Online Exclusives Valentine Kisses Bundle | December | 2025 Artisan Design Team

This month's assignment for Group 2 of the 2025 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team is to create projects using the @stampinupofficial Online Exclusives Valentine Kisses Bundle.  

While you are all finishing up your Christmas cards and crafts, it's a good time to consider your Valentine's Day creations. The Valentine Kisses Bundle is the perfect bundle to create those Valentine's Day creations! 

 Add a sweet touch to your Valentine cards and scrapbook pages with the Valentine Kisses Bundle. It features a stamp set and coordinating dies you can use together to create a sweet kissing booth, complete with a bear, hearts, and flowers. This bundle makes it easy to design unique cards for Valentine’s Day and more.

For my first card, I utilised the heart die from the die set to create a CAS Valentine's Day card. I layered some of the smaller circles from the Stylish Shapes dies and then layered the heart from the Valentine Kisses dies for a fun layered look. The circles and hearts have a fun stitched edging, and when combined, they give a fun, coordinated look.

My second card uses the super cute bear image, coloured with the Stampin' Up! Watercolour pencils for a bright and bold card. Super fun and super cute!

Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop | From My Heart

Hello there stamping friends. Welcome to the first official Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop for 2020. I'm so excited for this day, that it has finally arrived and I'm super excited to be sharing my creations with you for this year.

International readers please use the translate feature to translate to your language.

For our first official blog hop for the 2020 Artisan Design Team we are sharing all the love with the gorgeous products from the From My Heart Suite which can be found in the 2020 Stampin' Up! Jan - June Mini Catalogue, Pgs. 8 - 10.

This stunning suite is full of the gorgeous Real Red and Flirty Flamingo colours and is so very perfect for Valentines Day cards, packaging, treat bags and more with fun and playful products.

While the suite is full of red and pink colours I wanted to team the suite products up with Smoky Slate and Basic Black to tone down those 'pretty colours' for projects that you could give to your boyfriend or Husband with out being too in your face pink and red.

For my card I started with the Smoky Slate card base and then layered on that some of the From My Heart Specialty DSP and then some more layers of Smoky Slate. I stamped repeatedly the word 'Love,' from the Heartfelt Stamp Set and then flicked over that the brush tip end of the Smoky Slate Stampin' Write Marker.

How gorgeous is the Heart Doily? These come in Colour on the front - Flirty Flamingo and Real Red, and then white on the other side which you can colour to use on any project you desire. Layered over the Heart Doily is a Vellum heart punched out using the Heart Punch Pack Punches, some more DSP, Real Red 3/8" Double- Stitched Satin Ribbon, Linen Thread and Silver Metallic Thread and then Happy Valentines Day Heart also from the Heartfelt stamp set which I heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on Basic Black cardstock.

My mini white Pizza Box has been created in a similar way to my card. This makes the projects a bit 'matchy-matchy', which I love and really adds to the coordination of the card and the treat box. I just changed up the DSP in the box as to what I used on the card. The colours in both DSP patterns are the same so you still get that colour coordination but by changing up a few little things you get a bit of a different look.

Both projects were finished off with the super pretty and super gorgeous From My Heart Faceted Gems, which are so perfect to finish off any project when you want that added bling.

I hope that you like both my projects today and you have been inspired to get creating with this stunning suite. It still may feel like Valentine’s Day is a while away, we are all still getting over Christmas, right? But if you want to make something special for your Valentine, you may want to start now so that you have something made in time. 

While these products do lean towards Valentine's Day, you don't have to exclusively use them just for that day. Make a project for your best friend or even for your children to convey how much you love them. I'm sure they would appreciate a card or treat from you using these products too.

  The Artisan Design Team will be hopping again in a few weeks so be sure to check back often. Make sure that you follow us on our blogs, on Instagram, on Facebook, on all the socials so that you don't miss a thing! Let's get social!

 The so very amazing and super talented Stesha Bloodhart is next up on the hop. I'm sure you will 'love' her so very gorgeous projects.

