This post is also available in English

Hi everyone! I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for a Better Together Blog Hop today! We are all sharing projects using the wonderful Better Together release which includes stamps, dies and more!

Simon released a grouping of products called “Better Together”.  The release celebrates life, sharing hugs, sharing love, spending time together, giggling, laughing, expressing how much we care for each other are great ways to celebrate our lives.  Even though we are often physically far apart from our friends and family, we can connect through words and cards are such a delightful way for us to reach out to one another.

I’ve created several quick, easy and very simple to make Valentine’s Day cards using just one stamp set called Locking Hearts. I challenged myself to come up with more than just one card idea and I’m sharing my results in this post. I hope you like them!

All of these cards are simple one layer projects that involve a bit of stamping and heat embossing. I did die cut a window in one of the cards to create a fun locking mechanism using a die matching the stamp set I used.

For the color combo for these card I went with aqua, black, white and a hint of gold. For the gold I used cute little enamel glitter bows from My Mind’s Eye and for the white I used white pigment ink and also white embossing powder.

  1. I love all the cards and who would have thought of blue for a Valentine, just beautiful. I think the die cut one is my favorite.

  2. Thank you for the beautiful creation. Very cute and gentle. Non-traditional performance great

  3. All your cards are really great. If I had to pick just one, I think it would be the one that says Better when we’re together. Thanks for sharing.

  4. I like the heart beat card the best, too!! Thanks for the video. This looks like such a great stamp set!!

  5. I LOOOOOVE your little Valentines!!!! Just what I think of when I think of making Valentines!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉 THEY’RE ALL FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉

  6. Love the simplicity of your cards – but they are very elegant !! The color combo with the touch of gold is awesome !!!

  7. Yana these are simply lovely. Thank you for sharing the different designs from the stamp set. Always helpful to see it in action.

  8. I like all the cards but I have to agree with you that the heartbeat is my favorite. I like the contrast in the heart being lighter and the beat being more saturated. I always enjoy your videos.

  9. I love the color! It’s fun to see a Valentine’s card that’s not pink or red. And the design is beautiful too!
