Lots of Heart

IM161 – Lots of Heart

By | 2 Comments

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  This week we have a lovely Valentine wreath for our inspiration!  Don’t you LOVE the red and black buffalo print they used, and I love this color combination!

 

LOTS OF HEART

I knew right away I would use the buffalo check heart in Lots of Heart…and the In Good Taste Designer Paper worked great for the background!

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Poppy Parade cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic Black cardstock.
    • The In Good Taste Designer Paper is cut to 3-3/4 x 5, then added to the front.
    • The buffalo check heart in Lots of Heart was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Poppy Parade cardstock, then cut with the Many Hearts Die.
    • It was layered on the scallop heart cut from Poppy Parade cardstock with the Many Hearts Die.  Both were popped up and added to the front.
    • The XO was cut from 3/4 x 2-1/2 Basic Black cardstock and layered on a 1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Crumb Cake.  It was added on the front of the heart with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • A bow was tied from Linen Thread and added to the top of the heart with a Mini Glue Dot.
    • Three Matte Black Dots were added in the background.

Don’t you think this card looks like a wreath on a door?  Great masculine card…think I’ll save it for my husband’s Valentine card!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  Isn’t this a fun plate of cookies!  I love the bright colors!

 

LOTS OF HEART

Even though the lemons probably are a bright yellow like Daffodil Delight, I decided to stay in the Subtles range with So Saffron and Balmy Blue colors.  I think they work!

 

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Balmy Blue cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock is embossed with the new Painted Texture Embossing Folder.
    • On the left is a 2 x 5-1/4 strip of Subtles So Saffron Designer Paper.
    • In the center is a 2 x 4 strip of Subtles Balmy Blue Designer Paper.
    • The gingham heart is stamped with Balmy Blue Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Many Hearts Die.  It is layered on the Scallop Heart cut from So Saffron cardstock with the Many Hearts Die.
    • The smaller polka dot heart was stamped with So Saffron Ink on Basic White cardstock, then cut with the Many Hearts Die.
    • The hearts were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The greeting from Lots of Heart was stamped with Memento Black ink on 1/2 x 4 Basic White cardstock, then added across the front.
    • The flower was cut from So Saffron cardstock and the leaves are one side of the butterfly from Pear Pizzazz cardstock, cut with the Many Hearts Dies and adhered to the gingham heart.
    • Three blue sprinkles from the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles embellishments were adhere to the center of the flower and background.

Love the color combination this week and that gingham heart!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
