Nothing like a little shopping to cure the Winter blues!
A Sweet Alexandra Renke Children Pair Valentine…
Hi everyone! Hope your February is full of red cardstock, dies, stamps and papercrafting stuff! lol I purchased two packs of this Be Loved pattern paper a year ago or was it two years and I’m still on the first pack! EEK! Hey, the 2nd pack might be vintage someday! hehe
It worked up so cute with this sweet die from Alexandra Renke called ‘Children Pair’. It was hard to type that because that is not how I would title something! lol
Cindy at Starlitstudio.net has an amazing selection of Alexandra Renke dies, papers and washi tape… oh I love them ALL! If you haven’t already ‘window’ shopped there, you NEED to! ❤
I die cut three of the kids and glued them together.
Did any of you see the new product that’s coming out in March? It’s called a glue sponge!!! Well, I couldn’t wait and had to try it myself. I know, you’re not surprised. I will buy the ‘real’ thing too. Anyway, I used one of the small snap type, airtight, lunch box containers and a sponge. I wet the sponge with our RO filtered water, squeezed it out really good, then applied a few coats of PVA glue that Cindy carries in her store HERE and I love this glue. It didn’t take near as much as I thought it would!
Yesterday two of our grandsons were making Valentines here and wow did it work slick for gluing small hearts to their cards. Good for their motor skills using a tweezers too. lol I can’t wait to use it for more intricate dies! YAY for tools!
Heart die HERE.
A super simple flat Valentine but sweet as can be! Hope I inspired you to dig into that pattern paper stash and see what you can come up with!

Two poppystamps Shaker Heart Cards…
So I had to just leave off the word valentines and insert a heart on this card… hehe So cute!
I used the poppystamps new Shaker die for this card, the largest one in the set.
Then the large frame is from the Wrapped Stitched Heart Frame die set.
The Heart dies from the Have A Heart die set work perfect for backing the frames. I’ll link you up below if you want to see the dies or shop.
The little heart in the center is a new Memory Box die, Bundle Hearts and the arrow is from the new Memory Box Cupid With Bow die set.
A little kraft color cord and a few Doodlebug Sprinkles to finish it up. Cute! Now if there were just chocolates inside! haha
Next is a paper candy heart version using the smaller Shaker Heart from this die set…
This was a great way to use up some cardstock scraps! I stamped the sentiments from the Best Life Typewriter Sentiments stamp set.
The matte Doodlebug Sprinkles are pretty flat, so another easy card to mail.
The addition of bakers twine…makes me smile! lol
Both cards are A2 size.

Memory Box Pinpoint Heart and Winged Heart Card….
Hi everyone! Coming to you from the freezing winds of Iowa today! Thankful to be inside and warm-ish!
I’m so happy with how this turned out…Clean and Simple but great colors! I started with the new Memory Box Pinpoint Heart die cut in a 4.25 x 5.5 in. white cardstock panel. I stamped the sentiment ‘sending love’ from the Memory Box So Many Things To Love stamp set in the MISTI using Black Archival Ink from Ranger.
The Memory Box Woodland Branch die is an older one but one that stands the test of time! A keeper and still available! Links below.
The Memory Box Winged Heart die is new…I die cut it in red and teal and inked it with a little Peacock Feathers Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool.
I inked the A2 size card base with a little Peacock Feathers also and spattered with white ink. It didn’t show up as good as I wanted so I came back in and put white gel pen over the dried white spatters.
I used mounting tape strips on the backside of the Pinpoint Heart panel to adhere it to the cardbase. Glue on both ends of the branch adhere it to the top. Mounting tape under the heart and wings to stick it to the cardbase.

poppystamps cards…Whittle Snowman and Another Ribbon Heart Frame…
Hi everyone! I guess I wasn’t finished playing with the new poppystamps Ribbon Heart Sidekick Frame die! lol Here’s another one and I added the poppystamps Birch Stitched Frame from the last release of 2018.
The tree needed hearts! YES!
Give this to your favorite lumberjack! haha
I used various heart dies for the layers. The new Love Jotted Script die works out fun here and a sentiment stamped from the Best Life Typewriter Sentiment stamp set.
The red is redder in real life. I forgot to notice when I was editing the pictures. Not sure what I would’ve done different anyway! lol
Linking my Valentine ‘love’ card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Have a Heart
My next card isn’t a Valentine but it could be! I added a heart for good measure.
This picture captures the color the best and shows the touch of dimension I added by mounting the new poppystamps Whittle Snowman with foam tape. I layered 3 of the Whittle Wood Frames together and layered a white cut and a green cut of the poppystamps Tree Line Hill die. I colored his cap with Copics!
A sweet thank you, from the Best Life Typewriter Sentiments set, stamped in Coffee Archival ink from Ranger. The frame and card base are ink blended with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the mini ink blending tool.
I think the Studio Rectangle Layers and Shaker Rectangle Frames dies are discontinued but just for a heads up, that’s what I used for the layers.
It just dawned on me that this snowman thank you would be a good Valentine for our mail carrier! She’s grrrrreat! (and it’s 3˚ here today! eek!)
I have some other cards started so I’ll leave you with this for now and be back to share again later! ❤
Happy papercrafting to you!
