Valentine's Day Napkin Rings - Stampers Anonymous

I enjoy setting the table for our Valentine's Day dinners. I purchased special vintage plates and tea cups that I use each year, but I'm always open to adding or making something new to change it up just a little bit too. So I thought I would make some napkin rings with the Stampers Anonymous Classics #8 stamp set. I made two styles using the same stamp but they look completely different.

Here is the link to my video tutorial.

The first style I made is a gilded, dramatic, Victorian style...

with a black metallic band. 

I think it looks great but once I got it made I realized it just wan't going to fit with my plates and tableware.

Regardless, I think this version is lovely!

The second attempt resulted in a softer, more vintage romance feeling and I LOVE it! This one will be perfect for my table setting.

The lighter, more subtle colors give this one such a different feeling,

And you can see so many more details in the stamp. Even with Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder, you still lose many of the details.

It really is such a lovely stamp!

 

Which version would work best on your table?

 

Thank you once again for joining me! Have a creative dy,

Valentine's Day Etcetera Treat Box

 For the first Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Valentine Curation 2026, I made this Etcetera Treat Box using a #8 Etcetera Tag and Etcetera Tiles paired with some ov the stamps from the curation.

 

 Here is a link to my Youtube tutorial. Enjoy!

For some additional Valentine details I added part of the Love COM002 component stamp ( I cut off a little of the left side) and then added two stamps from the Odds and Ends CMS100 set.

To cover the tag and the tiles I used the CMS178 Seasonal Catalog 2 stamp set.

And for the sides of the box I used images from the THMB004 Valentine Blueprints Mini set.

To build the box I used three tiles for the sides and front and then the #8 tag for the back.

To make the box, I used the outer frame from the tiles and trimmed it to 2.5" then glued them in to the bottom with collage medium to hold the bag of treats in place so they don't fall through.

For the heart punch out I covered it with paper stamped with another of the Mini Valentine Blueprints, then punched a hole with my cropadile and added an eyelet to tie onto the bag of treats.

Here you can see the box from the side and see how the cut out shows the candy in the bag.

This went together faster than I thought it would. Etcetera products are so easy to work with and they make building things or adding dimension to things an absolute breeze! 

I hope you like this little treat project! I had so much fun designing it an then putting it together. It was a great way to start 2026!

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I want to wish you a very creative day!
