Me + You Valentine

It’s a cold, wet and dreary Sunday here in PA…so I’ll be stampin’ the day away!  Today I’m sharing a Valentine card I made for the Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge….

There were so many possibilities to consider with this challenge.  However, I wanted to make a masculine Valentine.  I find it rather difficult to make masculine cards, thus the challenge!

Here’s the Details….

  • The card base is Crumb Cake with a mat of Cherry Cobbler.
  • The next panel is Crumb Cake stamped in Soft Suede ink using the Hardwood stamp.

  • The heart was cut out using Sweet & Sassy Framelits.  Before gluing the Cherry Cobbler frame, I cut and glued the arrow from Love Notes Framelits.
  • I used the Labeler Alphabet stamp set to stamp the sentiment on a scrap piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.  I think the “messiness” of the lettering in this set was perfect for a tree carving!  I also thought that I should have said You + Me but…too late for that!
  • The sentiment was positioned and glued to the Cherry Cobbler panel.
  • The Hardwood panel was popped up using Foam Adhesive Strips for a more dimensional look.

  • The inside is pretty simple…another heart cut from Sweet & Sassy Framelits over a mat of Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
  • The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.  I find myself using this set more and more.  It has such simple sentiments for so many occasions.

  • A few Enamel Shapes finish off the card.
  • A strip of Cherry Cobbler and Chocolate Chip cardstock embellish the Crumb Cake envelope.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a chance to stamp today…even if it’s not raining!

Take care,

Rosanne

It’s Your Birthday – Let’s Celebrate!

Hi there…if it’s your birthday, let’s celebrate.  If not, let me just share this birthday card with you!

For as busy as this card looks, it came together rather quickly.

Here’s the details….

  • The festive pattern from Tasty Treats Designer Series Paper collection dictated the color combination.
  • Watermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach and Pool Party created the sweet palette.

  • The banner was created using the Banner Triple punch with strips of cardstock added.
  • The hearts were cut using the two smallest dies from Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies and the smallest heart was cut using a die from Love Notes Framelits Dies.  It was very handy having both of the sets.
  • The sentiment is from Balloon Adventures Stamp Set and cut using a die from Large Numbers Framelits Dies and popped with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • JUST FOR FUN….I added the Sprinkles Embellishments from the Occasions Catalog to the banner.  Here’s a hint on adhering them:  use a toothpick dipped in glue.

  • The inside sentiment is also from Balloon Adventures Stamp Set and is stamped in Watermelon Wonder ink.
  • Another heart cut out with a bit of Designer Series Paper underneath finishes it nicely.
  • Add some Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap and you have yourself pretty fun birthday card!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Take care,

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!