Stampin' Up! Artisan Corporate Blog Post | All My Love Valentine's Gift Packaging

Hello there stamping friends! Welcome to my first Stampin' Up! Artisan Corperate Blog Post for 2019.

All My Love

Hello stamping friends.  With Valentine’s Day just around the corner I thought I would share some gift packaging ideas using some of the Packaging Basics from the 2018 – 2019 Annual Catalogue, found on pg.’s 192 – 193, teamed up with the gorgeous products from the All My Love Suite from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue, pg.’s 4 – 6, really incorporating the Forever Lovely Stamp Set (148624) and the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies (148527). 

These gift packaging ideas are a gorgeous way to share some love to your loved one this coming Valentine’s Day mixing some of the old with the new.

The first is the gift bag using the Striped Treat Bags (144255). These white treat bags have a gold foil stripe and are food safe, so you could even bake your significant other their favourite treat and present it to them in a beautifully decorated treat bag. To die cut the heart out of the bag, and so as not to cut through both layers of the bag, I put the largest heart inside the bag and had the die facing up on the Big Shot Platform (142802) and then placed the Standard Cutting Pad (113475). I then die cut a heart from the All My Love Designer Series Paper (148576) and inlaid that in the heat outline in the Striped Treat Bag. To hold all the layers together I adhered a piece of Whisper White Cardstock (106549) inside the treat bag, just so there was something to adhere the die cut heart to. Alternatively, you could just die cut the heart out and then adhere it to the front of the bag. I just wanted the die cut pieces to be flush on the bag.

The next packaging project uses the Mini Pizza Boxes (144645). These are also food safe and are a perfect size for holding a cookie but it is also the perfect size for things like jewellery, just saying.  Because I’m such a sucker for anything with stripes, especially the large stripes in the Striped Treat Bags, I cut some up and used them as DSP for the base layer to decorate the Mini Pizza Boxes. Then using the squares from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies (145372) I die cut a square from the same pattern of the All My Love Designer Series Paper as used on the treat bag. All embellished with some of the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack (148584) and the beautifully detailed heart die from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies cut on Gold Foil Sheets (132622). The detail in that heart is just stunning and it is a beautiful addition to any paper craft project. I can see a new favourite product in those Framelits Dies.

The last gift packaging project is the Kraft Pillow Boxes. These printed, die-cut pillow boxes and perfect for gifts and wrapped goodies. Again using most of the same products as the Treat Bag and Mini Pizza Boxes I’ve accented and embellished them to make a gorgeous pillow box. Did you notice the ‘floral’ hearts on the pillow boxes? These are one of the patterns in the All My Love Designer Series Paper and can be die cut with some of the dies from  the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies. Don’t you just love when products co-ordinate like that? I’m a happier person when there is less fussy cutting! Who is with me? This time on the Pillow Boxes I used some of the left over Striped Treat Bags to die cut the detailed heart die. I just love the two tone look to the heart and it really adds another dimension to the die cut! Pretty! 

All of the gift packaging projects have been finished off and layered with Vellum (106584),Whisper White 5/8” Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (146912), Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (109129) or Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Emboss Powder from the 2018 – 2020 In Color Stampin’ Emboss Powder (146955) as well as the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack and some of the DSP from the All My Love Designer Series Paper.

It still may feel like Valentine’s Day is a while away, we are all still getting over Christmas, right? But if you want to make something special for your Valentine, you may want to start now so that you have something made in time.

I hope that I’ve inspired you today for ways you can create some gorgeous gift packaging and to show ‘All your love’ this Valentine’s Day.

#TGIFC 91 | Show me the love

OK. I know I've done a lot of Valentine's Day creations for you lately. I've been having so much fun with some of the new products from Stampin' Up! dedicated to Valentines Day and I was on a roll. And today is no different with the new #tgifc challenge for this week being all things love.

