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.

You make me happy heart bokeh

Today’s project features a technique Jenn Houston from the Artsy Fartsy Gallery showed on her Facebook Live.  She had gotten the heart bokeh idea from a friend.  I loved the idea and so I’ve reproduced it on this card.  I started with a card base in Balmy Blue and embossed it with the Hardwood Planks embossing folder.  The bokeh panel is on a 3 3/4x5 piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I used sponge daubers to sponge on Flirty Flamingo, Lovely Lipstick and Petal Pink ink randomly.  I cut the larger hearts in scrap cardstock from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits and the tiny heart from the Well Written framelit dies (a fabulous set by the way).  I then used the negative piece to sponge Whisper White craft ink through the openings randomly all over the cardstock and set it aside to dry.  The heart focal image features the Be Mine scalloped stitched die cut in Lovely Lipstick foil which is currently a Sale-a-Bration item you can only get for free, but hurry as stock is getting low and once it’s gone, it will no longer be available.  I stamped the inside heart in Momento ink on Whisper White and colored it in with my Stampin’ Blends markers in Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green and Lovely Lipstick.  Again, I cut it out using the same die I used to cut the scalloped foil heart.

The sentiment comes from the coordinating stamp set Meant to Be and can be purchased as a bundle to save you 10% until June 3, 2019.  I masked off the word happy in the sentiment so I could use the Well Written framelit dies to cut out the larger happy die cut.  I used a layer of clear Wink of Stella and then covered with a layer of the fine tip glue pen and set it aside to dry which gave me the look of an epoxy sticker.  This is one of my new favorite technique for some die cuts.  I placed a small piece of the Whisper White flax ribbon which is available in the Occasions catalog.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today and that I’ve inspired you to create something of your own or CASE my project.  With Valentines Day coming, this would make a great Valentines for someone you love or perhaps even an anniversary card or just because.  If you need any of the supplies I’ve used today, I would love it if you would shop my online store by clicking on the shopping cart in the upper right.  Better yet, if you would like to earn a discount on all future purchases, please join my team.  I’d be happy to have you.  Sale-a-Bration is the very best time to join as you get $175 in product for $99 or you can choose to spend $129 and receive $175 in product and an awesome logo’d  craft bag.  All details can be found at teresaharper.stampinup.net.

You make me happy notecard

For today’s project, I used the Whisper White notecards and envelopes which are found on page 193 of the annual card.  This card is #simplestamping and makes a great card for Valentines, an anniversary or just because.  It’s so easy and quick to put together.  I started with a notecard, added a layer of Designer Series Paper from the Tropical Escape 6x6 Designer Series Paper stack then stamped my focal image and sentiment from the Meant to Be stamp set on a piece of Whisper White cardstock in Momento tuxedo black ink and colored it in with my Stampin’ Blends markers.  The colors I used were Flirty Flamingo, Lovely Lipstick and Call Me Clover.  Super simple and quick.  I used my Stamperatus for perfect placement of the sentiment.

The inside image is from the same stamp set and I used the same piece of Designer Series Paper to decorate the envelope.

Hey Love You card

Today’s project features the Hey Love stamp set, Be Mine Stitched framelits and Well Written framelits.  I love all three of these products!  They are available in the Occasions catalog which runs until June 3, 2019.  I started with a card base of Flirty Flamingo and added a layer of Whisper White. The large heart and the open heart border piece are both cut with the Be Mine Stitched framelits dies out of Lovely Lipstick. Inside the heart border piece I added three Heart Epoxy Droplets which I colored with my Flirty Flamingo marker.  I stamped the ape from Hey Love in Momento Tuxedo black ink and colored him with my Stampin’ Blend markers in Basic Black light and dark, light Flirty Flamingo, light Smokey Slate and Ivory.  The works love and you are cut from the new Well Written framelits dies.  There are 24 dies in this set and they are a must have.  When combined with the Well Said stamp set of 51 cling stamps, you can make just about any card and add an inside saying for any occasion.  When you purchase these together in a bundle, you will save 10% and through March 31, you will earn a free Sale-a-Bration item when you purchase the bundle.  What an awesome deal!  Are you wondering how I made them look like an epoxy sticker?  I first adhered a piece of Basic Black cardstock to a piece of multipurpose adhesive sheet then die cut with the love and you dies.  I then brushed them with Wink of Stella and then added a layer of fine tip glue to them and let them dry.  This provided me with a sticker that looks like I purchased it from the store.

For the inside of the card, I used a sentiment from Hey Love then added another from the Meant to Be stamp set.  The scalloped hearts are from the Be Mine Stitched framelits and the center heart is stamped from Meant to Be and cut out again with the Be Mine Stitched framelits.
