Crafting Love: A Valentine Themed Card

Hello or welcome back, fellow crafters! Today, I’m excited to share a card design that combines creativity, love, and some fabulous products from Pajama Crafter Stamps. Let’s dive into the details!

Products Used:

  • Flippin’ Best Stamp Set
  • But First Coffee Flashcards Set
  • Various scraps from my stash for the background
  • Alcohol Markers
  • White gel pen & Colored Pencil Derwent

The Creative Process:

To set the stage for this Valentine-themed card, I pulled together various colorful scraps from my stash, creating a fun, cheerful background. The heart-warming “But First, Coffee” flashcard served as the perfect focal point for our lovable penguin.

For coloring, I utilized my trusty alcohol markers to bring the penguin to life, adding depth and dimension with a white gel pen and Derwent colored pencils. You’d be amazed at how just a few simple details can transform your piece!

Creative Coloring creates illusion of a “cookie”

Turning a Heart into a Cookie:

A fun twist on this design is the heart that the penguin is holding! With a little creative color placement, I turned this heart into a cookie! By adding a tiled dot pattern along the edge and using strategic shading to create a slightly darker hue, it looks just like a freshly baked treat. 🍪

Finding Joy Beyond Valentine’s Day:

I know some people don’t typically send Valentine cards, but there’s always an opportunity to share love and kindness with everyone around us. This card isn’t just for Valentine’s Day—it’s perfect for anyone special in your life, young or old. A simple card like this is certain to put a smile on anyone’s face! 😊

Tips for Easy Coloring:

  • The penguin design is simple—just a classic black-and-white color palette with a pop of pink for the cheeks and orange for the beak and feet.
  • Add a touch of pink and purple to the hearts, and earthy browns for the cookie and coffee/tea.
  • Remember, crafting is all about enjoyment! It’s just paper and ink, so have fun with it!
