B right and cheery card perfect for Valentine's Day or an anniversary using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer and punches:
- card from Lovely Lipstick Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Balmy Blue Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- yellow stripe pattern heart on white background punched from patterned hearts on white background design from Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper using the smooth heart punch in the Heart Punch Pack
- blue stripe pattern heart on white background punched from patterned hearts on white background design from Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper using the smooth heart punch in the Heart Punch Pack
If you haven't already done so, use the smooth heart punch from the Heart Punch Pack to punch out the hearts from the designer paper.
As you are ready to stamp using the Heartfelt Photopolymer Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the large dotted outline heart image from the Heartfelt Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Lovely Lipstick Ink Pad. Stamp it on the end of the white strip.
Mount the "So lucky to have a friend...", "From My Heart to Yours," or "Love You Lots" sentiment from the Heartfelt Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Lovely Lipstick Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the previously stamped dotted heart outline image.
Unlock the smooth-edged heart punch from the Heart Punch Pack. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment heart image into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Mount the long arrow image from the Heartfelt Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Crushed Curry Ink Pad. Stamp it on the large white rectangle at an angle so the feathers on the end are on the left and about 3/8" from the left edge and 1-1/8" from the bottom. The top of the arrowhead should be about 1-1/4" from the top.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the punched out hearts on the left side of the arrow-stamped, large, white rectangle so they overlap a bit and overlap the stamped arrow as shown.
Mount the tiny, hollow heart image from the Heartfelt Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Balmy Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it a few times randomly around the punched out hearts as shown. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Clean the stamp using the Simply Shammy and/or Stampin' Mist and Stampin' Scrub, but leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the tiny, hollow heart image on Block A with the Crushed Curry Ink Pad. Stamp it a few times randomly around the punched out hearts as shown. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Let some of the images overlap previously stamped tiny hearts. Clean the stamp using the Simply Shammy and/or Stampin' Mist and Stampin' Scrub, but leave the stamp on the block.

Now, adhere the heart punch outs in place one at a time. Use SNAIL Adhesive to adhere the two designer paper hearts and Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment heart.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the Balmy Blue rectangle and then to the front of the Lovely Lipstick card.
Cut a 12" piece of the So Saffron Twine from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins Combo Pack.
Fold the twine in half. Tie the folded twine in a tiny bow. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot (squish it down a bit) to adhere the tiny bow to the front of the card at a slight angle in the angle formed between the right side of the sentiment heart and the left side of the blue designer paper heart.
