Good morning happy people! We are back with another fun hop today. My computer has been on the blink :O) and I haven’t posted anything since last week – eek!!! Today it is all about Sale-a-bration which is during Jan-Feb. I chose to play with the beautiful and delicate Heart Shaped bundle that is a’ ‘free’ item with a purchase of $120 in product. And it’s gorgeous.
These dies are just so inspiring – and I’m using them for a card class today, making this card and another something else as well. :O) What I did here was inspired by a couple of demonstrators… Kim McGillis and Mary Ann Cowan. I began by using my Blending Brushes – the small ones – and using several inks – to color a piece of Basic White card stock. The colors I used were Petal Pink, Pretty In Pink and Melon Mambo & Basic Beige. Here’s what my page looked like after coloring.
I forgot to take a photo before doing so many die cuts, but I think you can easily see (‘cuz I slipped several die cuts back in place). This was a full 8 1/2 x 11 sheet and you can see how many I was able to get out of it.
The next step was layering these pieces – and really, you don’t have to use as many as I did, I just liked the look of several hearts. I used three hearts and three flowers, attaching them with tiny dots of liquid glue, off-setting each one slightly. The flowers got an additional center with the Antique Pearls (which are from the Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog).
For the card…
- Thick Basic White card base cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
- Add with dimensionals a 4 x 5 1/4 Petty Pink panel.
- Using the largest of the Stitched Shapes Dies and a panel of Basic White 3 1/2 x 4 3/4, cie cut a circle equidistant from the top & sides
- Lay this card front piece on the Petal Pink and adhere only the circle in the opening to the Petal Pink.
- Wrap a length of ribbon (Scalloped Ribbon in Petal Pink) around the die cut card front and secure in back with tear n’ Tape.
- Put dimensionals on this card front and adhere in place over the circle.
- Adhere the heart die cuts to the circle with dots of liquid glue.
- Stamp your sentiment w/ VersaMark ink on a Petal Pink strip and sprinkle with WOW White embossing powder; heat set with your heating tool. Once cool, die cut with the appropriate die from Heart Shaped Dies, shortening the length of the piece. Add the sentiment with two mini dimensionals.
- Slip a length of the same Scalloped Ribbon in Petal Pink, under the ribbon in place and tie a knot. Secure in place with a glue dot. DONE!
For the inside… I kept this very simple since the card front was frilly & feminine. I stamped the image of the flowers in Petal Pink ink on opposite sides of the Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 panel, then adhered the piece in place.
For the envelope, I stamped the partial image of the heart using the Heart Shaped stamp set, first stamping in Petal Pink ink, then stamping in Pretty In Pink ink, off-setting when I stamped – so it’s a double image.
I have more die cuts to use for something else, another card or ‘something’. Come back tomorrow to see how I used those.
