So In Love Valentine or Anniversary Card or Just Because

Posted on January 17, 2017January 16, 2017 by Josee

Hello!

The card I have to show you today uses one of the new stamp sets from the 2017 Occasions Catalogue, the So In Love stamp set. This is such a pretty stamp set with lovely fonts for the sentiment stamps including in the set which are perfect for Valentine cards, Anniversary cards, wedding cards or just because 🙂

How To Make It:

This card starts with a base of Whisper White Thick cardstock. Then, on a layer of Shimmery White cardstock I layed down a watercolor layer of Soft Sky ink with an Aqua Painter.

Tip: To watercolor with Stampin Up ink pads, press the lid of the ink pad into the ink to get a pool of color to watercolor with, then dip the Aqua Painter filled with water into the pool of color.

Once that was dry, I stamped the flowers from the So In Love stamp set with Archival Basic Black ink. I heat set the ink with the Heat Tool to ensure it did not smudge when I did the next step.

Then I watercolored the flowers with Flirty Flamingo ink not worrying about staying inside the lines, coloring a little darker in the areas I wanted some shadowing. That was dryed again with the Heat Tool.

Once the watercoloring was completely dry I stamped the leaves from the So In Love stamp set with Emerald Envy ink and stamped the sentiment with the Basic Black ink. The stamped layer was adhered to the card base.

I used the Clear Wink of Stella to add some shimmer to center and edges of the watercolored flowers.

As a final touch, I tied a bow out of the Emerald Envy 1/8” Taffetta Ribbon leaving a long 'tail' on the bow and used a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the bow to the watercolored layer.

So many cute ways to use this suite of products! Start with the Sealed With Love stamp set and coordinating Love Notes Framelits Dies which include some heart shapes and darling little mini envelope dies as shown in the photo below.

Isn't that little garland made with the mini envelopes just the cutest garland ever? Wouldn't that be cute to surprise someone with on their computer screen or door on Valentine's morning? Of course, they are the perfect size to add to a cardfront as well!

I love the look of these Sending Love Glassine Sheets-142734, such a pretty and soft addition to your cards and scrapbook pages and gift packaging.

A great addition to the suite is the Sending Love Ribbon Combo Pack-142737, dainty 1/8" grosgrain ribbon in Real Red and Whisper White.

Love Sparkles Valentine Card

Posted on January 12, 2017January 10, 2017 by Josee

Good Morning!

Yesterday I showed you my first card made with the Love Sparkles stamp set and today I've got another card using this stamp set. This is such a quick and easy card to make! I love the design of the images in this set- the sparkles really seem to sparkle!

How To Make It:

Cut and score the Whisper White Thick card base

Emboss the Whisper White layer with the Happy Heart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder through the Big Shot and adhere to the card base

Stamp the hearts from the Love Sparkles stamp set with Whisper White ink to create a background on the Real Red layer and adhere that to the embossed card front

Stamp the sentiment in Real Red ink on Whisper White and die cut with the oval from the Stitched Shape Framelits

Die cut the next size oval from the Stitched Shape Framelit from Basic Black cardstock and adhere both ovals together to mat the stamped sentiment, then adhere to the card front

Stamp the heart from the Love Sparkles stamp set with Real Red ink on Whisper White cardstock and die cut with the heart shape framelit from the Bear Hugs Framelits Dies– it works great to cut out this stamped image!

Add the heart to the cardfront with a Stampin' Dimensional
