It’s hard to believe that we’re already into February. And that means it’s time to start thinking about all of those special someones. Whether it’s kids, spouses, significant others, or close friends, I’m going to show you how your crafty stash has you covered.
Today, we’re getting started with the Sale-a-Bration bundle called Heart Shaped and pairing up these stamps & dies with the beautiful Marbled Elegance patterned paper. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that I can’t resist having a little sparkle on my designs and today we’re going all out. After all, isn’t that what we do for the ones we love?!
We get started on today’s design with a base of white cardstock. Our background panel is built on a base of gold foil and then a single sheet of the Marbled Elegance paper but using both sides – the foiled side and the print side. I used a piece of the Wild Wheat rustic striped ribbon to bridge the two patterns and tie our golden elements together. Our focal elements are two hearts cut with the Heart Shaped dies using both gold foil paper and the Real Red festive glimmer paper. I wanted the hearts to have a lot of visual weight and so I opted to keep the decorative outlines with their center negatives, but I swapped the centers to outline the gold in red and red in gold. They’re both adhered to the background panel with varying heights of dimensionals and then surrounded with gold heart sequins. The sentiment from the Heart Shaped stamp set is stamped in Cherry Cobbler on white cardstock and then diecut with the label die from the coordinating Heart Shaped die set. I flanked the sentiment on either side with a small gold heart sequin. The sentiment panel is mounted over a twist of gold thread on a decorative banner cut from gold mercury vellum using the Mixed Labels die. The full panel is then adhered to the background panel with dimensionals toward the bottom center of the design.
We’re going to be touring through a whole host of products this week as we make card some love-themed card designs. So I hope you’ll pop in and see how you can create some cute designs for the special people in your life!
