Hey there. Are you tired of this stamp set and all the cards being made using it? Or are you loving it as much as I am?? Today I have three more cards to share with you. All of them are using parts that I die-cut from the cardstock with all the blended colors the other day. But each have their own color palette and style. Hope you are inspired by what you see and try this yourself.
This is the next card that was made with these extra pieces. This color palette consists mostly of Fresh Freesia and Petunia Pop. The card base is Petunia Pop and measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". The heart was also die-cut from the same cardstock at this time. The die comes from the Hearts of Elegance Bundle that is an Online Exclusive. The 4th largest heart die was used for this.
The next layer on the card is Basic White. It measures 5 1/4" x 4". On top of this is a layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock that measures 5 1/8 x 3 7/8". I liked the look of just a tiny white border to separate them.
On the Fresh Freesia layer, I stamped one of the word stamps from the new Elements of Text stamp set. This set is sort of easy to overlook in the Mini Catalog, but well worth looking for it. It's stamped 5-6 times using Fresh Freesia ink so it's not real noticeable. On top of this, one of the splatter stamps in the set was stamped randomly. For this I used Petunia Pop ink but off-stamped it before stamping on the cardstock to get a lighter version of the color. These two layers were attached together and then to the card base using adhesive.
The label tag on the card is from the Greetings of the Season Bundle with Basic White cardstock. The word 'love' is from the Hearts of Elegance set. I only used part of the stamp and Petunia Pop ink.
The hearts layered up are the Petunia Pop heart, the inner cut-out from the heart wreaths, and the smallest heart from Hearts of Elegance in Basic White. The 'xoxo' is also from the Hearts of Elegance set and is stamped with Petunia Pop ink. The flower is one of the many that were cut from my blended cardstock. The label tag and the large heart are popped with Dimensionals.
The gem accents on the card are new and they are the Two-Tone Sparkle Gems that are an Online Exclusive item. These are so pretty and fairly flat to make the card easy to mail.
Okay, one down. On to the next.
This time the color palette was changed up to be more of a rosy look. The card base is Bubble Bath cardstock. The layer of DSP is next. It's from the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper. It measures 5 1/4" x 4". This pack of DSP is just beautiful and will make lovely backgrounds on many cards. It is embossed with the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder before attaching to the card front. This gives so much gorgeous texture to the card. It's attached with "green glue".
The label tag is the same one used in the previous card. The sentiment is from the Hearts of Elegance stamp set and is stamped with Berry Burst ink.
One of the heart wreaths that I had made the other day was used here. It's attached to the tag with dots of "green glue". Inside this wreath was added another heart. It's the 2nd smallest die from the Hearts of Elegance set and was die-cut from the Marbled Elegance DSP. It's attached to the tag with Mini Dimensionals. Then the tag was added to the card front with Dimensionals too.
For an accent, the gold ribbon from the Gold & Silver 1/8" Trim pack was used to make a bow. It was added to the tag with Mini Glue Dots to accent the gold on the DSP.
Several of the Adhesive-back Heart Sequins were added to the design. One was left plain gold; the others were colored with a Melon Mambo Blends for some added color. Love how this card turned out.
Last card for the day. Back to the Fresh Freesia and Petunia Pop color palette. Start with a base of Fresh Freesia. Add a layer of Petunia Pop that measures 4 3/4" x 3 1/2". Then cut a layer of Basic White to measure 4 1/2" x 3 1/4". The white layer is embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. Love the geometric plaid look behind the hearts. These are layered onto the card base using Dimensionals.
The 4th largest heart die was used again to cut another Petunia Pop heart. Layered onto this is another of the extra heart wreaths I made a couple days ago. In the center is a Basic White heart cut with the smallest heart die from the set. This has the same 'xoxo' stamped with Petunia Pop ink.
The sentiment is from the same Hearts of Elegance set. It's stamped on a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock that measures 3/4" x 2 3/4". Petunia Pop ink was used for stamping. This is layered onto the card front using Dimensionals. The layers of hearts are then added slightly overlapping the sentiment. Dimensionals were used for the hearts also.
For an accent on this card, I used the lovely Purple Adhesive-backed Sequins. I love all these pinky-purply colors on the sequins! So pretty. The sequin pack is one of the free Sale-a-bration items you can choose when you spend $60 or more. These are really a good bargain. You'll love them!
Okay. One last look at all three of these Valentine cards. The ones with the purple tones are definitely going to my sisters. They both love purples, so I thought these would work out just right. Next, I need to make some Valentines for my grandsons who really are getting too old for all this "girlie stuff". Hope I can come up with something more geared to teen boys.
Lots of new items were used on these three cards. When you're shopping, make sure you check out the Online Exclusives and Kits, so you don't miss anything. There's so much new that is added it's hard to keep track of it all. If you don't have either the new Mini Catalog or the Sale-a-bration brochure, please let me know. I'd be happy to get one to you.
Thanks for stopping by today and getting immersed in lots of hearts. Be sure to check in in another day or two to see what I've been stamping up for you.
Happy stamping and creating,
Sharon
