Show someone just how much your love radiates out for them by using the Love You Radiating Foil Stamp 'n' Cut Die. This set helps you to cut out a central shape and foil a sentiment with extra foiled embellishments around the shape. It's the perfect way to show how much love your heart is filled with!

5. Nesting hearts card

You all know how much we love a nesting die, but look how creatively this card has used the Torn Edge Heart Dies! Featuring a little pocket on the front for a pull-out tag, you can get creative with colours and printed paper to really bring this design to life.

6. Edge'ables card

We think we speak for everyone when we say that we love the Edge'ables range, but we're particularly fond of the Word Edge'ables. They're great for so many occasions and look fantastic! Try using the Love Edge'able Stamp and Die to create a floating sentiment on the front of your card, then pair it up with other gorgeous embellishments for a completed look.

7. I love you for all that you are card

We stock a huge assortment of sentiment stamps, some of which are perfect for every day use, but loads that are ideal for occasions, including Valentine's Day.

8. Love Heart wrap die card

We love a card that looks a lot more complicated than it is - it just makes the reactions from the recipient so much better! Use the Love Heart Wrap Die to add a gorgeous heart band around the middle of your card, which unlocks in the centre. Pair it up with muted shades for a fun pop!

9. Foam flower with love card

Foam flowers are perfect for pretty much any occasion and we'll let you in on a little secret... they last longer than a real bouquet. Create some beautiful flowers to add on to a card like the one above, and really elevate your Valentine's card design. Use soft colours for a delicately feminine look.
