Part 1
In this part I will be sharing 3 projects using our new release stamp sets - "You and me & Thinking of you". I have one window card, One gift box and a triple fold card (my favourite).
Project 1 - Window floating card
1. I stamped and fuzzy cut the image. I coloured using non traditional /non valentine colour.
2. I took a card base measuring 51/2 by 6 inches.
3. I trimmed some of the card base in the middle. This will help in creating a floating window.
4. I added some patter paper to the outside and inside of the card,
5. I added the image to the front of the card using tacky glue (or any strong adhesive).
6. I applied glue only to the top and bottom of the image. Leaving the middle free. In this case to the shoes and their head. When the card is open, it shows the window and the image floating.
7. To finish the card, I added sentiment and embellishments.
Project 2 - Gift box
1. To make this gift box, I took a cardstock measuring 8 x 8 inch and and scored at 2 inch on all sides. Made a slit at the conjunction of the scored lines and using strong adhesive I pasted them on the inside to turn it into a box. I made the lid of the box the same way using 7 x 7 inch card stock.
2. Once I finished the box and lid, I added some pattern paper. Distress them using antique linen distress ink. I added some gemstones and lace to the box.
3. To decorate the lid, first I added a piece of burlap and added some granular paste and heat set it. I added a piece of chipboard. I cut and added a piece of floral design (from pattern paper) using strong adhesive. I added some distress spray before proceeding to the next step.
4. For the next step, I added some flowers and leaves using tacky glue. I added some layered die cuts and a sentiment along with the image and some embellishment.
Project 3 - Triple fold card
1. I took a cardstock measuring 12 x 6 inches and scored them at 4 inch and 8 inch.
2. I added some pattern paper to the card (12 x 12 pattern paper will suffice to decorate the card)
3. For the front of the card, I added a corrugated piece and piece of lace. To decorate it more, I added some flower and layered die cut. I added a sentiment on top of the die cut and added some embellishments.
4. For the inside of the card, I kept the center free and added heart die cuts to the other sections along with sentiments.
5. I used the cute swing image from thinking of you stamp set and coloured and fuzzy cut. I added this piece of image to the inner center of the card.
6. To finish the card, I added some embellishments.

Part 2
Here, I will be sharing 2 cards using old stamp sets (fairy tale sets). These two are lovely cute sets. One is Beauty and the Beast - Tale as old as time and Cinderella - You are so enchanting.
Card 1 - Chabby Chic card
1. For this card, I used Cinderella image. This stamp set is not a love set but you can turn it into a valentine day card. I coloured the image along with a little mouse and added the image to a circle die cut which I ink using ocean waves ink and kept it ready.
2. I did a lot of die cutting for this card. I used die cuts like window, flowers, leaves and a curved border die.
3. I love to use corrugated paper and burlap lace in such projects.
4. I added some flowers, leaves and embellishments.
5. To finish the card, I added the image and a sentiment from the set. This sentiment is super cute and makes it a different valentine card.

1. To make the spinner card, I used Belle and Beast from the set. I coloured them with the traditional colours.
2. I die cut the card base and another piece of card using circle die cut. I also die cut a heart and kept it aside.
3. I used a grey thread here to make the spinner element. I sandwiched the thread between the heart die cut and belle image. On the other side of the heart die cut, I pasted the beast.
4. I then opened the card base and positioned the spinner element to the center. To keep it in position, I used some washi tape. Then, I added some double sided tape and cut the extra thread.
5. I embossed the upper layer cardstock using Anna Griffin embossing folder. I added this piece to the top of the card.
6. To finish the card, I added the sentiment and embellishment.
7. To make the spinner element, just twist the image for a few times and close the card. The image will spin when the card is opened.
