I have a beautiful item for you today; it is my Key To My Heart Valentine Box. Isn’t it stunning? I recorded a video to instruct you on how to make the Valentine box. It’s my very first video, and being a beginner at developing videos, it’s a little rough, and it took about two weeks to develop. :-(( Regardless, I got it completed and I hope you enjoy it.

Key To My Heart Valentine Box

Some of the key Stampin’ Up! Products I used are the Hearts Collection Framelits, Red and Silver Glimmer Paper, Key and Heart Trinkets, Whisper White and Real Red Cardstock, Basic Gray Satin Ribbon, and the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits Die.

Regardless of the products I used, the purpose of this post is to provide instructions on making the Key To My Heart Valentine box itself.

Did you notice the Love Impressions Designer Series Paper from last year around the box sides? I used My Digital Studio (MDS) and the Love Impressions digital download to print the paper! MDS is a must-have product!

I placed inside the box a heart made with White Waffle Paper and a Heart Framelit.

Enjoy the Key To My Heart Valentine Box video, and feedback is welcome!

Stampin Up Adorning Accents Embossing Folders Valentine Card

Are you having fun using the new Stampin Up Adorning Accents Embossing Folders?  I used the one with multiple hearts to embellish the top and bottom of my card, in addition to three of the hearts in the card’s centerpiece.

I used one of the stamps from the upcoming Sale-A-Bration, Fresh Vintage Stamp Set (125117), to create the background upon which the centerpiece sits. The centerpiece was made by using the Stampin’ Up! Heart-to-Heart Punch and the new Embosslits Fashionable Hearts, and they are embellished with Crystal Effects. I randomly attached the hearts onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and drew the swirls, curls and leaves in black ink. The curls and swirls are embellished with Basic Rhinestones, and the leaves are embossed with Silver Stampin’ Embossing Powder.

The cardstock and designer series paper used on the card front is Cherry Cobbler Cardstock and Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Series Paper. Lastly, I added two pieces of the Cherry Cobbler Scallop Dots Ribbon near the top and bottom of the card. I hope you enjoy this card!!

Bigz Element Bird Die Valentine Card

Isn’t the new Stampin’ Up! Bigz Elegant Bird Die adorable? I used him for the primary element on this Valentine Card. The paper used on the first card layer is one of the designs from the Sweet Shop Designer Series Specialty Paper, which dictated my color choices.

Bigz Element Bird Die Valentine Card

I cut out the bird using Pool Party Cardstock and covered it with the new White Waffle Paper to give it some texture. Then I embellished one wing with the Adorning Accents Hearts Embossing Folder.  I embossed both wings with Iridescent Ice Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  Around the bird’s neck I hung a Trinket Heart that contains a “Be Mine” sentiment from the Sale-A-Bration Outlined Occasions Stamp Set (126016).  It is difficult to see as I added Crystal Effects, which sometimes distorts lettering.  Maybe the picture below will give you a better view. And the next picture shows the added hearts onto the bird’s tail features (did you notice that?).

The tiny hearts are from what remains as cutouts after using the Pinking Heart Border Punch. I thought why waste them, so I added them here and there on the card. If you enjoyed the card, please leave a comment.

Stampin Up Hearts Framelits Valentine Card

Are you enjoying the new Stampin Up Hearts Framelits? Aren’t they fantastic? Or maybe you haven’t ordered them yet! Please do; you’ll love them! I used one when developing this Valentine Card.

Stampin Up Hearts Framelits
 

I water colored the primary element on this card – the stamped bird and flowers heart-shaped image that is from the gorgeous stamp set, Take it to Heart. I used one of the Stampin Up Hearts Framelits to cut out the stamped image. I used the same framelit to cut out the heart in the center of the card’s first layer, the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, and then slipped the water-colored piece inside.

The banner that holds the sentiment is also from the Take it to Heart stamp set. The sentiment, “Be My Valentine”, is from the Sweet Cake stamp set, and the small heart stamp from the Take it to Heart stamp set was used to stamp Cherry Cobbler ink onto the card’s first layer. The card base was made with Island Indigo Cardstock. The hearts in the four corners of the card were cut out with the Heart to Heart Punch and embellished with the new hearts Adorning Accents Embossing Folder. I hope you enjoy today’s feature!

This picture provides a closeup of the water-colored bird and flowers.

If I have to say it myself, I think this Stampin Up Valentine Card is beautiful. The center piece of the card features Stampin’ Up!’s new Framelits Dies, the Labels Collection from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  Are you enjoying your Stampin’ Up! 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog?  Isn’t it full of beautiful stamps, papers, dies, and embellishments? Today’s card features one of the Occasions Mini products and others from the upcoming Sale-A-Bration Catalog that debuts on January 24th.

Stampin Up Valentine Card
I used two sizes of the labels framelits dies to cut Silver Glimmer Paper*, Whisper White, and Basic Black frames. After cutting the Basic Black frame, I used paper snips to cut off about an 1/8″ around the frame. This gives the appearance that I used three separate framelits dies. The Silver Glimmer Paper* behind the Basic Black frame gives the centerpiece a nice pop.The centerpiece’s floral image (beneath the hearts) on the Whisper White frame is from the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set (125117-Clear) from the upcoming Sale-A-Bration Catalog. This stamp set is FREE when you purchase $50 of Stampin’ Up! products (taxes and shipping apply) during Sale-A-Bration. Atop the floral image are three hearts, one of which is made with the Silver Glimmer Paper*, and two made from stamp images in the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set. These images were stamped with Real Red Ink and embellished with Basic Rhinestones. Behind the centerpiece is a piece of Real Red Card Stock that is embellished with the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.The sentiment “Be Mine” is from another Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set, the Outlines Occasions (126016), which is also FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch to create the embellishment on the left side of the card, and a ribbon strip and bow made with retired Stampin’ Up! ribbon on the right side. Enjoy!
*The Silver Glimmer Paper is a “carry over” from the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog.

I hope you have enjoyed this Stampin Up Valentine Card!
