Valentine Wishes to You


Hi - Jean Okimoto here - with Valentine wishes from the Design Team and everyone at Clearsnap.  We've enjoyed sharing our Valentine projects with you and hope they made  your holiday prep inspiring, creative and colorful!

This project features three types of ink - Fluid Chalk, Classic Pigment and Archival Dye.  Vintage Dreams was stamped with Lime Pastel Fluid Chalk for a softly-detailed, quick-drying background.


Little pink hearts were stenciled through the Heart Canopy diecut with the Razzberry ColorBox Classic Pigment Cat's Eye from the Fiesta Queue. ColorBox Classic Pigment Inks are great for stenciling and blending - and using the individual Cat's Eyes instead of the larger inkpads keeps the large inkpads clean and free of other ink colors.  The inks are also great for heat-embossing because the powders cling to the moist inks, creating a glossy, glittery or pearly finish on your stamped and stenciled images.

A little tip here...diecut your stencils from heavy vellum for easy alignment and crisp stenciled images.

The greeting was quickly stamped with Pinkolicious ColorBox Archival Dye Ink for a vibrant accent.  The Twiggy Tree diecut and three buttons tied with Pink Sorbet from The Twinery added the finishing touches.  Stamps and dies are from Memory Box.
