Be Mine ghosting gratitude card

For my project today, I needed a thank you card and as I was sending it out prior to Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d try this layout.  I already had the background piece completed previously and needed to get it used in a project.  This card actually came together pretty quickly with the background just waiting for a project.  I used the ghosting technique on glossy cardstock and the Meant to Be stamp set.  First I stamped the hearts in Versamark ink and let it dry.  I then sponged Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick inks in layers over the hearts.  To the background I added a piece of the Lovely Lipstick ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon combo pack.  Over the top of this, I cut the large scalloped heart framelit out of the Sale-a-Bration Foil Sheet pack you can only get for FREE.  I then ran the inside heart through the Subtle Embossing Folder which added amazing texture.  I then stamped the heart in Flirty Flamingo and used the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set from the annual catalog as my sentiment.  I stamped this on the center heart from the smaller scalloped heart in the set.

Smile with Lovely Lace card

I loved this stamp as soon as I saw it when the new Stampin' Up catalog arrived.  It's a single stamp and is called A Little Smile.  It works wonderfully with the Stampin' Blendabilities.  The base card is daffodil delight and embossed with the Lovely Lace embossing folder.  The focal image was mounted on a piece of DSP from the All Abloom paper stack.  I think receiving a card with this little stamp will make anyone's day, don't you agree?
