It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop!  This week’s challenge is “I Heart You”!  We are getting close to Valentine’s Day…I need to get my cards in the mail to my grandchildren!  Not sure which one will get this one!

VALENTINE KISSES

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Strawberry Slush cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White is embossed with the Hearts of Love Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • A 3/4 x 4 strip of Made with Love DSP was added to the bottom of the Basic White cardstock.

  • The bear and large scribble hearts were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a Valentine bouquet!

VALENTINE KISSES

Looking through my stamps and dies, I saw the sign and booth stand in the Valentine Kisses dies and thought I could turn them into something that looked like the envelope in the inspiration photo!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Flirty Flamingo cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • Two 3/4 x 5-1/2 strips of Made with Love DSP were added along each side and a 1/2 x 4 strip of coordinating DSP across the bottom.
  • Some Basic White cardstock was cut with the Textured Notes Die and stamped the greeting across the bottom with Real Red Ink and the hearts at the top with Real Red Ink.
  • The “container” booth base and sign were cut from Crumb Cake cardstock with the Dies and added to the front.
  • A heart Die was cut from Real Red cardstock and added to the envelope.  All were popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The flower bouquet was stamped five times with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Pretty in Pink, Peace Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends.  They were cut with the Die and added to the “envelope” with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The bluebird was stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock, colored with Light Balmy Blue Blends, and cut with the Die, then added to the top of one bouquet with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • The pink Pearlized Faceted Circle was added to the heart.

Well…what do you think?  Looks like an envelope bouquet to me! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
