Date Night Layout Valentine's Day 2025

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a couple of quick layouts I created using the February2025 scrapbook kit. I hope you enjoy the step by step tutorial and I have a video tutorial that shows the entire layout process. All links are below for you.

February2025 Scrapbook Kit

To start I combined 2 small scoops of Pink Gold Pearl Ex and 2 small scoops of the Stamperia Meduim for pigments, mix until you get a paint like consistency. I then painted the Chipboard Hearts.

For page 1 - I used the truck pattern paper. I really liked this image. I cut one mat at 5 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches and distressed the edges. I cut another patterned paper at 4 x5 and distressed the edges again, then inked my edges. I added foam tape to the back of the photo mat, then adhered down.

I added flowers and I painted the Love Key Chipboard piece with pink gold pearl ex. I did paint the "love" in a light pink and went over it with the white pearl ex.

Page #2

I drew a large wave down the length of the a 12 x 12 pattern papers on both sides then cut out. I then used this as a pattern to draw the same wave on a second 12x12 paper. This way they will layer on top of one another. For more details you can watch the video tutorial.

Here is what it should look like after you cut them out. I used the ends to decorate the left and right side. I like how this looks like an hour glass shape. For more details you can watch the video tutorial.

I then took a black marker and traced the edges of the waves before putter on the any photos. I adhered the chipboard hearts and flowers.

Here is page 1 all finished and I wrote on top the day and where we went for our night out.

Here is the finished second page I placed the photos on and then adhered the grapevine hearts with hot glue. I also added in some sentiments from the card kit.

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. I enjoyed creating this two page layout and sharing my memories with you all. Using the chipboard hearts and sharing the painting technique you can do using the pearl ex from the mixed media kit added a nice touch to the papers and photos.

Tags Of Love

Hi my crafty friends,

Today I am sharing my first project using the February 2025 Scrapbook Kit. If you haven't seen the new February Kits you need to check them out they have lots of fun goodies inside. And with that being said, I have a couple of beautiful chipboard tags I created using the Feb. Scrapbook and Mixed Media kit. I have the step by step down below with photos but I also have the video tutorial that shares more details. I have links throughout the post for everything I used.

Feb. 2025 Scrapbook Kit Feb. 2025 Mixed Media Kit

Tag #1

To start off cover your tag with a piece of pattern paper. I usually place glue on my chipboard tag and then lay the chipboard on top of the pattern paper, burnish down really well and cut out.

Below I decorated the Love with Key chipboard piece using the rose gold Gilding Flakes from the Mixed Media Kit along with the pink gold Pearl Ex.

For the gilding flakes you want to use either your glue or you can use 3D gloss gel to adhere the gilding flakes to the chipboard, like I did below on the key portion of the chipboard.

For the "love" portion I took my modeling paste and mixed in a little of the pearl ex. But first I brushed on textured paste to the "love" portion first. Once that dried I brushed on the pink pearl ex with modeling paste and let dry. Because I wanted it a little more pink I did my versa mark and patted it down on the "love" poured some pearl ex on top of it just a little bit and then heated it to set it.

Next I adhered on the flowers and the small grapevine heart with my glue gun. I used my glue to adhere the chipboard "love" piece. Next I added some gilding flakes around the tag to give a little bit more interest to the tag and adhered some flat back pearls.

Here is the finished tag. One thing I did to the pink flowers is I used a little gesso with water mixed, and brushed the mixture on lightly on each flower to lighten them up a bit. I then went over the flowers with stickles.

Tag #2

For tag #2 cover the front just like we did the for the first tag.

Next cut a piece of 4x4 pattern paper. On my scoreboard I have black line down from the 6 inch I use this as a marker when I need to score something like this or in the middle of something. So line up your corners on the black line or your 6 inch line and score at the 5 inch on all four sides turning your square around.

Next fold at the score lines and you will cut at the intersected parts of the square. This will give you a small envelope. (as shown below) Also you can view the video tutorial for more details.

Here are some of the pieces I fussy cut out from the cut apart sheets in the Scrapbook Kit. Once you have your envelope folded up and flaps adhered glue it down on the tag.

I glued on the small envelope fill it with the hearts. I did use foam tape on the hearts and the rest of the embellishments. I used a piece of seambinding from my stash for the bow. I added in flat back pearls, glued on the paper flowers and used glossy accents to add the shine to the hearts.

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. For more details you can view the video tutorial.
