Endless Love

IM422 – Endless Love

By | 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a rainbow of hearts!

ENDLESS LOVE

I love the little scribble heart in the Endless Love stamp set, so I used it to make a rainbow of hearts across my 3-1/2 x 8-1/2 slimline card!  I used the contrasting black to make the colors pop!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 7 x 8-1/2 Real Red cardstock, scored at 3-1/2 and folded.
  •  3-1/4 x 8-1/4 layer of Basic Black cardstock was added on top.
  • The 3 x 8 layer of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the scribble heart image in Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Highland Heather inks across the center.
  • The Sending You greeting was stamped with Real Red Ink in the lower right corner.
  • The arrow and XO are cut with the Endless Love Dies from Basic Black cardstock and adhered on the front.
  • A small red heart was cut with the Die from Real Red cardstock and adhered over the arrow with a Mini Glue Dot.

 

 

I think that made a great heart rainbow, don’t you?  I liked having the extra room by using the slimline card size!  OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a colorful heart print!

ENDLESS LOVE

I found some variegated designer paper in the Splash of Sparkles Designer Paper!  It is hard to tell in the photos, but it has a mottled metallic finish, so it really has a variety of colors in it because of the reflection!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1//4 x 11 Lost Lagoon cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Berry Burst cardstock was embossed with the Hearts of Love Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • The large Endless Heart was cut with the die from the Splash of Sparkles DSP and added to the front on an angle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The large arrow and XO were cut with the dies from Lost Lagoon cardstock and the arrow cut in half, then added behind the large heart.
  • The small heart was stamped with Berry Burst Ink on Bubble Bath cardstock and cut with the small heart die.  It was added next to the large heart.  The XO was adhered on top.
  • The Sending You greeting was stamped with Lost Lagoon Ink on 1/2 x 3 strip of Basic White cardstock and the ends cut at an angle.  It was added to the large heart with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The leftover Lost Lagoon heart (from the O) was added at the top background and two Loose Valentine’s Assortment hearts were added to the large heart and the bottom background.

 

Again, the metallic makes this card look so cool…wish it would photograph better!  OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
