Cutesy character Valentines really are the best, and the Valentine Kisses Bundle from Stampin’ Up! is packed with so much character it’s impossible not to fall in love with it. I know I did.
The Valentine Kisses Stamp Set features the most adorable bear designs and sweet accessories, making it ideal not only for Valentine’s Day but for any occasion that calls for a little extra cuteness. There’s even a teddy bear that would be perfect paired with the sentiment “Sending Lots of Love Your Way to Celebrate This Special Day” for a sweet congratulations card, hello, new baby! These little bears feel extra special thanks to all the fun ways you can customize them with hearts, flowers, cupid wings, and more, making every project truly one of a kind. The open line art is perfect for adding your favorite coloring techniques, allowing you to personalize each card, tag, or scrapbook page. And can we talk about the sentiments? They’re full of punny fun “Giving You a Big Smooch” and “Bear Hug & Kisses”… come on!
The real standout of this bundle is the coordinating Valentine Kisses Dies. In addition to perfectly die cutting the bears and accessories, they let you craft sweet, storybook-style scenes with just a quick run through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. There’s even a darling kissing booth complete with banners and layered details that add so much charm and dimension to your projects.
As always, the bundle saves you 10% compared to purchasing the stamps and dies separately, making it perfect for creating single keepsake cards or multiples for classrooms, friends, and loved ones. It’s a sweet, happy bundle that makes Valentine crafting feel playful, full of love, and just plain fun.
Valentine Kisses Greeting Cards
Tutorial: This sweet Valentine comes together with simple layers and a few special details. Start with a kraft card base, then layer a white cardstock mat and an embossed kraft panel for added texture. Add a strip of red polka dot paper from the Made With Love DSP across the center. Create a backdrop by layering a Very Vanilla stitched square and a white circle die cut with the Spotlight on Nature Dies popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals, then stamp a few small Real Red hearts on the circle for extra detail. Tuck the die-cut heart panel from the Valentine Kisses Dies behind the square for a peek of texture. Use the Valentine Kisses Stamps to stamp the bear and color with Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. Die cut and tuck a small Real Red heart into his arms. Die cut the scalloped panel in Pretty in Pink, trim it, and layer over the bear to create a sweet tutu. Finish by adding the Real Red and Pretty in Pink heart balloons with thin black die-cut strings, a black sentiment banner heat embossed in white across the bear, and a few Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems for a Valentine that’s truly too cute to bear.
Tutorial: This clean and cheerful Valentine starts with a white card base layered with a bold Real Red panel embossed with the Hearts Of Love 3D Embossing Folder for instant texture and impact. Add a narrow strip of Real Red cardstock embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder along the left side, then soften the edge by layering a scalloped panel die cut from the Valentine Kisses Dies in Pretty in Pink. Stamp the bear from the Valentine Kisses Stamps in black ink on white cardstock, die cut it, and adhere it slightly off the edge for a playful look. Die cut a stitched sentiment label in white, stamp “Happy Valentine’s Day” in black, and pop it up across the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finish by adding a few small pink and white hearts from the Loose Valentine’s Assortment around the bear for a sweet, simple Valentine that’s full of charm and easy to recreate.
Tutorial: This sweet scene card starts with a white card base layered with a soft pink gingham frame panel from the Love Notes DSP. Build the kissing booth using the Valentine Kisses Dies layering Pecan Pie cardstock with Real Red accents for the awning and heart details, then adhere it to the card front. Stamp both bear images from the Valentine Kisses Stamps and color them with Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends, then die cut and position one bear inside the booth while the other stands just outside. Add hearts for a playful, storybook look. Attach the small “Kisses” sign to the booth and finish with a stitched sentiment banner at the top featuring the punny “Giving You a Big Smooch” for a Valentine that’s full of charm, dimension, and “bear-y” sweet details.
