Fashionable Hearts

January 10, 2012 By Connie | 11 Comments

Oh my GOSH!!! I'm SO excited! I found out last night that Shelli (our CEO of Stampin' Up!) chose my Fashionable Hearts frame and card for her "Love is in the Air" Creative Challenge! I had made it for the December Tour de Freaks…if you haven't taken that tour…you should!!! It was pretty awesome! You can see my winning project again HERE...

A coincidence because today's card uses some leftover hearts from the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit, too! It is certainly getting a work out in my studio!

I started with a base of Crumb Cake cardstock and ran the front thru the Big Shot with the Stripes Impressions Folder. I added the 1 1/4" Daffodil Delight Striped Ribbon in the background. I cut one of the new Labels Collection frames from Very Vanilla. I stamped the LOVE from one of the Sale-A-Bration selections coming up soon…Outlined Occasions Stamp Set! Yours FREE with a $50 purchase starting January 24 (or select from any of the other Sale-A-Bration products!) Then I started adding the embossed hearts in Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight. I added some Rhinestone Jewels for bling…and a large Red button tied with White Baker's Twine. I think it is LOTS of fun and pretty simple…great for a class!
