Sweetheart Layered Flower Card

This was made a while ago as part of a class based around the Sweetheart stamp set. This is a very simple card in terms of colours and elements, but multi-layers on the flower really make this card "pop".

Stamps: Sweetheart
Ink: Basic Black
Card Stock: Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Love Letter DSP & Very Vanilla
Accessories: 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Scallop Trim border punch, scallop circle punch, Dimensionals & Neutrals Designer Buttons.

Sweetheart For You Flower

Here's a quick creation made with the Sweetheart and For You Flower stamps (I love the a la carte stamps Stampin' Up! has brought into the range - so versatile), this one in particular is terrific layered up with different circles or highlight one word using the direct marker to rubber technique.

Stamps: Sweetheart, For You Flower

Card Stock: Real Red, Basic Black & Whisper White

Ink: Basic Black & Real Red

Accessories: Basic Black 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Fancy Flower XL punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, Dimensionals, SNAIL.

Sweetheart Gift Card Holders

I recently made some gift card holders suitable for movie tickets for my son's daycare girls as a little thank you. I used the Sweetheart stamp set in different colours and these were the result:

They fold over in a wallet type fold, so they are a standard card width (14.8cm) but are only 9cm high as there is a 1.5cm overlap. The wallets are held shut with a belly band embellished with the sentiment.

I used the stamp positioner to get the leaves and stem to match up in place with the heart. The centre of the heart I texture embossed with the square lattice folder and added with dimensionals. The little flower is a Bitty button backed with the same shape punched out and all glued together with Crystal Effects.

Stamps: Sweetheart

Ink: Basic Black, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point & Real Red

Card stock: Bashful Blue, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Whisper White & Real Red

Accessories: Big Shot, Lattice embossing folder, Full heart punch, Bitty buttons, Punch Pack, SNAIL, paper snips, Dimensionals, stamp-a-ma-jig.

Sweetheart Heart Flowers

We made two similar cards at a recent class using the Sweetheart stamp set to make heart flower cards. The first used a punch overlay of textured card stock and the second was stamped directly onto the card stock. I love how the full heart punch co-ordinates perfectly with this stamp set.

I loved the effect the textured card stock via the Bid Shot textured impressions lattice folder (summer mini catalogue) gives this card, popped up on Dimensionals. The bitty heart button is also very cute! I tied a knot through it with linen thread and adhered the button knot side down with Crystal Effects (awesome as a glue as well as a clear lacquer). The leaves and stem of the flower were stamped in Versamark and hand cut to give more dimension as well.

Stamp Set: Sweetheart
Ink: So Saffron, Versamark, Basic Black
Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood red, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Dimensionals, Big Shot, Lattice textured Impressions plate, paper snips, SNAIL, white gel pen, full heart punch, mat pack & paper piercer, scallop border punch.

The next card was very similar - all the same elements, just arranged differently. This time the textured card stock was part of the base and the heart was stamped directly into rather than adding a punched out heart.

Stamp Set: Sweetheart

Ink: So Saffron, Old Olive, Not Quite Navy

Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood red, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Dimensionals, Big Shot, Polka Dot textured Impressions plate, paper snips, SNAIL, mat pack & paper piercer, Stamp-a-ma-jig, scallop border punch.
