Hello my lovelies! Happy Monday! I have something fun to share with you today! It's my second project I made with the brand new, beautiful 2023 January new release from Pretty Pink Posh! Remember last week there was a big blog hop to celebrate the new release? Well, this week is the Instagram Hop portion of the new release! So...if you have Instagram, be sure to check out the hop there, and leave comments on the posts for a chance to win some prizes! I always like to post my card on my blog too. Today's card is a Valentine with a capitol V! It has everything - red and white, X's and O's, cherries, and some hearts too! You can shop the entire PPP new release here!
My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with red and then a white top layer. LOTS of red on this one - but hey, it's the color of love! My card features the brand new XOXO stamp and die set and the brand new Sweet Cherries stamp and die set!
Here's a side view of my card to see all my layers and layout.... Lots of pretty white embossing - so classic.
I started this card by heat embossing the X's and O's and die cutting them out with the matching dies. Then I stamped and die cut out lots and lots of cherries! I colored the cherries with Copic Markers and added white gel pen accents too.
For the sentiment I used white embossing on a black strip to put across the bottom....
I used gorgeous Lumberjack Distress Oxide Ink and a blender brush to brush some red just at the top of my white layer. I splashed on some silver metallic paint onto the red part and onto the X's and O's too.
I affixed the X's and O's onto the card first, using foam tape. Then I placed the cherries all around them! This card has a lot going on and I love it!!
Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to check out the big Instagram Hop for Pretty Pink Posh today!! I will be back this week with a couple more projects so stay tuned! Have an awesome week everyone! XOXO

WOW love a red card! PPP has such fun stuff this release. I love all the new stencils and think they would be fun to make backgrounds. This is gorgeous. Cherries are my favorites too... Stay dry out there 😍

I like the classic red with the white embossing and white layers/accents. A classic and beautiful Valentine.
