Card One: Cupcakes & Love
The first card is all about cupcakes and cuteness. I started by stenciling a white card base using Pretty Pink Posh Layered Chocolates Stencils and Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar & Kitsch Flamingo. In order to add a bit of texture, I cut the panel with Spellbinders Linear Touch Rectangles & Tag. This created a subtle frame around the outside edges of the card base.
Next, I added mats of Poppy & Tutu cardstock, topped with a white rectangle that was cut with a smaller Linear Touch Rectangle & Tag Die.
The star of the card is an adorable cupcake, stamped with Pretty Pink Posh Valentine Cupcakes. I used Ohuhu alcohol markers to color in the image. It is complete with fluffy frosting and a juicy strawberry.
To add some sparkle and texture, I used Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue-Star Dust as accents on & around the cupcake. They give the card a fun, celebratory feel without overwhelming the design. A sweet sentiment finishes things off, making this card perfect for a friend, child, or anyone who loves a cheerful Valentine.
Card Two: Box of Chocolates
The second card leans into timeless Valentine charm with a chocolate theme. I began with a Blush panel, textured with Spellbinders Petite Tuft 3D Embossing Folder. Then I cut a Truffle brown frame using Waffle Flower’s Nesting Piercing Ticket Frames Dies. Next, I used the same die, cutting it from a piece of Acorn cardstock, but I omitted the frame, and used the inner piece, stenciling it with Pretty Pink Posh Valentine Words and Distress Oxide Ink in Ground Espresso.
A row of chocolates takes center stage, colored in rich browns, soft pinks and earthy greens for a cozy, love-filled vibe. These were stamped using Pretty Pink Posh Sweet Chocolates stamp set and colored with Ohuhu alcohol markers. I layered the images slightly to create dimension.
Once again, I added Rangers Stickle Glitter Glue-Star Dust as accents for the perfect sparkly finishing touch. Paired with a heartfelt sentiment, this card feels classic, elegant, and just a little indulgent. Don’t these chocolates look almost good enough to eat?
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope these cupcake and chocolate Valentine cards inspire you to create something sweet for someone you love. Here’s another card for inspiration: A Sweet Love Bug
Until next time,