I've incorporated some products from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue as well as the Stampin' Up! 2017 Occasions Catalogue for my love inspired card for you today.

I've used the 'You' from the Sunshine Sayings stamp set and the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies, that are from the Annual Catalogue and then combined it with some of the products from the Sending Love Suite from the 2017 Occasions Catalogue.

I'm not normally a pink and red girl and have always been told that these two colours don't go together but I'm liking the combination of Pink Pirouette and Real Red. I think they look fantastic together. 

I started off with the Pink Pirouette water colour wash for the background and then splattered some Gold Wink of Stella. Still loving that stuff! Looks fabulous splattered on a water colour background. Well, I think it does. I then played around with the rest of the elements swapping them around and them moving them into place till I was happy with the result. Sometimes it takes me ages to be happy with the final result but this time it was quite quick and didn't take me long at all. Love when a card comes together quickly.

Its all finished off with some Subtles Enamel Shapes, Sending Love Embellishments, Mini Paper Clips and some Gold Metallic Thread.

You really must pop over to the blog and check out all the other TGIFC DT's cards. There really is something for everyone with all the different creations! While you are there check out all the details on how to enter your creation.

I'm so looking forward to seeing all your creations and whatever inspires your 'love' creation!

Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop | Sealed With Love

Welcome to the very first 2017 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. I am super excited and oh so thrilled to be sharing creations with you all! I feel like this day has been a long time coming since I got the call to be on the ADT and am still pinching myself that I was chosen. The team comprises of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the globe. I feel so honoured to be one of the three chosen from the South Pacific region.

Just a little bit about me before we start. My name is Rochelle Blok and I live in the South-East Suburbs in Melbourne, Australia but grew up in country Victoria, South Gippsland, on a dairy farm. So what’s the saying ‘You can take the girl out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the girl’. I love suburbia life but can very much relate to wide open spaces and country living. I’ve been married now for 15 ½ years and we have 3 wonderful children, 2 beautiful boys and a gorgeous girl, ages 13, 11 and 8. I’m a stay at home mum, work in the office of our small business and a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. All of these things keep me busy and ‘out of trouble’ but I would have to say that my love, besides my hubby and kids, is being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and all things crafting! If I could craft all day, everyday, I'd be one happy woman!

Our hop today is focusing on the Sealed with Love stamp set. Lots of fabulous ideas for you especially for Valentine's Day coming up.

What a fabulous set to start our first hop with!! Loving it!

I do tend to like to use Kraft/Crumb Cake on my creations and I think that it looks fabulous with the Real Red accents. Loving the contrast! I used the little heart stamp to make a border on my card and then made my own 'DSP' as such and used that for the super cute envelope on the card and the crumb cake panel on the gift bag. How gorgeous are those mini envelopes from the Love Notes Framelits Dies. They are just too cute for words!  The card and bag have been embellished with the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack, Mini Paper Clips, Sending Love Ribbon Combo and the Sending Love Embellishments. Loving the mix of the gorgeous stamp images, the Real Red and Crumb Cake combo and the wooden embellishments. 

Now on to the ever fabulous Shannon Lane from Canada. I've admired her creations for a while now and can't believe I'm now on the ADT with her too!

Sending Love Origami Heart Bookmarks

Hello! I'm finally back for 2017. I've had a most wonderful time away camping with my hubby and kids, enjoying the great outdoors. Lots of sun, a bit of sand, swimming at the beach, fishing, catching up on some good books, relaxing, and just having an all round fabulous time while away. 

I thought I would start off this year with something simple and so easy to do, Origami Heart Bookmarks. They are oh, so easy to make and make a gorgeous little gift for you loved one this coming Valentine's Day.

I've seen them everywhere on Pinterest and wanted to give them a go. I followed this tutorial to make them. They take no time at all to fold and are super cute too.

The Sending Love Glassine Sheets are a perfect thickness for Origami and the folds are effortless to make. If you are using a DSP, like the Sending Love DSP stack, you will need to use a bone folder with each fold to get them crisp.

