Hearts in a Row

Today I have a card that has been stuck in my head for quite sometime and I’m so pleased that it came out exactly the way I envisioned it….that certainly doesn’t happen all the time!

Stampin Up Sealed with Love Valentine card - Rosanne Mulhern stampinup

This card also fits in with the Stamp, Ink, Paper Color Challenge this week…

Here’s the Details….

  • The card base is Whisper White with a mat of Real Red cut 1/8″ smaller
  • The top layer of Whisper White measures 5 1/4″ x 4″.
  • I divided the paper into 1″ sections by lightly drawing a pencil line vertically.
  • Using the Love Notes framelits dies, cut out the hearts in a random pattern centering them on the pencil line.
  • With a ruler and black Stampin’ Write Marker, draw dotted lines down the pencil line, varying the lengths.  Then lightly erase the pencil marks.

  • Using patterns from the Sending Love 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Pack, cut small squares and line them up behind the cut out hearts and glue them to the Real Red mat.

  • The sentiment, also from Sealed with Love stamp set, was cut with a die from Bunches of Banners framelits dies.  I love this little die.  It’s the most used die in my  set.  It’s popped up with dimensionals.
  • The cut out panel was attached to the Real Red mat using Foam Adhesive Strips to give a dimensional look.
  • Finally, for some subtle Razzle Dazzle, tiny Rhinestone jewels were added in between the dashes.  This just takes the card over the top…IMHO!

  • Another sentiment from Sealed with Love and pattern from Sending Love DSP complete the inside.  It was a happy coincidence that the pattern almost mimics the card design!

A Little Tea Time

Good Morning….since the temperature here in PA is 13°, I’m sending some WARM thoughts your way with my card share today.

Stamp Ink Paper Card Maker’s Choice challenge was my inspiration for today’s card.

I’ve had this cute little stamp and die set for a few months and not sure what took me so long to  create with it.  It’s called What the Doodle: Tea Time from Papertrey Ink.  Anyone who knows me, knows I love tea and all things tea related so this sweet tea cup was just my “cup of tea”!

Here’s the Details:

  • The Soft Sky card base measures 5″ x 5″ and each subsequent layer is 1/8″ smaller.
  • The teacup is layered on 1/2 doilie and Blushing Bride satin ribbon.
  • The coloring was done using the Subtles Stampin’ Write Markers. After coloring the tea cup, the swirly steam and medallion, I cut them using the coordinating dies.
  • It’s the Little Things!  To sweeten this little cup, I added some tiny pearls.
  • The sentiment was cut using Lot of Labels framelits and an Enamel Shape from the Subltes collection was added.

  • The inside was largely left blank to write a personal note, but if you follow me regularly you know that I enjoy embellishing the inside of the card and the envelope almost as much as the front.  So I added a little sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and an image from the Tea Time stamp set.

 

  • Since this isn’t a standard sized card, I used the Envelope Punch Board to create one.
  • Hint:  I purchased a ream of 80 lb. text paper from my local office supply store to use to make envelopes.  It is a bit heavier than regular copy paper but not too heavy to add extra postage.  It’s also heavy enough that you can’t see through it.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a lovely Sunday.

Take care,

Rosanne

A Merry Moose

Stampin Up Jolly Friends Christmas card idea - Rosanne Mulhern stampinup

Even though we are in the final stretch for Christmas, I’m still having fun creating Christmas cards.  And this card was a LOT of fun to make.  I admit that the only reason I bought the Jolly Friends stamp set was for this adorable moose.

Here are the Details:

  • The card base is Crumb Cake with a mat of Basic Black and a pattern from the Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper collection.

  • The wreath is stamped using the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and coordinating Wonderful Wreath framelits.  This set is one of my all-time favorites that I will never tire of using.
  • Mr. Moose was stamped in Basic Black Archival Ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and fussy cut.
  • The sentiment comes from the Star of Light stamp set and the banner is from the Number of Years stamp set.  Both of these sets are photopolymer which made it easy to stamp the sentiment inside the banner.
  • Everything! is popped up with dimensionals.

  • The inside sentiment is from the Holly Jolly Greetings.
  • Adding the DSP to the inside and envelope is a great way to use those extra strips that you would probably just throw away and really creates a perfectly coordinated card.

I hope you are winding down on your holiday preparations and will have some time to relax and enjoy yourself…perhaps by making a card!

Take care,

Rosanne
