love how good this bag looks. It has sturdy handles as they are made out of two layers of cardstock. The bag is really simple to make but it really looks lovely. A beautiful bag to house a special gift for someone that makes your heart leap.

The Sweet Talk paper is divine. Yes, it is aimed at Valentine’s Day but I do remember that love is not just for Valentine’s Day. You can give a gift to someone you love at any time of the year. You don’t need a special occasion.

Always Together, Yours Forever – Special Card

Always Together, Yours Forever – Special Card – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Always Together, Yours Forever - Special Card - Forever & Always Stamp Set  - Independent Stampin' Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.
Always Together, Yours Forever – Special Card – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a beautiful but simple card, that is perfect for Valentine’s Day or a wedding anniversary. It is very easy to put together as I have used adhesive sheet on the back of the sentiment before I cut them out. The stamp set is Forever and Always. I love it as it has this big bold sentiment and matching dies. The dies will cut out the words love and always without the need for stamping as well. So versatile. The ribbon is the new Blackberry Bliss striped ribbon and it’s stunning.

measurements

  • Blackberry Bliss A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Whisper White – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Oh So Ombre! Designer Series Paper – 13.85cm X 9.5cm

Detailed Hearts Die – Valentine’s Day Card

I have this beautiful Valentine’s Day Card to share with you today. This uses the delicate Detailed Hearts Die. Oh my but’s so lovely and dainty. I love it!!

Detailed Hearts Die - Valentine's Day Card - Stampin' Up!
Detailed Hearts Die – Valentine’s Day Card – Stampin’ Up!

This die is part of the Valentine’s Day suite in the new catalogue. The colours in the paper are Flirty Flamingo and Real Red so I decided to design this card with the same colours.

The Detailed Hearts Die is all one die. Most of the little hearts pop out and I am saving these to use on a shaker card. You can hide the adhesive behind the few hearts that don’t pop out or use an adhesive sheet as I have done here.

I used the Scripty embossing folder on the real red piece to give it some added interest behind the die-cut. All in all, this is a very simple and easy card to make but really has that wow factor.

measurements

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Cardbase – (This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Real Red – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Flirty Flamingo – 14.35cm x 10cm

Punched Love Hearts Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

I’m back with this gorgeous punched love hearts card. This project uses products from the new Spring / Summer catalogue. Real Red is one of my favourite colours and here is paired with a colour I never use Flirty Flamingo. I think they go together rather well.

The designer series paper (DSP), “From My Heart” is beautiful. It has foiled hearts in both Real Red and Flirty Flamingo. The hearts are punched out with the duo pack hearts punch. I’ve fussy cut out the small hearts.

There are quite a few new punches in the new catalogue. I love this return to punches as they make for easy and simple crafting. They are easy to use in classes and require no additional machine to use.
