Global Stampin' Video Hop - January 2025 - Six Quick & Easy Valentine's Day Cards Perfect For Beginner Card Makers

It is time for another tutorial for the Global Stampin’ Video Hop on YouTube. Each month on the fourth Friday Stampin’ Up Demonstrators from around the world come together and share their projects based on a monthly theme. January’s Theme is FREE and we can interpret it any way we want. I am so excited to see what everyone creates this month, make sure to watch my video below and then jump around and see them all.


When I heard the word FREE I thought of all the awesome SALE-A-BRATION items you can get for free this month with a qualifying purchase through my Stampin’ Up! online store https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2042902.


I decided to use my favorite FREE SALE-A-BRATION ITEMS – Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper and the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins. I just love how easily these items can be used with so many colors and products.


The cards I am sharing today use these FREE items along with the Celebrate Love Mix & Match Ephemera Pack to create 6 quick and easy Valentine’s Day Cards that anyone can make. They are perfect for beginner card makers!


Since each card uses the Ephemera to create different card fronts, I am going to share some fun tips & techniques you can use with this cute pack to make your cards pop! Check them all out below and then create your own cards with this mix & match pack or use the images to help you create the ones I made.


I hope you are inspired today as you see all the Projects from everyone while jumping from video to video. If you are inspired to make a project from something you see today please share it with us, we would love to see what you come up with. You can tag me @creativechelsey in any social media post.

TIPS & TECHNIQUES


Splatter with a Stampin’ Write Marker on to the Background to give a little texture & interest.

 


Cut the DSP to 3” x 4” and add to a Basic White 3 1/8” x 4 1/8” to give the pattern a border helping it pop from the cardbase. Add with dimensionals to the center of the cardbase.

 


Add liquid glue to used Dimensional Backing and tap small delicate pieces into glue when applying them to a card.

 


Separate the tall Floral Ephemera Pieces in the center to give you two pieces.

 


Add Stampin’ Blend Markers to colored cardstock in the same color to give depth and interest behind Ephemera Pieces to help them stand out against the pattern paper.



Cut a rough border around the Ephemera Pieces so you can layer them together.




Color the White Ephemera Pieces with Stampin’ Blend Markers to help them pop from the pattern paper.



Remove the color banner part of the Greeting so you can place it at different angles and in different areas on your card.


Add delicate details by only showing part of the Ephemera Pieces under greetings.

 

HAVE FUN!

Today I would like to share with you my upcoming Online Card Class for February 2025. In this class we will be creating 5 Handmade Cards with any Butterfly Stamp Set & Dies. I will be creating my cards with the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle. When choosing your Stamp Set look for one with Butterfly images in multiple sizes and with open areas you can add color.

"Chelsey’s card classes are phenomenal. Her customer service is exceptional. I always learn something new when I view her videos. I haven’t missed one since I started, and look forward to each one."
Sandra G. from Texas



This class will take place in a private Facebook Group and on YouTube with a Private link. Please specify when registering if you would like the YouTube link (it will be emailed out about 5 minutes before 10am MT each day).  If you can’t participate live, I can also send an email with both the video replay and PDF tutorial after the live class.

• Live Videos for each card where I will walk you through each step to create the cards. Watch live or when you have the time.


"I have been taking Chelsey's classes for about 5 years. I always learn something new. She is an exceptional artist which is reflected in the cards she creates. They are all beautiful. I especially love her teaching style. She goes slow with great attention to detail. She often gives closeups of the section of the card she is working on which helps so much. She is such a great teacher. I highly recommend her classes and I've never missed a month since I started. She generally creates these classes using 2 stamps sets so you can pick the one you want to use. However, She also encourages us to just use what we have. I appreciate that so much!"
Debbie L. from Wisconsin

Heat Emboss on Vellum - My Favorite Alternative from the December 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit

Welcome to Paper Pumpkin Week here on Creative Chelsey. This week I have shared many alternative card ideas you can make with supplies from the December 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit called Notes From The Heart. Today I am sharing my sixth and last card idea.


The cards this month are beautifully simple scalloped edges cards with gorgeous large die cuts. They are perfect to make to send a quick note to friends and family. If you would like to watch me unbox the kit and make the original cards visit this playlist -  
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL40dV1oxpkNnioYqEkJBHi8pkYbS_nrGp


This is the last alternative card I will be sharing with you this week. For this card I pulled together some of the leftover supplies I had after making the previous 5 cards and came up with one of my favorites. For this card I am sharing another great way to manipulate the Vellum Leaf Die Cut and I love how it gives a beautiful look and texture to the card.


Each month I take the contents from the paper pumpkin kits and make alternative projects. My cards are easy to follow and can be made by both experienced or new paper crafter. You may need just a couple other products to complete them. You can follow along with me using supplies you already have or purchase any products you see me use from my online store. A full supply list is below or on my blog –
www.creativechelsey.com

I also want to mention the amazing perks you can receive when you subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me as your demonstrator. With every Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set & Ink Spot sent, I design a card and mail out my very own card kit to my subscribers so they can make two of my exclusive card design. These cards so fun and show new ways to use stamps & ink. We also meet once each month to make the card together, chat & have fun. *PLUS I have joined with other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators to design 8-10 more alternative ideas in a PDF Tutorial (includes photos & instructions). My subscribers receive this PDF Tutorial along with an Exclusively Designed Card Kit, all for FREE! If you would also like to receive this extra perk, sign up for paper pumpkin using the link below and make sure to select me as your demonstrator.

If you are interested in getting your own paper pumpkin subscription, please use this link to subscribe -  https://www.paperpumpkin.com/en-us/sign-up/?demoid=2042902

If this project inspires you to create something, I would love for you to tag me in any social media post using @creativechelsey | #creativechelsey or email me at chelsey@creativechelsey.com.
