Valentines - Right as Rain

Spellbinders Be Bold Color Block Love You

Hello from the cold and snowy Pacific Northwest. Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card created with the recently-released Be Bold Color Block Love You die set at Spellbinders. The Be Bold Color Block collection features die sets with which you can quickly and easily create bold and graphic greetings. I previously shared cards created with a Christmas die from the collection in this post.

With the Be Bold Color Block Love You die set, I cut the “LOVE” letters from colored paper in red and three shades of pink. I adhered the letters to Snowdrift cardstock for stability. I die-cut the “you” from white glitter cardstock which I also adhered to Snowdrift cardstock.

I taped the “LOVE” letters on the back and attached the assembly to blue paper (from the Echo Park Celebrate Winter collection).

Spellbinders December 2021 Clear Stamp + Die of the Month Club

Hello crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a Valentine’s Day card created with the Spellbinders December 2021 Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Club – “Color Outside the Lines.” The letters also spell “Hello.” Read more about this club here.

I die-cut the Large Die of the Month diamond-shaped strips from Snowdrift and Brushed Gold cardstock.
I dry-embossed the red cardstock base with the Sun Rays folder.
I stamped the Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Club sentiment letters in black ink, cut them with their coordinating dies, and colored the flowers with Copic markers.
I adhered the assembled strips to the dry-embossed base. I started with the center strip and worked up and down from there for a total of seven strips.
I die-cut a vellum circle to which I adhered the letters. I adhered the circle assembly to the card with glue behind the letters.

Spellbinders CAS Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine created with a Spellbinders die set and glimmer-foiled sentiment. This took just minutes to create.

I die-cut the Forever Love Hearts top layer from gold foil and the bottom from red cardstock and glued the pieces together.
I glimmer-foiled the More Sentiments “XOXO” in gold on white cardstock and cut it with a die in the Holiday Sentiments set.
I added the elements to a card base of foiled patterned paper.

Cottage Cutz Gardening Mouse

Hello! Today I am sharing a garden (gardening)-themed Valentine.

I die-cut the pieces of the Cottage Cutz Gardening Mouse from textured cardstock, cardstock colored with Distress Inks, and silver foil. I used the Fishing Gear set to cut the mouse’s eyes.
I glued the mouse, tools, and dirt.
I stamped the garden-themed sentiment on white cardstock and colored the background with Distress Ink.
I cut the sentiment panel with a now-retired dotted rectangle.
I added the panel to a patterned paper background and the assembled mouse to the sentiment panel.