Once folded they just slip on to the corner of your page and mark your spot perfectly. Because they are folded flat they fit inside a card for your loved one this Valentines Day. Perfect for the book worm in your life.

This Real Red one is gorgeous. So bright!

You can leave them plain or dress them up with a few accents and embellishments. I've used some of the Love Notes Framelits Dies to embellish mine and added a small wooden heart from the Sending Love Embellishments.

Just Add Ink #342 | Just Add N

WOW! The last challenge for Just Add Ink for 2016!!! Where did the year go! And what a fabulous challenge we have for you too! 

Just Add 'N'. Could be a colour like Night of Navy, a theme like New Years Eve, your favourite stamp set that starts with N or what I have done used some new products.

My creation this week is using some new products from the up coming Stampin' Up! Occasions catalogue that starts 4th Jan 2017. Not long now! See of you can pick them.

I started with the new embossing folder Falling Petals Textured Impressions embossing folder. I thought it looked more like hearts than petals. Still gorgeous either way!

I've then layered an all new Lace Doily with a Vellum Scalloped circle and a piece of the Sending Love Glassine Sheet cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The Glassine Sheets have been printed with a delicate white hearts and is also fabulous for bags and envelopes.

Speaking of envelopes, Oh My!!!! How super cute is the little envelope on the front! This is one of the new dies from the Love Notes Framelits! I die cut it out of the new 6"x 6"Sending Love DSP stack. My favourite of this DSP is these little hearts. Love, Love, Love. These little envelopes are crazy cute and there is also a die in the framelit set that you can die cut out a little note to put inside it! So fabulous for a few little love notes to your partner or pop them in your kids lunch box for school to let them know you are thinking of them. They'll love it!

The arrow is also part of the Love Notes Framelit Dies set. I cut it in half to make it look longer than it actually is and hid the two halves behind the envelope. Looks gorgeous die cut in the Gold Glimmer Paper.

My last two new products on my card is the little wooden heart on the front. That is from the Sending Love Embellishments and the other new product is the 'Hugs & Kisses' sentiment comes from the new Sealed with Love stamp set. Most of the products I've used today are from the Sending Love Suite in the Occasions Catalogue.

Did you notice the new watermark??? EEK!!! Super excited to use it for the first time today!

This challenge will run for two weeks, so once the hustle and bustle of Christmas dies down you still have plenty of time to join in. Or if you want to escape for a few moments creating to take a break from the busy time, there is plenty of time to get your creation in. If you can't join in this week make sure that you still have a look at the creations from the Just Add Ink DT for some fabulous inspiration!

Just Add Ink #298 - Just Add V

Yay! It's Friday, the end of the working week and also time for a new Just Add Ink Challenge. Both equally exciting! This week we have Just Add V. When I first saw this challenge on our list I must have had my strawberry blond hat on (sorry to the blonds out there) and had and extremely blond moment and went, "What? V? Why V? ... What can I create on my card that begins with V?" It then dawned on me, almost like a bolt of lightening to my brain and I actually said this to myself  "Duh, you idiot, Valentine's. Of Course." I did feel like a little bit of a, as my kids would say a 'Doofus'. 

I've used the Little Letters Thinlit Dies to create a bit of a Kiss, Hug, Kiss, Hug kind of card.

I do love to make cards that don't actually use a stamp set but uses some of the other fabulous accessories and tools that Stampin' Up! have to offer. Like the Big Shot, Thinlits, Framelits, Punches, Speciallity Papers and Trims. Don't get me wrong, I love the stamps too, but I love that you can create a fabulous card without them also.

Don't you just love the pops of Red Glimmer? So sparkly! 

If you find some time to get creative this weekend, we'd love to see your creation over at Just Add Ink. Your creation doesn't have to be a Valentine's creation it can be whatever 'V' that inspires you, vase, vest, violet, vellum, vintage. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
