VIDEO: Crafty Valentines With Colored Die Cuts

Hello crafters, Kelly here!

Can you believe Valentine's day is Sunday?! That means February is almost half over. Whoo hoo! Warm weather is just a smidge closer. Mind you, i just drove home in a blizzard so I may be a bit biased :)

Since it is the week of love, I wanted to concentrate on showing some appreciation for the people in my life that fill my soul. I wanted to let some crafty friends know just how much I admire their work and what better time than now?

I wanted it to be a Valentine but I also wanted it to include the things we love the most - crafts. I mean your partner and kids too, but mostly crafts. ;)

This was so easy to do once I combined the new Artist Palette Die with the Biggest Fan stamp set.

You can watch them come together in the video below.

Watch above or watch in HD at YouTube

I created two cards with the same idea but colored them two different ways. It's super easy to color these guys up with all kinds of mediums. Are you not completely in love with that sentiment? I am. Hook, line, and sinker.

This version is super easy to create if you own Distress inks or maybe want to try ink blending with your Pure Color Dye Inks? They blend beautifully too!

Or maybe adding a bit more detail is your thing?

Copic markers work just as well on die cuts as they do with stamped images. Or you could even combine the two coloring options and get a completely different look!

If you love the Biggest Fan set as much as I do you let me tell you how you can get it for free. WHAT?!

I know! Wplus9 is currently including this set for FREE in any orders over $60.00 at wplus9.com. But it's only through February 11th so you had better hurry!

Thanks so much for visiting today!
