The Stamp Market's LOVEly January 2022 Release


The January 2022 release from The Stamp Market is JAW DROPPINGLY gorgeous! (yes jaw droppingly is a word lol).


In this video, I focused on their new basic cardmaking supplies, plus the dies and some stamps. I am saving the gorgeous layering florals for a part 2 to this video!


The 3D Perfect Posy Large Die will tide you over until then!


This release has several different types of dies like the Love Potion Shaker Die (above) and the Heart to Heart Cover Die (below).


They also have several foil plates in this collection and they couldn't be more stunning!


The unique Love Cover die looks great on a card, or turn it into a shaped card like I did (below)!


Many of the dies, like the Scattered Hearts Cover Die and the Layering Hugs die can be used long after Valentine's day is over to send some love in the mail.


You can see these new dies and stamps and all of these cards in this video:

Yana's Blooms Splatter Sentiments Hot Foil Plates

Have you seen the Magnolia Bouquet Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Die Set from the Yana's Blooms Collection? This set includes gorgeous magnolia flowers and leaves that you can foil and then die cut so you can create your very own foiled bouquet.


Or use them as accents on a die cut heart with patterned paper and embellishments from the Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month.


Either way, you can create gorgeous foiled designs with these beautiful plates and the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System. If you need tips & tricks for the perfect foiled impression every time, check out this video where you will see both of these cards created too!

Have you seen the Spellbinders Splatter Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from the Yana's Blooms Collection? Yana Smakula's gorgeous design features a foilable (yes that's a word lol) frame, stunning script sentiments and three plates that create splatter foil effects!


You don't even need to add anything to them to create a beautifully designed card! But I loved dipping into the Spellbinders Card Kit of The Month for some patterned paper and embellishments!

Spellbinders January 2022 Small Die of the Month

Have you seen this month's Spellbinders Small Die of the Month? If not, let me tell you, it is nothing short of brilliant!


Because, you see, you can keep the center heart full or die cut the pattern as I did. You can have the patterned background I used actually be EIGHT patterns or colors because the die cuts each piece into rays. And the small hearts? They can be fully one color or split in half to two like I did. I will definitely be using this die again and again. The patterned paper and die cut flag and cardstock all came from the Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month too, so I will link to both down below!

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero January 2022 Kit and Add Ons + Giveaway!



The Hero Arts January release was inspired by a trip to Paris, and the locks left by lovers and dreamers on the bridges there. This month's kit is great to get started on your Valentine's Day projects, but can be used to show friendship and appreciation throughout the year. The focal point is a gorgeous cover plate die, with ornate detail surrounding a keyhole. It can be used alone, or layered over any number of beautiful scenes. To get you started, we included a lovely Color Layering stamp set featuring a rope swing covered in inviting greenery. There are ink cubes which work well with the stamps, and the kit is rounded out with some iridescent red gems.


I had SO MUCH FUN with this kit and add ons! I made my own conversation hearts with a small heart die and then sentiments from the V Day Mini Messages Stamp Set.


I love using the Chain Linked Fancy Die for an element of shine and texture behind the Peonies I made with the Peonies Bunch.


I love these dies from the main kit and this key hole die could be used in so many ways!


And I love the combination of chain link background with the locks dies to mimic the pedestrian bridge over the Seine.


And coloring these sweet flower girls was something different from all the dies. They look like little story book characters.


Speaking of bold, graphic dies, the Heart and Blossoms Cover Plate Die is so fun!


I used some of the dies from the Lifestyle Cupid to create this little clean and simple Valentine's day card.


This Key to My Heart Stamp Set gives a chance to color rather than just die cut. And again that Chain Link die is such a cool backdrop.


You can check out all of these supplies and cards in today's video:


Now onto the blog hop and giveaway! Hero Arts will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop.
